The Seattle Thunderbirds are taking on the Portland Winterhawks tonight at the ShoWare Center. The T-Birds are ready to go, but are you? Do you have your tickets? It is also Fan Appreciation Night, so make sure to get your tickets and head over to the game for some fun and prizes.

You can also check out all of the fun volunteer projects that the Birds have been up to lately.

The Birds are so well known for their community service efforts in Seattle, ranging from working at and raising money for the Ronald McDonald House to hosting events to get stuffed animals for children in crisis to mentoring kids one on one at local schools. Children who were mentored by the Birds at Neely-O'Brien Elementary School in Kent were recently given the opportunity to tour the ShoWare Center. They got to see the rink, some behind the scenes areas and even the team locker room, which they really enjoyed. You can see some highlights at the link where there’s a video of the tour.
