Eat, Sleep, Hockey, and Reading

Happy Monday Steel Fans! Today we are coming at you with an exciting school program that your school or child's school can participate in. It's our "SCORE WITH READING" Program. The Chicago Steel reading program is FREE and geared towards promoting good reading habits among students in kindergarten through fifth grade by utilizing Steel player visits, opportunities to win prizes, and free tickets to Steel games.  Through this mentoring program, students are encouraged to attain specific reading goals during the season with various rewards provided for their reading achievements. 

Since today we are talking about reading, we figured that we would ask the players:
