Each year the Baltimore Banners invite the community into our home to showcase our players, and spread positivity through hockey. This year, our Banners are playing against a team of Baltimore area hockey enthusiasts that are rallying behind their good friend Eric Huss. Eric has recently been diagnosed with cancer, and has chosen hockey to spread positivity. In late 2025, Eric and his friends came together in Reisterstown to play and raise money for our program. We are forever grateful for Eric's desire to make the best out of any situation and heal through hockey.

We are inviting Eric's close friends into our home in Patterson Park on March 14 at 11am to rally around them, and to rally around our rink. The Banners are also dealing with negative news as Baltimore City currently plans to close our home rink permanently after this season. We are not going down without a fight, but if this is our last party in the Bubble; we are going to make it a party you can't miss.

Come watch hockey, share some smiles, and rally around our teams, our families, our friends, our rink, and our HOME. Let's show the world that this rink is worth saving.
