Local is everything
The annual hockey match between federal lawmakers and lobbyists is happening in Arlington this month.
The 2025 Congressional Hockey Challenge is scheduled to take place at the MedStar Capitals Iceplex in Ballston on Tuesday, March 25.
Members of Congress who have expressed interest in this year’s match include U.S. Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.), House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), and U.S. Reps. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.), George Whitesides (D-Calif.), and Tony Wied (R-Wis.)
The yearly event pits congresspeople, administration officials and staff against lobbyists. Tickets are $10 and the puck drops at 7:30 p.m.
“We’re proud to once again lace up the skates to support the NHL Foundation and its grant to help grow the game for women and girls, the Fort DuPont Cannons, our veteran’s charity partners,” Nick Lewis, co-founder and president of the Congressional Hockey Challenge, said in a press release.
Since 2009, the game has raised over $1 million for charity.
“I look forward to playing in the Congressional Hockey Challenge each year, especially with our six-year winning streak on the line,” Emmer said. “Hockey holds a special place in my heart, and the chance to play the game to raise money for our veteran community and others makes it that much more special.”
