Locals and Districts of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) Midwest Territory will sponsor a “Salute to the Military” hockey game featuring the Quad City Storm on Saturday, November 8, 2025. The event will take place at Vibrant Arena in Moline, Illinois.
The IAM Union Hockey Night will include activities such as Chuck-a-Puck, a live player jersey auction, and tributes to veterans. Proceeds from the event are designated for Guide Dogs of America | Tender Loving Canines (GDA | TLC), which is identified as the IAM Union’s preferred charity.
Ahead of the game, supporters are invited to participate in a Paint the Ice event on Monday, November 3. This allows individuals to have a veteran’s name painted on the ice as a form of recognition for their service.
IAM District 6 is handling sponsorship payments, with checks payable to GDA and “Hockey Game” noted in the memo line. The address for submissions is IAM District 6, 2000 Walker Street, Ste. J Des Moines, IA 50317.
