It was the Night of Knights at the Gatorade Garden City Complex as the Niagara IceDogs took on the Plymouth Whalers in Ontario Hockey League action.

NC mascot Knightro, along with student and staff, were out in full force as part of Niagara College Night. It was a great opportunity to promote Niagara College and its programs, along with the upcoming Spring Open House March 23.

Ten lucky NC employees were on hand for the game after winning tickets through last week’s InsideNC trivia contest. Despite the lopsided score — Plymouth had a huge second period on the way to a 7-1 win — a great time was had by all.
