The cup, sponsored by the Steve Henley Memorial Foundation, will mark the start of a new tradition for Wayland and Weston hockey.

The night of hockey will also feature a food truck with hamburgers, chicken fingers, french fries, hot chocolate and more for the crowd, Wayland and Weston students singing the national anthem and a 50/50 raffle.
