Prior to the game, WoodmenLife will be handing out approximately 2,000 handheld American flags for fans to wave during the National Anthem. Members of the ROTC will also be presenting a 30 x 60 feet American flag on the ice during the National Anthem, courtesy of WoodmenLife, a part of its ongoing support to patriotism.
