The Idaho Steelheads claimed a massive 7-0 shutout against the Allen Americans, on Wednesday, March 19! College of Western Idaho (CWI) was equally fortunate. It being the final game of the CWI Nights season, the proceeds — collected from a percentage of ticket sales — were presented on the ice to CWI President Gordan Jones in the form of a ceremonial check. The total for the 2024-2025 season: $6100!
Students, faculty, staff, and alumni came out to support the Steelheads and scholarships at Idaho Central Arena. Throughout the game there were noticeable signs CWI was in the arena — from advertisements on the scoreboard to Steelheads’ mascot, Blue, sporting some CWI swag. Faculty and students from the Nursing and Health Sciences programs were also in attendance, on hand to assist in the ceremonial puck drop.
The College’s enrollment team was on site too, with a booth at the Arena to meet and engage with prospective and current students, signing several up for a chance to win the SCORE Big Scholarship and a new CWI hockey jersey featuring the College's new official mascot, River the Otter.
The impressive win for the Steelheads and great turnout from CWI wasn’t the only thing to celebrate as David Loboda, a Dual Credit student hoping to study civil engineering, was randomly chosen as the $1,000 SCORE Big Scholarship recipient for the night. Loboda was awarded the scholarship by President Jones and CWI Foundation Board members on the ice during the game’s second intermission.
Thank you to everyone in the CWI community for supporting scholarship throughout the Idaho Steelheads 2024-2025 season! CWI Nights will continue this summer so stay tuned!
