CWI Nights Return — SCORE Big with Idaho Steelheads Hockey

Published: October 7, 2025

College of Western Idaho (CWI) is proud to partner once again with Idaho Steelheads for CWI Nights during the 2025-2026 Season! 

Students, alumni, employees, families, and friends are invited to join the CWI community at the arena for an evening of hockey, school spirit, and scholarship support. For just $25.44, fans will receive admission to the game along with a meal voucher for a Double R Ranch hot dog, chips, and a small drink. Even better, $5 from every CWI Night ticket goes directly back to the SCORE Big Scholarship Fund, helping students achieve their goals. 

Each CWI Night will also feature opportunities for students to win big. CWI’s outreach team will be hosting a table on the concourse where current and future students can enter to win a $1,000 SCORE Big Scholarship, awarded during the second intermission right down on the ice. One lucky winner will also walk away with a CWI hockey jersey making the evening even more memorable.
