Huntington, N.Y. – Town of Huntington athletes swapped helmets, gloves, jerseys, skates, cleats, bats and other sporting equipment Saturday March 29th at the Town of Huntington’s Inaugural Sport Swap at the Dix Hills Ice Rink.

Residents were encouraged to drop off gently used hockey, baseball, soccer, lacrosse and figure skating equipment to the ice rink in March and received one voucher per item donated for the “Sport Swap”. Residents who were unable to make a donation ahead of time were permitted to “Shop the Swap” with a donation to the Huntington Youth Council. Members of the Huntington Youth Council were on hand to assist “Sport Swap” shoppers as they browsed through the donated merchandise. 

“The Inaugural Sport Swap was a terrific success and brought several sporting communities together,” commented Councilwoman Berland. “Sports equipment is expensive, so offering a forum where families can pick up ‘new’ equipment while donating their ‘older’ equipment helps everyone. I would like to thank the Huntington Youth Council for being the sales associates for the day and the Dix Hills Ice Rink staff for running everything smoothly.”
