Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will drop the ceremonial first puck before the Philadelphia home opener at the Wachovia Center Saturday night.
Palin, who has described herself as "hockey mom" and is the current governor of Alaska, was invited by Flyers owner Ed Snider.
"Because of the tremendous amount of publicity she has brought to our sport, we invited the most popular hockey mom in North America to our home opener to help us get our season started," Snider said in a statement. "We are very excited she has accepted our offer and we are very proud of the publicity she is generating for hockey moms and the sport of hockey."
The team said it will give all hockey moms at that game a free "pucker peach" lipstick and four tickets to a game of the Flyers' minor league affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms.
