St. Catharines, ON – The Niagara River Lions announced today that youth groups and organizations can now apply to take part in the Niagara Trailers High 5 Tunnel at all 2025 home games. This exciting initiative gives groups of 10 to 20 children the chance to stand courtside and high-five River Lions players as they enter the court for pre-game warm-ups. After the tunnel experience, participants will stay to cheer on the team from the Niagara Trailers row.
Groups are encouraged to apply for this FREE opportunity by completing the online form available now through May 9, after which 11 groups will be selected to participate.
At Niagara Trailers, community involvement has always been something we take great pride in,” said the Petrie family, owners of the locally owned and family-operated business, proudly serving the region since 1972. “We’re thrilled to once again partner with the River Lions and support the High 5 Tunnel initiative. Our family and staff love attending games—they’re always exciting, memorable, and a great night out. It’s also an incredible chance to watch elite athletes in action, including potential future NBA stars. We’re proud to be part of this experience again in 2025 and wish the Niagara River Lions a fantastic season ahead.”
The River Lions and Niagara Trailers share a deep belief in the power of sport to bring people together and inspire the next generation.
“Creating meaningful connections between our team and the community is what River Lions basketball is all about,” said Michelle Biskup, President of the Niagara River Lions. “We are thrilled that Niagara Trailers continues to support this initiative allowing young fans to attend games and take part in this memorable experience.”
