Harriman Law is thrilled to announce our sponsorship of the Oakland Skates, a newly formed semi‑professional hockey team bringing fresh energy, excitement, and community spirit to downtown Oakland. From the moment the Skates took the ice for their first public event this past Saturday, it was clear that something special is taking shape in our city.
Several hundred people came out to watch the team’s inaugural tryout game including families, longtime Oakland sports fans, curious neighbors, and kids seeing live hockey for the first time. The atmosphere was electric. The crowd was loud. And the sense of community was unmistakable. It wasn’t just a game; it was a gathering of people who care deeply about Oakland and want to see it thrive.
At Harriman Law, we believe in supporting organizations that strengthen the fabric of our community. The Oakland Skates are doing exactly that by creating a space where people can come together, cheer together, and celebrate Oakland together. Their commitment to building something positive and accessible in the heart of the city aligns perfectly with our firm’s values.
We’re proud to stand behind the Skates as they grow, compete, and continue bringing people downtown for fun, family‑friendly events. Saturday’s turnout showed just how much appetite there is for this kind of local, community‑driven sports experience. And this is only the beginning.
We can’t wait to see what the season brings, and we look forward to cheering on the Oakland Skates alongside all of you.
