Friday, Jan. 9 is Jake Guentzel Bobblehead Night at Baxter Arena, celebrating one of the most accomplished players ever connected to Omaha Hockey, and the timing couldn’t be better.

With Jake Guentzel recently named to the U.S. Olympic team, interest in this giveaway is expected to be high. If you’re planning to be there, here’s what you need to know to make the night go smoothly.

Giveaway Details

A total of 3,000 Jake Guentzel bobbleheads will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The giveaway is sponsored by Vance Thompson Vision.

  • One bobblehead per person

  • All ages are eligible

  • No season ticket required (single game attendees can get one)

  • Everyone must be physically present and in line to receive a bobblehead

This is not a “one per ticket on the account” situation — each individual fan gets one, while supplies last.

Where to Go

Updated information as of Tuesday 5 p.m.: Bobbleheads will be distributed at both the Main (West) AND North entrances.

The exact distribution location is still being finalized, but organizers are likely moving the giveaway area to the Blue Line Bar. This change is intended to reduce congestion at the top of the stairs and create a safer, smoother entry experience for fans.

Once the location is officially confirmed, it will be communicated in advance so fans know exactly where to line up, said Camden Stockton, senior associate athletic director of external affairs.

A Special Night for Omaha Hockey Fans

Guentzel’s success at the NHL level — and now on the Olympic stage — continues to shine a spotlight on Omaha Hockey. Bobblehead nights are always popular, but this one carries a little extra meaning for fans who followed Jake’s journey from college hockey to international stardom.

If this giveaway is on your must-have list, plan to arrive early, pay attention to the announced location, and enjoy a night that celebrates both the past and present of Omaha Mavericks Hockey.
