The Milbauer family from Rye Brook, New York celebrated their son Mitchell’s Bar Mitzvah on October 2, 2010 at Congregation Kneses Tifereth Israel (KTI). Following services they were off to Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff Manor, New York.
A lover of hockey Bar Mitzvah boy Mitchell wanted a hockey theme party and they transformed Trump National into “Mitchell’s Square Garden.”
Featured L-R: Dad Seth, brother Alec, Bar Mitzvah boy Mitchell, Mitzvah Mom Tracey and sister Gillian.

This clever phrase was inscribed inside his yarmulke, “Don’t go through life without goals.”
Daniel Florist and Events created the adults decor with hockey elegance. The kids sat in Mitchell’s VIP hockey lounge fully equipped with bleachers, lounge furniture and benches separated by hockey boards. The place cards were chocolate hockey pucks displayed on a plexiglass rink!
Mitchell’s lounge area was splashed with his favorite teams colors – the Rangers of course!
The ballroom was black and silver with mini Stanley Cup centerpieces
Ranger goalie Henrik Lundqvist or Mitchell Milbauer!?
The official time and scoreboard hung for all to see
The sign-in locker, also from Daniel Florals and Events was filled with some of Mitchell’s hockey equipment
Talk about “making an entrance’ – we love this! Mitchell got introduced under a tunnel of hockey sticks held up by his hockey teammates!
The sweatshirts for the boys had a Mitchell Square Garden logo and the ones for the girls said Peace Gloves Hockey (as pictured above).
