Frisco, Texas "" On Wednesday, February 15th at 7:30pm at the Dr Pepper StarCenter in Frisco, the Texas Tornado will host the second annual Pros vs. Prospects Tornado Charity Classic, matching the Back-to-Back National Champion Texas Tornado Hockey team in a game against a team of former NHL Stars including former Dallas Stars' players Guy Carbonneau, Craig Ludwig, Shayne Corson, Brent Severyn, Shawn Chambers, Dave Gagner, and Grant Ledyard. Additional players participating in the event will be announced at a later date. Ticket prices for the game start at only $20.00 and go on sale to the general public Tuesday, January 24th, at 9:00am. Tickets can be ordered by calling the Tornado office at 972-335-9800, via the Internet at www.tornadohockey.com, or in person at the Texas Tornado office at the Dr Pepper StarCenter in Frisco. Luxury suites and Party Rooms will also be available for purchase. "It is exciting to be hosting this great event for the second straight year," said Texas Tornado President and Owner Kirby Schlegel. "Hockey fans in the DFW Metroplex will enjoy watching the great collection of former Dallas Stars and NHL veteran superstars that have committed to play in this game for a great cause."
Last season, the Pros defeated the Tornado, 6-2 in the first annual Pros vs. Prospects Charity Classic, as Dallas Stars defenseman Sergei Zubov was named as the game's MVP, playing along side Dallas Stars teammates Mike Modano, Marty Turco, Brenden Morrow, and Stu Barnes. Last year's game sold out in less than four hours and raised money for the Texas Tornado and Mike Modano Foundations. Actor Chuck Norris and former Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul were among the celebrities who were in attendance. Following the game, there will be a live charity auction for the fans to bid on all of the game-worn jerseys worn by the Pros team.
