HARTFORD, September 22, 2009: Northland AEG announced today a new partnership between the Hartford Wolf Pack and the CT Lottery. The CT Lottery will be billed as the "presenting sponsor" of the Wolf Pack's 2009-10 season, the team's 13th year of play at the XL Center.

The new relationship will involve the CT Lottery in all aspects of Wolf Pack presentation and will include a specially-designed, co-branded Wolf Pack/CT Lottery logo (which appears at the top of this news release and is attached to this e-mail). That logo will be featured on all Wolf Pack printed material and promotional correspondence throughout the season. The CT Lottery will also be promoted in XL Center in-ice signage and on Wolf Pack game broadcasts, and the CT Lottery and the Pack will collaborate on numerous in-arena, game-night promotional activities.

"The CT Lottery is proud to be the presenting sponsor for the American Hockey League's Hartford Wolf Pack this season," said Anne M. Noble, President & CEO of the CT Lottery. "Since the Wolf Pack established itself twelve years ago as 'CT's Team,' Connecticut's residents have enjoyed the fun, entertainment, and community spirit of the team and its players. We expect that a partnership with the Wolf Pack will help to increase the CT Lottery's visibility as the Wolf Pack has exceptional brand recognition and loyal support from its fans. They're a winning team and the CT Lottery is excited to be the presenting sponsor for what we expect will be a year of exciting sports entertainment for our state's citizens."

"This is the first time in the Wolf Pack's 12-year history that we have had this level of commitment from a single sponsor," said Chuck Steedman, Senior Vice-President and General Manager of Northland AEG and the XL Center. "The CT Lottery does countless great things for the State, and we are proud to partner with them to bring another great season of Wolf Pack hockey to the sports fans of Connecticut."
