January 8, 2013 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Oklahoma City Barons News Release
Oklahoma City - The Oklahoma City Barons and Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity are teaming to dedicate a home that Barons players, coaches and staff they recently helped build. The dedication takes place at the home site at 516 SE 26th at 2 p.m. in COHFH's Los Rosa addition on Thursday, January 10.
Barons players, coaching and front office staffs took part in the framing of the home October 30 and helped paint the interior of the home in early December. In addition to the keys to their home, the first-time home owner will receive a package of merchandise from the Barons. Included with the package are four tickets to the team's home game this Saturday against the Charlotte Checkers.
Head coach Todd Nelson, General Manager Bill Scott, captain Josh Green and alternate captains Dane Byers, Chris VandeVelde and Alex Plante are also expected to attend.
"Working on homes with Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity has been a rewarding experience for our staff and players," said Prodigal LLC owner Bob Funk Jr. "Working with the home owners during the process is particularly gratifying. Seeing the reaction of the family as the home was progressing was rewarding. We can't wait to see their reaction when they receive the keys."
The Barons return home for three games this weekend. Oklahoma City faces off against the Charlotte Checkers, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. The Barons take on the Texas Stars in a Sunday afternoon game at 4 p.m. The first 2,000 fans through the doors Friday receive a Barons Hockey Stick courtesy of Loves and Frito Lay. Friday night also features $1 hot dogs and $2 16-ounce draft beers.
The team continues its Drive Away Every Saturday promotion on Saturday, January 12 as one lucky fan will win a brand-new Ford Edge. Fans can skate with the team following Sunday afternoon's game and enjoy $1 hot dogs and $1 regular-size soft drinks.
A variety of ticket packages are available to meet every individual or group need. Packages ranging from seven-game and 11-game packs and full season seats are available. Call the Barons' front office (405) 232-4625 for information on group outings, season seats and other ticket pages.
