Everett Silvertips

This Week In Silvertips Hockey

December 4, 2008 - Western Hockey League (WHL)
Everett Silvertips News Release


The Everett Silvertips and Chilliwack Bruins are offering fans a special deal for the upcoming Saturday December 27th/Sunday December 28th home and home series.

Silvertips fans who order tickets directly from the Chilliwack front office for the 5:00 pm game on Sunday, December 28th at Propera Centre will receive $18 tickets for only $12. You'll save $6 over the normal walkup price per ticket.

To order your tickets, please call Vanni De Bartolo in the Bruins' front office, reachable at (604) 792-4625, extension 105. This offer is NOT available on the day of the game, so for this special rivalry discount, you'll have to preorder your tickets by December 19th.

We know there'll be a bunch of Bruins fans trekking south for the game in Everett on the 27th, so we hope to see a ton of green and white in the stands in Chilliwack on December 28th!

Celebrate Christmas with Lincoln at the Everett Mall!

The Everett Mall invites you to stuff your stocking with free gifts from KMPS and the Silvertips!

On Thursday, December 18th from 4 to 6 pm, you can get your picture taken with Santa AND Lincoln! You'll also be able to visit with KMPS radio personality Stubbs, win Silvertips tickets and souvenirs in addition to gift cards, iPods, and other great prizes.

This is a great place to bring the kids to meet the WHL's friendliest mascot while celebrating the holidays!

Silvertips Christmas Party: Thursday, December 11th at Alligator Soul

Silvertips fans, you are cordially invited to the Silvertips Christmas Celebration, held at Alligator Soul next Thursday!

From 6 to 8 pm on Thursday, December 11th, four members of the Silvertips will be on hand at Alligator Soul, located at 3121 Broadway in Everett (one block south of Comcast Arena). We'll be painting Christmas ornaments, designing Christmas trees, and enjoying the yuletide spirit! You'll be able to meet the players, get autographs, have your pictures taken, and win prizes, all while enjoying Alligator Soul's renowned Cajun/Creole cuisine. At our Halloween Party at "The Alligator", fans won hockey tickets, a team-signed stick, autographed paraphernalia, and other various Silvertip items, so we hope you'll come on out for another exciting holiday party and leave with something special!
