Aces Confirm Pre-Season Games Will be Played at Sullivan Arena
October 5, 2012 - ECHL (ECHL)
Alaska Aces News Release
The Alaska Aces have confirmed that their Paint the Rink Pink exhibition games will take place at Sullivan Arena on Monday and Tuesday, October 8 and 9. Ice has begun to go in at Sullivan Arena and both games will be played as originally scheduled. The Aces host the Las Vegas Wranglers at 7:15pm with a portion of the ticket sales going to benefit the local fight against breast cancer. Tickets for the games are just $15 and are currently on sale. The Aces office will be open on Saturday from 10:00am-3:00pm where seats can be purchased. Tickets are also available at Fred Meyer locations or online at www.ticketmaster.com. For more information, please contact the Aces office at 907.258.ACES, or visit them on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/alaskaaceshockey.
For the sixth consecutive season, the Aces are dedicating their exhibition schedule to help in the local fight against cancer. The Aces have teamed with Breast Cancer Focus Inc. and the American Cancer Society to ensure that 100% of the funds raised during "Paint the Rink Pink" will stay local in Alaska. The themed, two-day event will feature the games played in the Sullivan Arena, along with pink specialty jerseys worn by the Aces that will be auctioned off to fans after Tuesday's game. Local non-profit organizations who help fight cancer will be on hand to answer questions from fans, and provide information about cancer treatment, prevention, and support.
The series will pit the Aces versus the Wranglers in a rematch of last season's Western Conference Finals which Las Vegas won four games to one. Alaska and Las Vegas have represented the Western Conference in the Kelly Cup Finals in each of the last two seasons and three of the previous four years. The Wranglers will only make one regular season visit to Anchorage in the upcoming season. They come to Alaska for a three-game set in late February. For more information, please call the Aces at 907.258.ACES or visit them on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/alaskaaceshockey.
