The Atlantic Coast Hockey League today announced that it will stage two regular season professional hockey games at the Savannah Civic Center in late February. The two games are considered "test" games by the ACHL to gauge the interest in possibly placing an ACHL franchise in Savannah in time for the 2003-2004 hockey season.
ACHL Game Information:
Friday, February 21st @ 7:30PM: Macon Trax vs. Winston-Salem Parrots
and
Saturday, February 22nd @ 7:30PM: Cape Fear Fire Antz (Fayetteville, NC)
vs. Winston-Salem Parrots

All tickets are subject to the Civic Center's $1.50 per ticket facility surcharge.
"Based on the 10,000+ hockey fans who supported last weekend's college hockey tournament in Savannah, there appears to be a lot of hockey interest in the area," ACHL President Bill Coffey said. "These two games are a golden opportunity for the Savannah area to show their support for professional hockey."
