Aeros Added To T-Shirt Tour
December 3, 2005 - ECHL (ECHL)
Mississippi Sea Wolves News Release
BILOXI, Miss. - The Houston Aeros of the American Hockey League welcome representatives from the Mississippi Sea Wolves of the ECHL at their home game tomorrow against the Cleveland Barons at 5:05 p.m. at Toyota Center to sell "Hurricane Survivor T-shirts" to their fans.
On August 29, Hurricane Katrina forced the team into an extended offseason due to extensive damage inside the Mississippi Coast Coliseum flooding the front office, locker rooms, ice making equipment and two Zambonis. The team will return to the ice in October of 2006.
"We're delighted to join the Sea Wolves' Texas efforts," said Tom Garrity, Aeros' president. "They are a valued member of the I-10 hockey community. With the arrival of Hurricane Rita upon Texas' shores just weeks after Hurricane Katrina, the cause hits close to home."
"We want to thank the Houston Aeros for providing us a chance to fundraise," Sea Wolves general manager Jesse Martin said. "We're grateful for the support from another member of the hockey family. It will help us get back to normalcy."
Sea Wolves will be represented by Martin and director of broadcasting and media relations Mike Kelly.
Beginning the weekend with San Antonio of the AHL on Friday, Sea Wolves reps are in Corpus Christi of the Central Hockey League tonight and wrap up the three games in three days tour in Houston.
