Barons Supporting Movember Movement by Growing Mustaches

November 2, 2012 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Oklahoma City Barons News Release


Oklahoma City - The Oklahoma City Barons players and staff are joining Integris Men's Health University in shaving their upper lips today in preparation for MOVEMBER. Beginning tomorrow, they will attempt to grow mustaches to celebrate MOVEMBER and raise awareness for issues facing men's health.

Now in its ninth year, MOVEMBER started in Melbourne, Australia, where "Mo" is Aussie slang for moustache. In MOVEMBER men on sports teams and in other groups grow moustaches (or mustaches, if you prefer) to raise money and awareness for men's health issues.

The Barons will show off the mustaches of the players and staff who participate in weekly updates on Barons Beat, the Barons website and Facebook page. You too can show off your mustache by uploading pictures to the Barons Facebook page at facebook.com/okcbarons. Fans interested in donating to the Barons MOVEMBER movement can visit mobro.co/okcbarons.

Each Barons home game in the month of MOVEMBER features a 'Mo Station to allow fans to create their own mustache right at the rink. Any fan who has real or fake mustache is eligible for the Best Mustache contest at each home game in the month of November.

During the month of MOVEMBER, fans can earn a $4 discount on a single-game ticket by showing their mustache at the Cox Convention Center box office on the day of the game only. Women can also take advantage of this offer by wearing a fake mustache to the box office.

Oklahoma City closes out a season-long seven-game homestand this Friday and Saturday with home games against the Houston Aeros. Faceoff for both games is 7 p.m. The weekend concludes Sunday in San Antonio when the Barons take on the Rampage at 4:30 p.m.

Friday, is Faith and Family Night with the Barons. The first 2,000 fans through the doors receive a one-of-a-kind Barons Faith t-shirt. Saturday, the Barons are giving away the third of 12 cars on the season. The winner of the car Saturday night drives away in a Jeep, courtesy of the Barons and John Vance Auto Group.

Saturday, the Barons and their fans will help determine the outcome of the upcoming Presidential election. The Barons have ordered Presidential Candidate bobbleheads. The team has 1,500 Barack Obama bobbleheads holding a hockey stick left handed and 1,500 Mitt Romney bobbleheads holding a hockey stick right handed. Barons fans planning on voting for Obama area asked to go in the main entrance to the left, while fans planning on voting for Romney are asked to go in the main entrance to the right.

A variety of ticket packages are available to meet every individual or group need. Packages ranging from 7-game and 11-game packs to Full Season Seats are available. Call the Barons' front office at 405-232-4625 for information on group outings, Season Seats and other ticket packages.
