Fort Worth Brahmas News Release
NO NHL, NO PROBLEM: Dallas Stars desperate for a hockey fix need to make plans to be at the Brahmas home game this Friday night, Dec. 3, at 7:30 p.m. when Brenden Morrow and the Oklahoma City Blazers will be in town at the Fort Worth Convention Center to take on the Brahmas.
The Dallas Stars winger is the only NHL player currently playing in the CHL as a result of the NHL lockout. In 15 games this season with the Blazers, Morrow has scored 5 goals and assisted on 11 others while playing at a +4 rating.
Friday night will be the first of three scheduled visits that Morrow will make to Cowtown with the Blazers. Fans can expect an intense game, as the Blazers will be looking to avenge a 3-2 loss to Fort Worth this past Saturday night at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City.
PURPLE POWER: The Friday night December 3rd game versus Oklahoma City will also be the Brahmas' TCU Appreciation night. The Brahmas players will be wearing commemorative TCU themed jerseys for the game, and the jerseys will be auctioned off to the fans immediately following the game in a live auction.
