Bombers Receive Former OSU Captain Crain from Sea Wolves
November 27, 2002 - ECHL (ECHL)
Dayton Bombers News Release
The Dayton Bombers Professional Hockey Team has announced that it has acquired defenseman Jason Crain from the Mississippi Sea Wolves as the future considerations in the deal that sent center Mike Renzi to Mississippi.
Crain is a four-year product of Ohio State University, where he captained the Buckeyes during his senior season (2001-2002). The 6'3", 190 lb. rookie blueliner was drafted by the National Hockey League's Los Angeles Kings in the third round of the 1999 NHL Entry Draft.
A native of Natrona Heights, Pennsylvania, Crain, 22, had three assists and eight penalty minutes in 16 games played with the Mississippi Sea Wolves earlier this season.
The Bombers, who announced earlier today that five players will be attending Metro Parks' Riverscape in downtown Dayton from 3-5 p.m. this coming Sunday, December 1 to skate with fans, have three East Coast Hockey League games this week, beginning on Thursday, November 28 versus the Lexington Men O'War (7:30 p.m.). The Dayton Bombers will look for their first victory against the Men O'War this season in this special Thanksgiving game at the Ervin J. Nutter Center.
On Friday, November 29, the Bombers will play at Cincinnati against the Cyclones (7:05 p.m/ 6:50 p.m. broadcast time on www.daytonbombers.com- "Listen Live Section"- in association with www.sportsjuice.com). The Bombers will be making their first visit to the newly christened US Bank Arena this season.
On Saturday, the Bombers will entertain the Toledo Storm (7:30 p.m) on Teddy Bear Toss Night at the Nutter Center. Fans will hurl their Teddy Bears onto the ice after the Bombers' first goal. The bears will then be donated to local police and fire departments, the Children's Medical Center, and to the Toys for Tots program. At last season's Teddy Bear Toss Night (12/15/02), the Bombers wasted no time, scoring a goal 1:07 into a 5-2 win over the Johnstown Chiefs.
Tickets for all Bombers' home games as well as corporate marketing packages are available through the Bombers' office by calling (937) 775-4747 or by logging onto www.daytonbombers.com, or by visiting the Nutter Center Box Office.
