March 9, 2011 - Central Hockey League (CHL)
Laredo Bucks News Release
LAREDO, TX- The Laredo Bucks, along with Crime Stoppers, announced that part of the proceeds from ticket sales to Saturday's (Mar. 12th) game against Arizona will be donated to the Jaime J. Zapata ICE agent scholarship fund.
Special Agent Zapata was killed recently in the line of duty as an agent for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) working in the agency's Mexico City office. He was 32.
The Bucks and Crime Stoppers will honor agent Zapata during Saturday's game with a video tribute on the jumbo tron.
Tickets are on sale now by calling Crime Stoppers' Lisa Peterson at 956-724-1876 or 718-BUCK (2825).
Also on Saturday the Bucks will induct two-time CHL All-Star Chris Grenville as the first member of the Bucks Hall of Fame. The first 1,000 fans to enter the LEA will receive a FREE Chris Grenville Hall of Fame replica plaque.
In October Grenville received the most votes out of all of the Bucks' Legends who were eligible to make the Hall of Fame. The voting was comprised of the Bucks fan vote on Legends Night and Bucks front office staff.
Grenville, with his family on hand, will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at a special ceremony during the game that night.
Grenville is one of the greatest players in Laredo Bucks history. Grenville, an original Buck, played three seasons in Laredo from 2002-2004 and 2005-06 and helped lead the franchise to two CHL President's Cup Championships.
