Laredo Bucks News Release


LAREDO, Texas – The defending CHL Champion Laredo Bucks have declared a whiteout for their Saturday, March 12th, game against the Austin Ice Bats. The Bucks are currently on the road for a season high five game road trip. When the team returns they ask all fans to wear white to help support them in the March 12th game.

The Bucks will assist fans with the whiteout by offering 10 percent off all white merchandise at the Bucks Team Store located at the LEC.

Fans are encouraged to wear white in a show of solidarity for the hometown Bucks. The effect of the whiteout creates a feeling of unity between the fans and the team.

Whiteouts are common in the NHL for the Phoenix Coyotes, who carried the tradition from Winnipeg. In the late 80's the Calgary Flames of the NHL were famous for their Sea of Red as their fans would wear red to all playoff games
