Laredo Bucks News Release
LAREDO, TX- The Laredo Bucks of the Central Hockey League, in conjunction with the City of Laredo, announced that the team's mascot Bucky has stolen the BBVA Compass Bank zamboni from Laredo Energy Arena and has been arrested. Bucky stole the zamboni Monday afternoon and was involved in a chase with the Laredo Police Department on Jacaman Road before being arrested. Bucky is currently in jail and the zamboni has been impounded.
Bucky's goal of stealing the zamboni is to help the Bucks sellout Saturday's Pucks for Autism game at Laredo Energy Arena. If the game sells out with 8,002 fans the Bucks will donate $10,000 to FFASAA (Families for autism support and awareness).
"Bucky is trying to help raise awareness about Saturday's game so we can sell out and donate $10,000 to FFASAA," said Bucks President/General Manager and Head Coach Terry Ruskowski. "We want to accomplish the goal of selling out the game so we are asking Laredo to support the Bucks, Bucky and FFASAA."
Call 718- BUCK (2825), go to www.ticketmaster.com, or stop by the LEA box office to order. Tickets are also available through FFASAA. Tickets are also available through FFASAA for just $12 (best available seating). Call Ramon Orduno at 763-6044 or e-mail him at Rorduno@stx.rr.com. The first 1,000 fans will get an autism awareness bracelet.
Since March of 2007 the Bucks have donated over $60,000 to local charities thanks to the "Pack the House for Charity" games.
