Bullies Unveil 2004-05 Schedule

May 25, 2004 - ECHL (ECHL)
Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies News Release


ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - The Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies of the ECHL have announced their 72-game schedule for the upcoming 2004-05 season. The entire 1,080-game league schedule was released earlier this afternoon at the ECHL offices in Princeton.

For the first time since relocating to Atlantic City from Birmingham, Alabama prior to the 2001-02 season, the Bullies will open their schedule away from Historic Boardwalk Hall on Friday, October 22 against the Greensboro Generals. Opening Night 2004 at Boardwalk Hall will take place the following Friday, October 29 when the Bullies will host its in-state rival, the Trenton Titans. Prior to the game, the Bullies will honor recently retired Captain Stefan Rivard by raising his #21 jersey to the rafters.

The Bullies will play 27 of their 36 home games on either Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. That's an increase of 3 games from the 24 weekend home dates in 2003-04. While start times have yet to be determined, select Saturday and Sunday home games will be held during the afternoon to increase attractiveness to families. Last season, the Bullies averaged 4,694 fans over five afternoon home games that were held on either Saturday or Sunday. The Bullies will continue to offer the Family Four Pack, which includes 4 tickets, 4 hot dogs, and 4 sods for just $44, for all Saturday home games, and the Kids Day Special for all Sunday home games where all children 12-and-under get in for just $1 with the purchase of an adult premier ticket.

The 2004-05 schedule features a heavy dosage of current divisional opponents with 61 games inside the division, and a more balanced schedule. The Bullies will play every team in the current Northern Division alignment at least 7 times, while facing off against Trenton, Northern Division Champion Reading, and Dayton 10 times each. Dayton will make their first appearance at Boardwalk Hall since December, 2002 on November 17.

Outside the Northern Division, the Bullies will welcome to Atlantic City such opponents as Long Beach on November 24 and November 26, Bakersfield on January 12, and first-time visitor and former ECHL Kelly Cup Champions South Carolina on November 20. Also, the Bullies and Greenville Grrrowl will meet in a battle of former ECHL Kelly Cup Champions for the first time since the Bullies relocated to South Jersey on October 23 at the Bi-Lo Center.

Another first includes the first New Year's Eve game to be played at Boardwalk Hall, as the Bullies host Trenton on December 31.

The Bullies had a record of 37-16-5 last season against its 2004-05 opponents.
