Moncton Wildcats News Release


Make up games tonight and tomorrow:

The Wildcats will play a pair of make up games tonight and tomorrow night. Tonight at 7, the Val d'Or Foreurs will the opposition for the Cats. This game was originally scheduled for November 5th but was postponed because of the H1N1 virus. Tickets for that November 5th game will be honored tonight. It's also Ticket Redemption Night for Season Ticket holders. Get your tickets for the game by calling the Box Office at 857-4100 or on line at www.moncton-wildcats.com

On Wednesday night the Wildcats will travel to Saint John for Round 5 of the Rivalry Cup at Harbour Station at 7 pm. The winter storm of Saturday caused cancellation of this game. The two extra games mean a busy week for our Wildcats, who will be at home to the Acadie-Bathurst Titan on Saturday night at 7 and the Halifax Mooseheads next Sunday afternoon at 4.

Art On Ice brings fan support:

Fans of the Wildcats showed their support for the Art on Ice program in a big way and we mean BIG. Created by the students in the five community elementary schools, the Art pieces brought in total of $2500.00. The concept developed by District 2 and supported by the Wildcats with support from Downtown Moncton Inc and displayed at several downtown locations as well as the Coliseum. The participating schools were Magnetic Hill, Beaverbrook, Forest Glen, Port Elgin Regional and Shediac Cape. The breakfast program at these schools along with their developing art programs will benefit from the funds raised.

All the winners are listed on the Wildcats website: http://www.moncton-wildcats.com/en-ca/community/art-on-ice.php

Pieces can be picked up at the Wildcats office Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm

Payments accepted: cash, debit, Visa, Master Card

Round four of the Rivalry Cup produced the first sellout (6803) of the season. There were some BIG winners as well. :

Cat of the Day:

A tip of our Wildcats cap to Terry LeBlanc of Advatek Systems Inc who kindly provided us with the scale to weigh the food donated by the fans for our Food Drive Challenge. We've had so many pounds donated that as of right now, we're still weighing.
