Eagles, Altitude Announce TV Games for 2008-09 Season

Colorado Eagles News Release


WINDSOR, Colo. - The Colorado Eagles and Altitude Sports & Entertainment announced today the games scheduled to be televised on the Kroenke-owned sports network for the 2008-09 season. Altitude (available through Comcast Cable, DirecTV and Dish Network) will broadcast five Eagles home games during the regular season, including the Central Hockey League's All-Star Game in which the Eagles - as the host team - will be taking on a team composed of All-Stars from the rest of the league.

Another highlight of the scheduled games includes the Eagles game against the Tulsa Oilers on Veteran's Day (November 11). The Eagles have annually paid tribute to the military during a November home game, but they're taking their efforts to a whole new level in 2008. The team is asking their season ticket holders to donate their tickets for the Tuesday night game to several organizations that will re-distribute them to military members, both retired and active, and their families. The goal is to fill every seat in the Budweiser Events Center (capacity: 5,289) with members of the military and their families - a way of giving back to those who have given so much themselves.

Tori Holt is scheduled to be the play-by-play broadcaster for each game on Altitude. A color-analyst lineup will be announced at a later time.

The complete list of regular season games scheduled for broadcast on Altitude include:

Tuesday, November 11 vs. Tulsa (Military Appreciation Night): 8 p.m. Broadcast*

Friday, November 28 vs. Rapid City: 7 p.m. Broadcast

Wednesday, December 17 vs. Oklahoma City: 7 p.m. Broadcast

Wednesday, January 14 vs. CHL All-Stars (2009 CHL All-Star Game): 7 p.m. Broadcast

Saturday, February 21 vs. Rocky Mountain: 7 p.m. Broadcast

*Live puck-drop for the November 11 game will be a regular 7:05 start; broadcast will be delayed an hour due to programming conflict.
