March 24, 2004 - ECHL (ECHL)
Dayton Bombers News Release
The Dayton Bombers have announced that Ed Gingher has resigned from his post as General Manager of the Dayton Bombers, effective April 5. He has accepted a position as Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations of Dayton, Ohio's new AAA Midget Major Hockey Team- the Dayton Jr. Bombers, who have an affiliation with the ECHL's Dayton Bombers.
The Jr. Bombers are an Independent Midget Major AAA Hockey Club that will compete in eight to ten highly competitive USA Hockey Tier I Tournaments plus a full schedule of games against top-ranked midget teams in the 2004-2005 Hockey Season. The goal of the program is to develop young players (in ages 15-17) on and off the ice in preparation for higher competitive levels.
Gingher, who has served the Dayton Bombers in numerous capacities since the 1998-1999 season (Assistant Coach- 1998-1999, Assistant General Manager- 1999-2000, General Manager- 2000-2004), stated, "The Dayton Bombers colors run and will always run very deep for me and my family, but this is a wonderful opportunity that has presented itself. I look forward to the new challenges that await me. I will cherish the memories that I have had here for my six years as well as the previous seven years in which my father was an owner. I will always be a friend of the Bombers." Gingher will finish the 2003-2004 season with the Bombers.
The search for the new General Manager of the Dayton Bombers is underway.
The Dayton Bombers will welcome Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson, to their game on Sunday, March 28 (6:00 p.m.) at the Ervin J. Nutter Center after a pair of road tilts Friday and Saturday at Peoria against the Rivermen. Both of the road games can be heard on WUDR 99.5 FM or on www.daytonbombers.com (8:05 p.m. game time/ 7:50 p.m. broadcast times).
On Sunday, the Bombers will gladly share the evening with Kettering native Cartwright, who is visiting Dayton to help raise money for two local charities, Project Read and The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Ohio. Cartwright's book, "My Life As A 10-Year Old Boy," will be for sale at the Dayton Bombers' game, and she will be available to autograph books (no memorabilia) for fans attending the game. Cartwright will be involved in substantial fan and Make-A-Wish children interaction activities inside the arena. The Bombers will donate $1 from each walk-up ticket to The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Ohio.
Fans are encouraged to arrive early for game night, purchase a ticket at the box office, and participate in pre-event activities. In addition, both Cartwright and Books & Co. will donate a portion of their proceeds from on-site book sales to Project Read.
The Bombers will also be having face painters, balloon animals, and a Moonwalk Inflatable on the Nutter Center concourse to augment Kids' Silly Sunday activities. Also, the folks from Supercuts will be offering $5 Haircuts with proceeds benefiting Clips-For-a-Cure. And, at another Big Mac Power Play Pack game, fans can receive Two Silver Game Tickets, Two Big Macs, and Two Bombers' Hats for just $25.
To purchase tickets for all Nutter Center Bombers' home games, contact the Bombers' office at (937) 775-4747, log onto www.daytonbombers.com, or visit the Nutter Center Box Office. To purchase Bombers' Merchandise or reap the benefits of Bombers' 2004-2005 Season Tickets, call (937) 775-4747.
