Amarillo Gorillas News Release
AMARILLO, TX - The Amarillo Gorillas of the Central Hockey League (CHL) have been forced to cancel this evening's game against the Austin Ice Bats due to inclement weather and unsafe road conditions for the Ice Bats as they travel from Colorado. A make-up date will be determined in the near future and should be announced before the end of next week. The tickets for this evening's game will be honored for the make-up game. The Gorillas apologize for any inconvenience.
The Gorillas have planned a New Year's extravaganza party in place of the game though and fans are still encouraged to come and ring in the New Year with your hometown team. Fans will be treated to a special Gorillas skills contest starting at 7 P.M. where the team will demonstrate its skating, shooting and stick handling prowess. The team will then participate in an inter-squad scrimmage where the Gorillas will be displaying their specialty Bud Light New Year's jerseys. Directly following the scrimmage, the ice will be opened up for a public skate with the Gorillas.
The Gorillas will then host a special New Year's party in the Ape Escape where the specialty Bud Light New Year's jerseys will be auctioned off and fans will be able to participate in a karaoke contest where the winner will receive a $350 cash prize.
This will be a ticketed event with the tickets scheduled for this evening's game serving as admission into this evening's festivities. All fans in attendance are then instructed to hold onto their tickets for this evening's game as they will then be redeemable for the make-up game.
