Griffins and Sled Wings Ready for Tuesday Night Tilt

December 8, 2008 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Grand Rapids Griffins News Release


In one of the most unique events anywhere involving a professional sports team, the Griffins each season play a friendly but spirited game of sled hockey against the Grand Rapids Sled Wings, a talented team of physically challenged teenagers sponsored by the Griffins Youth Foundation in partnership with Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital.

This season's fourth-annual game is set for Tuesday, Dec. 9 at Griff's IceHouse (30 Coldbrook NE), with the Griffins looking to avenge last season's gut-wrenching 4-3 defeat to the Sled Wings.

Tickets will be available at the door for just $5 (free to children 2 and under). From 6-7 p.m., try out a sled on the ice for a $1 donation, challenge a Griffins player to a game of bubble hockey or air hockey for a $3 donation, or take part in a free autograph session with Griffins players. All proceeds from the event benefit the Sled Wings and the Griffins Youth Foundation.

The sled hockey game will face off at 7 p.m.
