March 31, 2010 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Grand Rapids Griffins News Release
Grand Rapids Griffins (31-35-3-4) vs. Rochester Americans (40-31-2-1) TONIGHT 7 p.m. Van Andel Arena
- The Griffins will complete a three-game homestand and try to maintain their late-season surge tonight when they stage an intradivisional battle against Rochester.
- Since their current 6-1-1-2 run began on March 5, the Griffins have suffered the fewest regulation losses of any AHL team. The next-best marks during that stretch belong to AHL-leading Hershey (9-2-0-1), Western Conference-leading Hamilton (9-2-0-1), Texas (10-2-0-0) and Bridgeport (9-2-1-0). Grand Rapids has earned as many wins and points (six and 15) in its last 10 games as it did during the preceding 27-game stretch from Jan. 3-March 4 (6-18-2-1, 15 pts.).
- If Grand Rapids beats Rochester on Winning Wednesday, each fan in attendance will be able to redeem their ticket stub for a free ticket to the Griffins vs. Amerks game next Wednesday, April 7.
- Fans who present their Grand Rapids Public Library card or Kent District Library card at the Van Andel Arena box office tonight can purchase a lower bowl ticket for just $10 - a savings of $7! Limit four tickets per card per person.
TICKETS: Tickets for tonight's game are available at The Zone at Van Andel Arena and all Star Tickets outlets, including Meijer stores. Call 222-4000 / 800-585-3737 or purchase online at griffinshockey.com.
