Grand Rapids Griffins News Release


Grand Rapids Griffins (18-17-4-4) vs. Hamilton Bulldogs (19-19-1-4) TONIGHT 7 p.m. Van Andel Arena Saturday 7 p.m. Van Andel Arena

* Having earned points in four of their last five games (3-1-0-1), the Griffins have climbed back into the Western Conference playoff race, where no team is more than four points out of a playoff spot. Grand Rapids is three points back of eighth-place Peoria, which has played three more games.

* Tonight is '80s Night, when fans can relive the "Me Decade" with music, dress, contests and videos. The game also features dollar beers and hot dogs from 6-8 p.m., while supplies last, and free transportation on the Rapid to and from the game by showing a ticket to tonight's contest.

* In celebration of Hockey Day in West Michigan on Saturday, over 300 kids and 44 teams will play nearly 140 games at Van Andel Arena from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. during the Griffins' fifth annual Cross-Ice Jamboree. Thanks to Lake Michigan Credit Union, 2,500 fans will receive a bobblehead of former Griffins defenseman Niklas Kronwall, the first Griffins alumnus to serve as an alternate captain for the Red Wings. The fun continues after the game, with a J&H Family Stores Post-Game Open Skate, the first this season where fans will be joined by select Griffins players. Several players will also be signing autographs from the bench in a Huntington Bank Post-Game Autograph Session.

TICKETS: Tickets for both games can be purchased in person at The Zone at Van Andel Arena and all Star Tickets outlets, including Meijer stores, by phone at 222-4000 / 800-585-3737, or online at griffinshockey.com.
