Greenville Grrrowl News Release


GREENVILLE, SC – The Greenville Grrrowl of the ECHL, proud affiliates of the Chicago Blackhawks and Edmonton Oilers, have announced a partnership with TEAMLINE Internet service to provide live audio broadcasts for the upcoming season. TEAMLINE provides a free audio stream of the games that are broadcast live from the event site.

Greenville did not have a broadcast for the 2003-04 season, and have been working with many possible options to provide the fans a way to follow the team during the 2004-05 season. The majority of the games will be available through a web link on www.grrrowl.com, with the final schedule of broadcast games to be determined at a later date. The games will be available on Internet at no cost to the fans, and allows for unlimited number of listeners. TEAMLINE also offers an option for fans to tune into the games via telephone at the listeners expense.

"We are excited to be able to provide a broadcast to our fans for the upcoming season," commented Grrrowl Executive VP and GM Byron Rucker. "This is an element that we felt was a priority for our organization. The search for the right partnership has been slow and deliberate, and we feel that TEAMLINE offers our fans the best option through the Internet. The last piece of the puzzle will be putting a voice on the broadcast, and we are finalizing plans for that position with our organization."

The Grrrowl will open the 2004-05 schedule with a home game on Friday, October 22, 2004 against the Charlotte Checkers. Season tickets (starting at $238), mini-plans and flex packs are available now by contacting the Grrrowl office. Please call 467-4777 for additional ticket information.
