Connecticut Whale News Release
Hartford, CT ... Whalers Sports and Entertainment president and COO Howard Baldwin, Jr. announced today that the public skating sessions planned tomorrow, Tuesday, February 22, at the Harvest-Properties.com Whalers Hockey Fest 2011 outdoor rink at Rentschler Field have been cancelled. This includes the sessions open to the general public and the Connecticut Whale season ticket-holder skate.
"Taking into account all that the ice has been through with the extreme weather conditions, we feel strongly that this is the safe thing to do," Baldwin, Jr. said. "We are tremendously grateful for the support that we have received from all of our great fans who have attended the Harvest-Properties.com Whalers Hockey Fest events. And we look forward to welcoming fans to open skates at the XL Center following our remaining Sunday Whale home games, and our season ticket-holders to their exclusive skate with the Whale players at the XL Center next Monday, February 28."
The Harvest-Properties.com Whalers Hockey Fest 2011 concludes tonight with youth hockey action, and cthockeyleague.com recreational games. The highlight of the biggest event in Connecticut hockey history was this past Saturday's Harvest-Properties.com Whale Bowl, which drew an American Hockey League-record crowd of 21,673 to an AHL battle between the Whale and the Providence Bruins, preceded by a Whalers legends vs. Boston Bruins legends game.
