Trenton Titans News Release


Hockey will remain at the Sun National Bank Center in Trenton, NJ, as the Trenton Titans are returning to play the 2011-12 East Coast Hockey League season in Trenton, NJ. The team will now be affiliated with the Philadelphia Flyers whom they were originally affiliated from 1999-2006.

The announcement was made on Thursday afternoon at a press conference at the Sun National Bank Center.

"We are thrilled to be re-affiliated with the Flyers," said Titans President/CEO Rich Lisk, who was the General Manager of the original Titans. "It is important for us to be connected to the Philadelphia Flyers and their enthusiastic die-hard fan base. This is going to be a terrific affiliation and we cannot wait to drop the puck.

"There is a high interest in the Greater Trenton area for Flyers hockey and we know how much this means to our fans," added Lisk. "We are excited to be contributing to the development of future Flyers stars.''

"The Philadelphia Flyers and the Comcast-Spectacor Family of Companies are excited to be affiliated with the Trenton Titans," said Comcast-Spectacor President Peter Luukko. "As our ECHL affiliate, we're confident that our prospects will be playing in an environment here in Trenton that will help them develop their ultimate potential."

By realigning their affiliation with the Flyers, the Titans, which played the past four seasons as the Trenton Devils, will continue playing at the Sun National Bank Center. When Trenton first entered the ECHL, the team was originally affiliated with the Flyers.

"In addition, with our management company, Global Spectrum, operating the arena, and with our advertising and sales division, Front Row Marketing Services, selling sponsorship opportunities for the Titans, we will create cross-promotional opportunities to help grow their fan base and fill the arena," added Luukko.

"This is a tremendous opportunity for hockey fans in Trenton and the surrounding region to identify new up-and-coming future prospects and watch them grow into possible NHL stars," said Luukko.

The Titans, who are owned and operated by Blue Line Sports LLC, will open their 2011-12 season on Friday, October 14 when they travel to Elmira, N.Y.. The Titans' return to home ice will be on Saturday, October 22 vs. the Florida Everblades.
