Toledo Royal Knights News Release


Toledo, OH. The ABA Toledo Ice today announced that there will be a press conference to introduce the team's new coach and general manager, Dennis Hopson. The Toledo legend will be answering media questions regarding the new coaching staff of the Ice as well as the upcoming Toledo Tryout Camp scheduled for October 28-31 - plus the 2006-2007 ABA Season Schedule.

The saying goes, "You can never go home..." For Coach Hopson, that saying isn't even close to factual. The former Chicago Bull and Ohio State University all-time leading scorer will return to his NW Ohio ala mater, Bowsher High School, for his first press conference as coach and GM of the team.

The press conference will be held Thursday, October 26th at 6pm at the Bowsher High School gymnasium. Press kits, team and schedule information will be available to all media outlets. Toledo Ice owner Chris Dotson and Team Advisory Board Chairman Ben Williams will also be on hand to introduce Coach Hopkins and others and answer any media questions in regards to the teams new ownership, tryouts, plans and strategy for Toledo's "coldest" new sports team. For more information, email basketball@toledoice.net, call Coach Hopson at 614 989 1364, visit www.toledoice.net or www.abalive.com.
