Owners Bill and Terri Seymour are partnering with the Jackals for a schedule of 19 Monday night shows at O'Ryans during the regular season. The show will be extended into the Jackals playoff season on dates to be announced in April 2008.
The show will feature head coach Steve Martinson each night along with several Jackals, appearances by Jackals general manager Robbie Nichols, highlights form the past week's games, news from around the ECHL, prize giveaways and more.
