Phoenix RoadRunners News Release
Phoenix, Ariz. - The Phoenix RoadRunners of the ECHL have announced that the Stanley Cup, hockey's most prestigious trophy, will be on display for the general public from 5PM-6:45PM on Saturday at the America West Arena Plaza as part of "Turn Back the Clock Night" when the RoadRunners host the Long Beach Ice Dogs.
The Stanley Cup is currently on a 20-city ECHL tour to help raise money and awareness for the hurricane relief efforts. Fans will be able to have their picture taken with the Stanley Cup and donate to the ECHL/Salvation Army Hurricane Relief Fund. For those who don't have a camera, printed pictures, provided by Big Mack Images, will be available for a $10 donation. The Tour is another addition to the National Hockey League's charitable efforts which have included a joint donation with the NHL Players' Association of $1 million to the Red Cross for Hurricane Katrina relief.
RoadRunners season ticket holders will have the privilege of a private viewing with the Stanley Cup from 3:30PM-5PM inside the Casino Arizona Pavilion.
As part of "Turn Back the Clock Night", the RoadRunners will wear vintage sweaters from the 1977-78 season when they finished runner-up to the Pacific Hockey League Champion San Francisco Shamrocks. These game-worn jerseys will available for purchase following the game through an online auction at www.phxroadrunners.com beginning Thursday, December 1 and running through Saturday, December 10. A portion of the proceeds will also benefit the ECHL/Salvation Army Hurricane Relief Fund.
It's also the second of six "Past Great Nights" at America West Arena as the RoadRunners honor former International Hockey League star and team broadcaster Darren Veitch. The first 2,000 fans will receive a coupon for a commemorative Darren Veitch pint glass that they will receive upon exiting the arena.
