Macon changes two home dates

Macon Trax News Release


[Macon, Ga.]—The Macon Trax and the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL) announced the Trax have changed two home dates. In order to accommodate a featured event at the Macon Centreplex, the Trax agreed to alter the home schedule with some minor changes.

The Trax were originally scheduled to host the Winston-Salem Polar Twins the day after Thanksgiving, Friday, Nov. 26. Instead the two teams will meet in Macon three days earlier on Tuesday, Nov. 23. In addition to the date change, the Trax will host their first ever "businessman/student special." Puck will drop at a special

3:05 pm start.

Details about this special afternoon game will be forthcoming. The Trax will have ticket specials along with some other surprises to make the afternoon of hockey a memorable event.

"It is another new idea we are going to try in the community," said Russ Friedrichsen, Trax Operation Director, "Most of the schools will be on a fall break so we hope to see a lot of local students and business professionals at the Centreplex that afternoon."

The other change gives the Trax a much welcomed Friday night affair instead of a Sunday afternoon contest. The Columbus Cottonmouths will come to the Centreplex Friday, Jan. 28 at 7:05 pm. Originally the game was set for Sunday afternoon Jan. 30.

"I am very excited we are able to gain an additional Friday night." said General Manager Joe Suk, "It will only fuel the rivalry with Columbus to have them in here on a traditionally better attended night for hockey."

The Trax begin their 2004-05 season with a six game road trip on Oct. 29 and Oct. 30 in Huntsville and Columbus respectively. The Trax will debut on home ice Saturday, Nov. 20 against the Columbus Cottonmouths at 7:05 pm. Check the Trax website at www.macontrax.com for a complete schedule.

Make sure to reserve your season tickets and single game tickets for the 2004-05 season. The Trax open their home schedule on November 20 against the Columbus Cottonmouths. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Trax office at (478) 742-4849. Season tickets start as low as $99 and single game tickets are only $6.
