Fresno Monsters News Release
Fresno, CA - The NAHL Fresno Monsters will host the Wenatchee Wild in games 3 and 4 of the west division semifinals this Wednesday at 7:45pm and Thursday at 7pm at Gateway Ice Center in Fresno, CA. The Monsters spoiled home-ice advantage for the Wild by splitting the series last weekend in Washington, falling in game one on Friday but responding in game 2 on Saturday with a huge 3-1 victory.
"Saturday night was an unbelievable game in Wenatchee," Head Coach/G.M. Eric Ballard explains. "At the end of the regular season we were sad to learn that our official game facility Selland Arena didn't have ice available due to another booked event. However, we are so excited to play the first-ever NAHL Fresno Monsters' playoff games at our practice facility. That building is going to be electric, packed with the best fans in the league."
Gateway Ice Center is located at 2478 N. Marks Ave. in Fresno, just north of Clinton. Admission to the games is just $5 at the door with first-come, first-serve seating and standing room. Game 5 (if necessary) is scheduled for Sunday, April 21 at 5:05pm at the Toyota Town Center in Wenatchee, WA.
Fans are also encouraged to watch the games live on fasthockey.com.
Gateway Ice Center will be closing May 1st or after the Monsters' season. Fans are encouraged to attend what could be the last-ever Monsters' games.
