Published on March 11, 2008 under American Hockey League (AHL)
Manitoba Moose News Release
The Manitoba Moose, in conjunction with Hockey Manitoba and Winnipeg Minor Hockey Association, are reminding all Manitoba community clubs and minor hockey teams that there are only six Moose home games remaining until the conclusion of the hockey club's Community Jersey Promotion.
Since November 9, 2007, community clubs have been eligible to receive credit for every Manitoba Moose ticket purchased through Ticketmaster or at the Moose office. The community club with the most tickets purchased will have the honour of having their jersey worn by the entire Moose team during a regular season AHL game next season. The winning club will also receive six game-worn Moose Community Club jerseys autographed by the players, as well as a pancake breakfast at their community centre hosted by Moose players, coaches, and staff in October 2008.
In addition, the community club that finishes in second place will host a full Manitoba Moose outdoor practice at their community centre during the 2008-09 season, featuring all Moose players and coaching staff as well as a full team autograph signing following the practice.
Earlier this season, 20 rural and city community clubs were randomly selected to have one of their jerseys worn by a Moose player during warm-up for Minor Hockey Night on February 16th, 2008. This week, each jersey will be autographed and, where possible, personally returned to its home club by the Moose player who wore it during warm-up.
As of Tuesday, March 11th, the top of the leaderboard looks as follows:
1. Southdale Rec. Association 1115 tickets
2. Fort Garry Community Club 1040 tickets
3. Dakota Community Club 919 tickets
