- The Griffins will conclude a five-game home stand this weekend by hosting the Manitoba Moose's first two visits of the season.

From 6-8 p.m., fans can visit Van Andel Arena concession stands to purchase $1 hot dogs and $1 beers (21 oz. domestic drafts, with ID). A host of ticket offers include the Wendy's Family Four Pack, Bono's Pit BBQ Student Night, Library Night and the web coupon. Visit griffinshockey.com for complete details.
- For Saturday's rematch, Cody Linley - a.k.a. Jake Ryan from Hannah Montana - will meet fans and sign autographs before the game, thanks to Lake Michigan Credit Union. Fans can bring their skates and take to the ice after the game for the O'Charley's Post-Game O'pen Skate.
- Saturday's game will be televised live throughout Michigan at 7 p.m. on Comcast Local.
