November 4, 2009 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Manitoba Moose News Release


For the second consecutive year, the Manitoba Moose are pleased to once again welcome Santa Claus on Saturday, November 14th when the Moose face the Toronto Marlies at 7:30 p.m. at MTS Centre.

The visit from Kris Kringle will coincide with the annual Power Smart - JCI Winnipeg Santa Claus Parade which will take place in downtown Winnipeg, travelling east on Portage Avenue beginning at 5:00 pm and ending at 7:15 pm. That same night, the Moose will once again host the Marlies at 7:30 pm at MTS Centre - right after the parade.

To get in the holiday spirit, Santa Claus will be present at the game and will be available for pictures throughout the night in the south end of the concourse. Pictures are $2.00 each.

Also, fans at the MTS Centre prior to the game who show their game ticket will receive a FREE hot chocolate from 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm at the entrance to the arena at Portage Ave. & Donald St.

Street closures and congestion will only be experienced prior to the Moose game. At the end of the parade, prior to the conclusion of the game, all streets will be re-opened and leaving the downtown area will be no different than a regular Moose game. However, please consult www.mooosehockey.com or call the Moose offices at 204-987-7825 to get more information about appropriate routes and parking availability around the MTS Centre that night.

Those Moose fans who have pre-paid parking already will receive a coloured "Dash Card" which will indicate to police and monitored local-access-only barricades that they are allowed access to one of our Pre-Paid Lots. These spots will be available as they would be any regular gamenight.
