Albany River Rats News Release


ALBANY, NY - The Albany River Rats announced today details surrounding the club's promotional activities scheduled for a pair of home games this weekend against the Hershey Bears and the Providence Bruins at the Times Union Center.

The 7:00 p.m. match-up against the defending Calder Cup Champion Bears on Friday night will feature the popular Aramark Dollar Dogs promotion where all fans can get $1.00 hot dogs and small sodas at select Times Union Center concession stands. Fans will also be treated to the second semi-final round of the River Rats' "Battle of the Bands" series presented by Success Recordings & Molson Canadian.
