SAINT JOHN, NB --- The Saint John Sea Dogs and Saint John Vito's have announced that the two teams will be staging a special double header at Harbour Station this coming Saturday, January 2.

"We're very excited about holding this promotion in partnership with the Vito's," says Sea Dogs President Wayne Long. "They're a great organization that does a wonderful job of developing young hockey players. We're proud to be able to stage a unique event such as this with a fellow Port City-based team, and we're looking forward to what should be an exciting day of hockey at the Station."

Game One of the double bill will begin at 1:00pm and will feature the Vito's taking on the Moncton Flyers. The second match of the day will pit the Sea Dogs versus the Moncton Wildcats (puck drop: 7pm) in Game 5 of the 2009-10 Brunswick News Rivalry Cup Challenge.

"We're really looking forward to Saturday's double header," says Vito's Head Coach Jeff LeBlanc. "The Saint John - Moncton rivalry is second to none and we're excited to be a part of what will undoubtedly be an electrifying day-long event featuring some top-notch hockey."

With the purchase of a general admission seat to the Vito's - Flyers game ($5), fans will receive a complimentary voucher redeemable for a $6 upper bowl ticket to the Sea Dogs - Wildcats game (Section 7, 8, or 9 only). Fans wishing to attend this special event can purchase tickets at the Sea Dogs' office (2nd Floor, Harbour Station, 657-3647) today and tomorrow.
