Mississippi Sea Wolves News Release
BILOXI, MS - The Mississippi Sea Wolves announced on Monday that the team will present Hooks And Heels 2009 on Tuesday, January 6 at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum, an evening program that will showcase the game of hockey's hidden elements both on and off the ice to the teams' female fans.
"Hooks and Heels was a great success last season, and we knew it was something we'd want to bring back this year. Fans will be able to see how the team functions as a whole; from the equipment manager, athletic trainers and medical staff to the ice crew that keeps the playing surface at ideal conditions," stated Sea Wolves president Bill Yates. "We hope to build on the success of past events and continue to offer this experience in the future to fans looking to learn more about the game from a different perspective."
The evening will begin at 6:00 p.m. with a "pre-game meal" and meet-and-greet session with the Sea Wolves players and staff. At 6:30, participants will divide up into groups and begin cycling through seven stations that will highlight different aspects of the game of professional ice hockey. Participants will get to learn about conditioning and player medical treatment with Sea Wolves athletic trainer B.J. Leyser, a locker room tour with equipment questions answered by Sea Wolves players, a tour of the players lounge and a skate sharpening demonstration with Sea Wolves equipment manager Donny White, puck handling drills and shoot-and-score activities with the players, a Zamboni and ice-surface discussion with building engineers, and a radio broadcast session with Sea Wolves play-by-play man Leif Skodnick.
The cost of the evening is $30, and includes a t-shirt and refreshments. Fans can register at the Sea Wolves office at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum or by calling the team's office at 228.275.WOLF!
Mississippi's next home game is tomorrow at 10:05 a.m. against the Florida Everblades! Get your seats today by calling 228.275.WOLF!
