Erin Go Seals! The Seals are hoping the luck of the Irish will be with them today as they will be wearing special St. Patrick's Day Jerseys, sponsored by Renal Dynamics. Fans will have the chance to bid on the jerseys in a silent auction with the bid sheets located across from the merchandise stand (outside section 114). Bidding will stop at the START OF THE THIRD PERIOD. When the puck drops, the bidding stops. Then throughout the third period the successful bidders will have their names announced. They should report to the merchandise stand, to pay for their jerseys. After the game they will be escorted onto the ice, to meet the player, and receive their jersey from that player.
Next Up: The Seals embark on a three game road trip that will have them playing in Macon, Jacksonville, and Alabama, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, respectively. Their next home game is Thursday March 25th, at 7:05 p.m. also against the Manatees. All Seals games are available on the internet at www.IRN.FM.
