Youngstown SteelHounds News Release


YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO - The Youngstown SteelHounds and General Manager Joe Gregory announced today that the start time for the Hounds game on Saturday, November 18th versus the Tulsa Oilers at the Chevrolet Centre has been pushed back to 8:05 PM (EST). The game was originally scheduled to start one hour earlier at the Hounds normal start time of 7:05 PM.

The gates will open on the 18th at the standard time of 6:00 PM (EST) and fans will be able to watch the second half of the Buckeye-Wolverine game on the Video Boards at the Chevrolet Centre.

The change in starting times was precipitated by the nation's number one college football team, the Ohio State Buckeyes, and their battle with the nation's number two rated team, the Michigan Wolverines, which is scheduled to kick-off at 3:30 PM (EST).

"Our fans demanded it and we responded," said Gregory. "The 'big' game this year is clearly one that will have the nation watching, not just the state of Ohio, and we wanted to make sure we acted responsibly as it relates to our fans and give them every opportunity to enjoy all that particular sports day has to offer. Pushing our start time back was really a no-brainer."

During the game the SteelHounds will be wearing special Ohio State Jerseys (pictured above) that will be auctioned off immediately following the game.

Tickets for all SteelHounds home games are available by calling (330) 747-PUCK (7825), by stopping by the Chevy Centre box office and online at www.gettix.net.
