February 18, 2009 - Central Hockey League (CHL)
Arizona Sundogs News Release
PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. - In celebration of their affiliation with NHL parent club the Phoenix Coyotes, the Arizona Sundogs of the Central Hockey League announced Wednesday that they will wear Coyotes themed uniforms on Friday, Feb. 20 as they take on the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs.
The third of four specialty jersey nights to benefit The Arizona Sundogs Foundation and its six 'Team Up For Hope' partners this season, the uniform design replicates the Coyotes' alternate black jersey, introduced earlier this season.
The jerseys, which will remain unseen until Friday's pregame warm-ups, will carry the Sundogs primary 'S' logo on the chest of the jersey in place of the full-body, leaping coyote emblem. The classic Coyotes crest and PHX logo will be displayed on the shoulders of the jerseys.
The game-worn jerseys will be auctioned off immediately after the game in sections 209 and 210. All proceeds benefit The Arizona Sundogs Foundation and its six 'Team Up For Hope' partners.
The Sundogs collected $18,700 for charity in the first specialty jersey auction of the season on Dec. 19. In nine specialty jersey auctions in the franchise's first two-and-a-half years, the Club has raised nearly $250,000 for non-profit agencies throughout Northern Arizona.
Phoenix Coyotes mascot Howler will also be in attendance Friday night as the Sundogs celebrate their affiliation with the NHL club.
Friday's game against the Mudbugs is set for 7:05pm. Tickets start at just $14 and are available by phone at 1-866-4-GET-TIX (1-866-443-8849), online at www.gettix.net and in person at the Tim's Toyota Center Box Office. For more information, contact the Arizona Sundogs at (928) 772-5555.
