Syracuse Crunch News Release


Syracuse, NY (July 8, 2010) - The Syracuse Crunch announced today that the American Hockey League has named Crunch President and C.E.O. Howard Dolgon this year's recipient of the James C. Hendy Memorial Award as the league's outstanding executive.

The announcement came Wednesday evening at a gala reception during the league's annual meeting of the Board of Governors at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

Dolgon's passion and creativity were the driving forces behind the record-setting Mirabito Outdoor Classic, the first outdoor game in AHL history which was hosted by the Crunch in February. His work with the state and county governments as well as with corporate partners helped ensure the event's success and led to a great deal of exposure for the team and the American Hockey League.

Since 1994, Dolgon's leadership has kept the Crunch an integral member of the Syracuse community and has provided tremendous stability with the longest current tenure of any independently-owned franchise in the AHL.

The James C. Hendy Award is named for the late Jim Hendy, a Hockey Hall of Famer and long-time statistician and historian for the AHL who won four Calder Cups as general manager of the original Cleveland Barons.

Season tickets for the 2010-11 season are now on sale and can be purchased by calling the Crunch office at (315) 473- 4444, or by stopping by the Crunch office in the War Memorial at Oncenter, located at 800 South State Street in downtown Syracuse.
