The Silvertips Radio Show Returns Tonight with Jon Rosen and Doug Soetaert

With the hours ticking down before the start of the regular season, you're going to want to load up on all the Silvertips information you can possibly find. From 6:00 to 7:00 pm this evening, the Silvertips Radio Show returns to Sporty's Beef and Brew as we kick off the 2008-09 season featuring a chat with the boss, Doug Soetaert. Doug, along with host Jon Rosen, will break down the talent on this year's Silvertips roster and take calls from fans.

Having been the architect for the Silvertips' continued success throughout the five- year history of the club, Soetaert, Everett's Vice President and General Manager, will offer insight that can be found nowhere else but the Silvertips Radio Show. If you're wondering about a particular Silvertips prospect, or if you want to learn about the lofty goals that Doug and Head Coach John Becanic have set for this year's club, we hope you'll be able to join Doug, Jon, and the Silvertips family at Sporty's Beef and Brew, located at 6503 Evergreen Way in Everett.

If you are unable to join us tonight, we hope you'll be able to listen live on North Sound 1380 AM, or www.northsound1380.com.

First Game of the Season: Friday at Kamloops

For the third time in six years, the Silvertips will travel up the Coquihalla Highway to open the season at Kamloops' Interior Savings Centre. The puck will drop at 7:05 pm, with radio coverage beginning at 6:30 pm with the J.P. Wealth Management Pre-Game Show on North Sound 1380. If you're not joining the traveling contingent to the game, you can watch it live at Sporty's Beef and Brew at 6503 Evergreen Way in Everett. All-you-can-eat Mahi Mahi fish and chips will be featured for just $9.95, while the game will be shown on the large projection screen. All road games all season long will be featured on Sporty's big screen. Remember - while the 'Tips are on the road, Sporty's is your home!

Home Opener: Saturday, September 20th vs Vancouver

Saturday, September 20th promises to be an exciting day in Snohomish County as the Silvertips will be opening up the home portion of their schedule by playing host to the rival Vancouver Giants. The first 5,000 fans in attendance will receive the 2008-09 Lamoureux Real Estate magnet schedule, while everyone will get a first look (and listen!) of the revamped Silvertips game night experience. For tickets, you can either call the front office at (425) 252-5100, visit the front office (located at the corner of Hewitt and Lombard), visit the arena box office (Hewitt and Oakes), or purchase them directly from www.everettsilvertips.com.

Season Ticket Holders: Pick Up Your Tickets!

We still have a large number of season tickets and ticket packages that have not yet been picked up at the Silvertips Front Office. If you're planning on catching this weekend's home opener against Vancouver and the rest of the exciting 2008-09 season, you're going to want to make it down to the front office by Saturday to be assured you don't miss a second of exciting WHL action! The front office is open from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM Monday-Friday and 10:00 AM-5:00 PM on Saturday game days.

Silvertips Block Party: This Saturday

Prior to the home opener on Saturday at 5:00 PM, the Comcast Arena at Everett will host a pre-game Fifth Anniversary Block Party at the Southeast doors and in the Ice Box. Fans can come early and enter the Block Party from the Southeast entrance located on Wall Street. The Block Party action will feature live music from Five Pound Hole and by DJ Johnny Emerald. Avid fans will be able to meet Lincoln, the famous Silvertips mascot, and win great prizes. Food, non-alcoholic beverages and libations will also be available at the Fifth Anniversary Block Party.

NEW SILVERTIPS WEBSITE AROUND THE CORNER!

www.everettsilvertips.com is undergoing a thorough reconstruction! We hope to have the new Silvertips website up and running later in the week. Make sure to check your email and Silvertips.com for more information on our beautiful new website. Our current site will continue to operate normally during the revamping.

Watch WHL Games from the Comfort of Your Own Computer

The 2008-09 Western Hockey League season is here, and you won't have to miss a moment of exiting hockey action with WHL WEB TV, which allows hockey fans to watch their favorite team in action live from their computer.

The WHL and its broadcast partner INSINC will carry all 792 WHL Regular-Season games during the 2008-09 season on WHL WEB TV, meaning fans won't have to miss a single goal, save or bone-crunching hit from their favorite team, whether at home or on the road.

"We are happy to be in a position, through our partnership with INSINC, to continue to broadcast all WHL games live on the internet. This service allows us to deliver every WHL game to our loyal fans, parents and family members, media and scouts on a worldwide basis," commented WHL Commissioner Ron Robison.

All WHL Regular-Season games are available live on WHL WEB TV on a broadband pay-per-view basis with individual game, monthly pass and season pass packages available. Archived games are also available on WHL WEB TV. Fans can also take advantage of a Live and On-Demand package for all live and archived WHL games.

Silvertips fans last year purchased more WHL WEB TV packages than fans of any other team in the league. We hope that all the diehards out there continue this trend, and represent Everett as a mean, green hockey town. Remember, You're In Silvertips Country!
