Kyle Beach Bobblehead Night - Wednesday vs Spokane

As noted above, the first 1,000 fans through the main doors Wednesday evening will receive a limited edition Kyle Beach bobblehead, courtesy of Abbey Carpet and Flooring! This is our fifth and final bobblehead night this season.

In order to accommodate as many fans as possible, the Everett Silvertips Hockey Club has outlined the following procedures for the bobblehead doll giveaway nights.

We are aware that the demand for the dolls may exceed the number of dolls available and the organization has tried to determine a way to distribute the dolls in a way that is fair for all of our loyal fans. Only 1,000 dolls of each player have been produced. Once the dolls have been distributed, they are gone.

*First 1,000 fans through the Main Gate (corner of Hewitt and Oakes Avenue) will receive a bobblehead doll ticket. The bearer of the ticket may exchange it for one bobblehead. There will be one line for bobblehead distribution. The line will form on Hewitt Ave just below the Comcast Arena Flag Pole and extend toward Broadway Ave. This will be the only line that will be allowed to form. There will be no line on Oakes Ave. If you do not want a bobblehead please use the South East Entrance for admittance.

*One certificate will be issued per person no matter how many game tickets a fan may possess.

*Certificate must be redeemed at the day of the game. A bobblehead doll distribution center will be located near the View Lounge. Fans must redeem the certificate at the designated location prior to the start of the game.

*Main gates open one hour prior to the game. Bobblehead doll tickets will not be issued at any other location in the building.

*The Club Lounge which opens 1.5 hours prior to the game opening will NOT have bobblehead doll tickets issued at their private entrance. The Wall St. entrance will NOT have bobblehead doll tickets issued.

*Each bobblehead doll is individually boxed and protected with Styrofoam. We request that fans wait until they get home to open their bobblehead doll to help keep Comcast Arena clean.

*The Silvertips will not be holding any dolls back for replacement purposes.

Tri-City Americans Offering Silvertips Fans Ticket Discounts

Because we've seen a variety of Americans jerseys in the crowd at Comcast Arena and have heard cowbells ringing throughout the year at the Toyota Center, the Everett Silvertips and Tri- City Americans are partnering up to offer fans of the opposing teams a major discount on tickets purchased to road games.

For Silvertips fans traveling to Kennewick for the game at the Toyota Center on Friday, February 20th, tickets that are ordinarily $20 will be marked down to just $13. To take advantage of this special offer, tickets need to be ordered directly from Amy Bewlay within the Americans' front office by calling (509) 737-3772 or via email at abewlay@amshockey.com.

We know the Tri-City fans will be heading west when the rivalry resumes in Everett next weekend, so we hope to see a ton of green and white in the Toyota Center stands when the 'Tips take on the Ams on February 20th!
