Grand Rapids Griffins News Release
Grand Rapids, Mich. - The Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League on Friday announced that two road games against the Utah Grizzlies, previously scheduled to be televised live in West Michigan on WXSP-TV, have been dropped from the team's broadcast schedule.
WXSP was to carry the games at The "E" Center on Saturday, Jan. 31 and Friday, March 26 via a feed from Fox Sports Net Rocky Mountain, but the Grizzlies and the network were unable to come to terms on a broadcast agreement.
