Utah Grizzlies News Release
West Valley City, Utah - The Utah Grizzlies announced today that the 2009-2010 season will be themed: "Utah Grizzlies Hockey: The Ultimate Experience."
"We feel that there is no local experience comparable to attending a Grizzlies game at the E-Center," said Vice President Jared Youngman. "From the time a fan steps foot onto E-Center property, we feel with our venue, concessions, entertainment, exciting hockey and staff it is an experience that will not be forgotten and become a favorite pastime; if it isn't already."
The Grizzlies will announce their complete 2009-2010 promotional schedule next Monday. The home opening weekend for the Grizzlies is Friday and Saturday, October 23 and 24 when they will welcome the Idaho Steelheads to the E-Center.
Utah opens the preseason Friday, October 9 at the Eccles Ice Center in Logan. Tickets are available for $7 and can be purchased at www.utahgrizzlies.com.
Utah enters their fifth year in the ECHL and their third-straight season as an affiliate of the New York Islanders. On September 16, 2009 the Grizzlies announced that they will also be adding up to four prospects this season from the Calgary Flames. Head Coach Kevin Colley returns to the Utah bench this upcoming season after signing a multi-year contract extension on April 20, 2009. Colley, who at the age of 30 is the youngest coach in the ECHL, led the Grizzlies to the playoffs for the third time in four years during his rookie head coaching campaign.
