Warriors...Come Out To Play
Published on February 9, 2010 under Western Hockey League (WHL)
Spokane Chiefs News Release
Wednesday night the Spokane Chiefs welcome the sixth and final team from the Eastern Conference when the Moose Jaw Warriors visit the Spokane Arena.
Every Wednesday, the Chiefs are teaming up with TicketsWest and 103.9 The Bob to hand out a special collector-s series Chiefs player magnet celebrating our 25th Anniversary. This season the Chiefs will feature two players on the magnet, one from this season along with a former player who made an impact on the Chiefs first 25 years in the WHL. The first 1,000 fans through the gates (and all full season ticket holders) receive a free player magnet at every Wednesday home game.
The Spokane Chiefs will host Moose Jaw in their first trip to the Arena since January 4th, 2008, a 5-4 shootout win by Spokane. The Chiefs were 1-7 on the power play and 5-6 on the penalty. Last year, Levko Koper had two goals and Mitch Whal had three points in last year-s 6-2 Spokane win in Moose Jaw. Stefan Ulmer also had a goal and an assist. In their last 15 games against Moose Jaw, the Chiefs are 8-4 with three ties. Spokane is 2-3 against the East Division this year with Moose Jaw being the final of the six teams to visit the Arena.
BUCK NIGHT - TRI-CITY SATURDAY NIGHT
Catch two games for the price of one, and in doing so help a great cause. Saturday night the Spokane Chiefs will host the Tri-City Americans on Buck Night presented by Coca-Cola and 92.9 ZZU. Prior to the game, the game the Spokane Police Department will play against the Sheriff-s Office in the Spokane Arena to benefit the surviving children of the four Lakewood Police Department officers that were killed in the line of duty.
This is the fourth discounted concession night of the year. Chiefs fans will enjoy $1 Coca-Cola products, $1 Hot Dogs and $1 Popcorn all night long courtesy of Coca-Cola! Bring your appetite for great hockey and great food, and enjoy the season-s best food prices.
The Chiefs have won the last two meetings on the year between the two and are 4-3 on the season against Tri-City. Tyler Johnson had a goal and assist in the Chiefs 2-1 win on January 9th the last time the Americans were in Spokane.
Admittance to the law enforcement benefit game at 5:00 is free with a ticket to the Spokane Chiefs game later that night versus the Tri-City Americans at 7:00pm. The Spokane Chiefs will be holding a silent auction that night with all proceeds going to this cause. Donations will also be accepted during the Chiefs game at the Law Enforcement tables on the concourse. Members of the Lakewood Police Department will be present for both the benefit game and the Chiefs game. A pre-game ceremony will be conducted prior to the Chiefs game to recognize the families of the fallen officers.
Anyone wishing to attend may park in the arena lot and enter at the southeast corner of the arena, near the Spokane Chiefs Ticket Office. Fans can come early to see the law enforcement game at 5:00pm and remain for the 7:00pm Spokane Chiefs game vs. the Tri-City Americans. Your ticket to the Chiefs game gains you access to the Law Enforcement game at 5:00pm. To purchase tickets for these two events please call 509-535-Puck or 509-328-0450 and mention you are attending both events.
