Connecticut Whale News Release
HARTFORD, October 1, 2011: Whalers Sports & Entertainment president and COO Howard Baldwin, Jr. announced today that tonight's scheduled "Whale Blue & Green Block Party" Season Face-off event has been postponed due to inclement weather.
The Whale Face-off had been set for tonight from 6:00 to 9:00 PM at Blue Back Square in West Hartford.
"We are sad to have to call things off for tonight," Baldwin, Jr. said, "but it being an outdoor event, we didn't feel it was fair to ask our loyal fans, and our team and coaches, to be outdoors for several hours on what is predicted to be a damp and chilly night. We hope fans will take the opportunity to get an up-close look at the Whale players on the ice at our final preseason game Sunday afternoon at Champions Skating Center, and be a part of the excitement at our first Whale home opener October 15 at the XL Center."
The Whale's wrap up their preseason action tomorrow, Sunday, October 2, against the Worcester Sharks at Champions Skating Center, which is located at 6 Progress Dr. in Cromwell, CT. That game will face off at 2:00, and a $5 admission charge will benefit Junior Wolf Pack youth hockey.
The Whale's regular-season home opener is coming up Saturday, October 15, a GEICO Connecticut Cup game vs. the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. Tickets to that game, and all 2011-12 Whale home games, are on sale now at the Public Power Ticket Office at the XL Center, as well as on-line at www.ctwhale.com and through TicketMaster Charge-by-phone at 1-800-745-3000.
