HARTFORD, November 1, 2011: No Halloween? No power? The Connecticut Whale has announced today a special “Power Ghouls” Night home game this Friday, November 4 against the St. John’s Ice Caps, complete with an on-ice costume parade and a special buy-one-get-one-free ticket with costume.
“We hope your family is warm and safe until your power is restored. To help give Whale fans a brief respite we’re offering a place for your family to warm up, while enjoying the first-place Connecticut Whale,” said Howard Baldwin, Jr, President & COO, Whalers Sports & Entertainment. “With most towns postponing trick-or-treating activities because of the snowstorm, this will be an extra opportunity for fans of all ages to dress up and come out and have some fun.”
Friday night’s game will feature a Halloween costume parade on the ice during the first intermission, and prizes will be awarded for best kid’s costume and best adult’s costume. Also, fans who come in costume can take advantage of a buy-one-get-one-free offer on Upper Level tickets for Friday’s game. That discount is available for both kids’ and adults’ tickets, through the Public Power Ticket Office at the XL Center only.
“This the Whale’s only home game in a span of almost four weeks, so with the team off to a great start, we hope a lot of folks will want to join us at the XL Center for an enjoyable night,” Baldwin, Jr. said.
As a thank-you to Connecticut Light & Power workers, who have worked so exhaustively to remedy the power-outage problems around the state, CL&P employees who present their company ID at the Public Power Ticket Office at the XL Center will also be extended the buy-one-get-one-free offer on Upper Level tickets for Friday night.
