HARTFORD, February 23, 2011: Whalers Sports and Entertainment president and COO Howard Baldwin Jr. announced today a “Harvest-Properties.com Whale Bowl Appreciation Night” promotion for the Connecticut Whale’s next home game at the XL Center, which is next Wednesday, March 2 against the Springfield Falcons.
Whale Bowl ticket purchasers who present their Harvest-Properties.com Whale Bowl ticket stub at the XL Center ticket office can purchase one $19 or $12 ticket for the March 2 Whale game, and receive a second of equal or lesser value free. On top of that, the Whale will add a coupon for 15% off Harvest-Properties.com Whale Bowl merchandise for the night of March 2.
“We would sincerely like to thank all of the fans who bought tickets for Harvest-Properties.com Whale Bowl as part of the 2011 Harvest-Properties.com Hockey Fest held at Rentschler Field,” Baldwin, Jr. said. “Whale fans helped to set a new AHL attendance record on February 19, braving the frigid elements in order to do so, and we are deeply grateful for all of their support of this historic event.”
The Harvest-Properties.com Whale Bowl drew an all-time AHL high of 21,673 to Rentschler Field this past Saturday, as the Whale lost a 5-4 shootout thriller to the Providence Bruins, following a celebration of some of the great names in Connecticut hockey history, in a Whalers legends vs. Boston Bruins legends game.
