The Great Skate

[wingchickinGR 0]

Does anybody know what times the players will be skating this weekend? I have every intention of making this my third straight year of going, but I would really like to know who is skating and when...

I know Griff starts the whole thing at 10 and Matt Ellis follows at 11 (according to Bob Kaser anyways). Everything after that is a mystery.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Hopefully I see a few of you Griffin faithfuls out skating Saturday/Sunday.

Thanks,

Becky

Here is some info on this year's Great Skate. Look about half way down the page. They will have a raffle, free refreshments, fire pits, and a warming tent. It doesn't say anything about when each player will appear. I'll fire off an e-mail to the Griffins and see if I get a reply.

I contacted Randy Cleves, the Griffins Public Relations Director, and he said they will post this information tomorrow on griffinshockey.com.

Thanks for all of your help. I've been checking griffinshockey.com daily and haven't seen any updates. I'll definitely be checking tomorrow for the schedule.

Thanks. I saw that yesterday when they posted it online. I'm kind of disappointed that the coaches (not that I have anything against Ireland or Paek) are skating 2-6 because I tend to go to the Great Skate during those obscenely early hours. Looks like I'm going a bit earlier than that and then later on Sunday.
