SURREY – The Eagles have a busy weekend ahead of them with three games in three nights, all against the divisional rivals: first a home-and-home series with Chilliwack, then a Sunday afternoon clash with Prince George. Still looking for their first win of the season, the new-look Eagles hope to feed off the crowd’s energy in their home opener tonight, which is nearly sold out!
The weekend will be full of festivities as tonight’s home-opener will feature bouncy castles, balloon animals, face-painting and of course great entertainment on the ice. The first 1000 fans in the gate will also receive a free magnetic season schedule. After both home games there will be opportunities to get autographs and chat with players, and on Sunday there will a post-game skate with the Eagles.
This evening’s contest begins at 7:11PM and Sunday’s game will commence at 4PM. In between the home games the Eagles will once again visit Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre to face off against the Chiefs on Saturday for a 7PM puck drop.
Bring the whole family and experience the dawn of a new era! Call or e-mail now and claim your tickets: info@surreyeagles.ca or 604-531-GOAL (4625).
