The Stockton Thunder, a two time recipient of the ECHL “Award of Excellence,” today announced its full calendar of promotions, giveaways and partner nights for the 2013-14 season at Stockton Arena.
“Opening Night” on Oct. 19 launches the hockey season, highlighted by the Thunder lifting its 2012-13 Western Conference championship banner from the rafters of Stockton Arena. The first 5,000 fans in attendance will receive a championship poster.
Signature promotion games of “Thunder Goes Pink VIII” and Military Appreciation Weekend will have Thunder specialty jerseys available to fans in attendance via live “jersey off our back” auctions immediately following the final game of each promotion. Additional jerseys will also be available during silent auctions and raffle promotions throughout both events.
“Fan Appreciation Night” closes out the regular season calendar on Apr. 12, featured as a Fan/Group Appreciation Night with many prizes awarded to all in attendance. The first 2,000 fans in attendance will receive a gold Thunder rally towel.
Family Day presented by Sutter Gould Medical Foundation returns for all Sunday (4:00 p.m.) and Wednesday (7:00 p.m.) games on the home calendar, offering fans four tickets, hot dogs and soft drinks for $34, along with a free Thunder cap (when purchased at www.StocktonThunder.com).
