New Year





Sunday January 20th: 

Hello, I know it's already almost the end of January, so it's a little late, but I hope that everyone had a Wonderful Holiday season and I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year.  

Last Sunday January 13th, I covered the Albany Devils - Bridgeport Sound Tigers American Hockey League game at the Historic Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Here is the link: http://insidehockey.com/photo-gallery-bridgeport-vs-albany-11313  Bridgeport won 5-4, it was a very exciting game.

The Albany Devils have only two more games at the Boardwalk Hall, so come out and show your support. If we want hockey to come back to Atlantic City than we need to come out and pack the Hall. For many I understand, it's the Devils and your a Flyers fan. Well the Flyers are not moving out of Philly anytime soon and the Phantoms are waiting on their new building to be finished in Allentown. So why not just be a hockey fan and enjoy a game, by coming out and showing support we just might land a hockey team in AC once again. I for one really enjoyed going to the Boardwalk Bullies games from 2001-2005, but it was a lack of support that sent them packing off to Stockton CA. To be able to possibly land an AHL team right here in our backyards would just be fantastic. To be able to see future NHL players for a fraction of the cost would be a blessing for most of us. AHL ticket prices in AC range from $16 to $26, and $26 has you in the first two rows. The cheapest seat at a Flyers game is somewhere in the neighborhood of $80 give or take I believe. That's for one ticket in the upper bowl. That's alot of coin my friends, I'll continue to support minor league hockey and have just as much fun. Oh and yes it's nice that the NHL season began yesterday, it's about time. The Lockout should have been resolved a long time ago, but I for one am very happy that the lockout is over.   GAME ON!!!!!

Albany Devils remaining schedule in Atlantic City:

Sunday January 20th vs Adirondack Phantoms 4:00 pm
Sunday February 24th vs Hershey Bears 4:00 pm
