The Elmira Jackals kick off their 2009-2010 season on Friday, October 16with the Elmira Jackals Block Party, which begins at 5 PM outside First Arena.
As the Jackals celebrate their tenth season, one of the main events at the Block Party will be the “Ten Years in the Twin Tiers” commemorative photo giveaway, serving as the beginning of a year-long celebration for the team’s decade in Elmira.
The 2009-2010 Jackals players will enter in style, arriving in limousines provided by Silk Limousine and walking into First Arena on a red carpet, giving fans an up-close view of the Jackals immediately before the drop of the puck.
“We are excited to start our tenth season of Jackals hockey Friday night. Our great fans will get to see the players firsthand as they arrive by limousine,” Elmira Jackals General Manager Robbie S. Nichols said.
