Township of Langley, BC, Monday, September 10, 2012: The Langley Rivermen will be out in the community starting tomorrow (Tuesday, September 11) distributing free season tickets to all the members of Langley Minor Hockey for their upcoming 2012-2013 BCHL hockey season.
This year’s passes are slightly revised from last season in that instead of having to redeem at the LEC Ticket Office, LMHA players can have their passes scanned in at Gate 2 or Gate 3 to access the game.
“We’re excited about the new year and our new roster,” Rivermen Head Coach Bobby Henderson noted following a 3 out of 4 point weekend at the BCHL Showcase, “we hope the LMHA kids can come out in full force and get behind this team with the goal of one day being on our roster themselves.”
There is one free ticket for every registered Langley Minor Hockey player. The tickets are valid for every Langley Rivermen home game at the Langley Events Centre and need to be show upon entry into the game. Approximate value of all the tickets being provided to Langley Minor Hockey players is $151,000.00 (based on a student ticket at $168 per season ticket and 900 registered LMHA players)
The Rivermen will be at the following locations during the noted times distributing tickets:
Tuesday, September 11 & 18
6:30PM – 8:30PM @ George Preston Centre (Pee Wee)
4:45PM – 8:45PM @ Twin Rinks (Atom, Bantam, Midget)
