SILVERBACKS 3rd ANNUAL SEASON KICKOFF EVENT ANNOUNCED
 
For Immediate Release                          August 6, 2014
 
Salmon Arm, BC – The Salmon Arm Silverbacks Junior ‘A’ Hockey Club invites the community of Salmon Arm to a Silverbacks 3rd Annual Season Kickoff at City Hall on Thursday, August 21 from 5-7 pm.  Our invitation extends out to the community of Salmon Arm as well as our fans, army of volunteers, corporate sponsors, billet families and anyone thinking of being involved with our team this year.

The Silverbacks 3rd Annual Season Kickoff is an opportunity to gather for a family bbq (by donation), enjoy a meet and greet with our players and staff, and will be followed by a town hall style meeting.

Our beloved team mascot Kong will be handing out team swag and on hand for photo ops with the kids. As well, players will be available for autographs and fans will be given the opportunity to tour the team bus, buy season tickets, and sign up to join the Silverbacks army of volunteers.  

We will also have information on hand for families considering billeting a player this year. Billet families are still needed!

We’re very excited to have the Apple Auto Glass dunk tank that will host our very own Mayor Nancy Cooper, the Silverbacks GM Troy Mick, Head Coach Brandon West and others who will brave the tank to raise money for the Silverbacks Scholarship Fund. Donate and dunk!

“We are in for a very exciting year. We’ve stepped up our game on and off the ice with a great team of exceptional players, skilled staff and our game day show factor. This is the community’s opportunity to embrace the spirit of our new slogan – Our Team. Our Town. Our Game. After the outdoor family bbq and meet and greet, we’ll head inside for a town hall style meeting to give attendees an opportunity to be a part of the unveiling of some exciting game day news, meet the new staff and participate in a question and answer time.”
