A big weekend is expected at the Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena as the Jamestown Jets host the Troy Bruins on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. This will mark the first time the two teams will face each other in the history of either franchise.
Jamestown earned three points last weekend in Wooster to help them creep up the Northern Junior Hockey League Standings. The Jets are currently in third place but trail the Bruins by only four points for second place behind Wooster. The Jets hope their comeback win will help them have momentum heading into their key matchup this weekend.
The Jets will host a pre-game ceremony to honor the Southwestern Trojans & Randolph Cardinals on their recent victory securing the 2009 NYS High School Football Championships in each of their respective divisions. The Southside Blue Devils will also be recognized for claiming the 2009 Jamestown Area Midget Football Championships earlier this year.
The ceremony will take place prior to the game on Saturday, December 12th at the Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena at 6:30 PM hosted by the Jamestown Jets and Cable 8 News Sports Anchor Don Heins. Immediately following the celebration, the Jamestown Jets will take on the Troy Bruins for the first time ever on Home Ice.
There will be a special presentation to honor Southwestern senior Quarterback Zack Sopak, Maple Grove senior Quarterback Chris Secky and Cassadaga Valley senior running back B.J. Monacelli. Sopak was the winner of the Connolly Cup on Saturday afternoon at Ilio DiPaulo’s restaurant and Secky and Monacelli were finalists for the award. The Connolly Cup is presented to most outstanding football player in Western New York.
The Jets are expecting a big crowd but tickets still remain for the Saturday game. All players and coaches will get free admission and other students can purchase tickets for only $5. Tickets can be purchased in advance by visiting the Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena box office or by visiting www.jamestownjets.com.
