versus




















Hockey fans all over the tri-state area are ecstatic about the announcement that The 3rd Annual charity hockey game between the Bomber Hockey Club and NJ Devil Alumni to benefit the Montville Educational Foundation will be held on Sunday February 10th 2008 @ 1:15pm.

Negotiations between the two clubs opened months ago but intensified early last week as representives from the Bomber Hockey Club worked out the final details with the Devil Alumni into the early morning hours on Thursday. Some of the sticking points in the discussions apparantly dealt with the fact the Bombers came so close to upsetting the Devil squad in their last meeting, losing 10-9. The Devil Alumni wanted the ability to have more than one Hall of Fame player on their roster if they so desired. This item was promptly agreed to by the Bomber representatives and final arrangements were made.

At the conclusion of the meetings, Bomber VP Mike Rosenberg emerged and proudly announced "Game on!!" Then General Manager Bill Auld was quoted as saying "It is another proud day for the most storied franchise in NJ adult ice hockey history."

Mr. Auld also announced that the venue for this historic contest will be moved from its previous home at the Mennen Arena to the recently renovated 2500 seat Richard J.Codey-South Mountain Arena in West Orange. Auld declared "This location will bring our game to a new fan base and we will be able to showcase our product in a very historic arena. Roseneberg added "The renovations they have done there are extraordinary."

Tickets go on sale shortly and will be available from the Codey Arena Box office, the Bomber Hockey Club and the Montville Educational Foundation.
