Whale Watch Newsletter Oct. 2010

We have heard from our friends in Hartford:

After the Hartford Wolf Pack (Soon to be the CT Whale) missed the playoffs for the first time in their 13-year history last season, several players did some serious soul-searching among themselves.

Sure there had been exit meetings with general manager Jim Schoenfeld, head coach Ken Gernander and assistants J.J. Daigneault and Pat Boller, but the core players needed to figure out exactly what went wrong so it wouldn't be repeated.

So after captain Dane Byers, fellow forwards Dale Weise, Brodie Dupont and Kris Newbury and goalie Chad Johnson conferred, they came away with a motto for this season, which begins Saturday night at the XL Center against the Charlotte Checkers.

Stick together, stick to the game plan, have success.

Bob Crawford to Continue as the "Voice" of Wolf Pack/Whale

Bob Crawford has agreed to remain the play-by-play announcer and public relations director for the Wolf Pack/Connecticut Whale. The Chicago native has broadcast for 22 years in the AHL, the last 13 with the Wolf Pack. He previously worked for the Binghamton Rangers, Providence Bruins and Adirondack Red Wings, including two Calder Cups. He began his career on the student radio station at Harvard.

"Bob is a real fan favorite and one of the best broadcasters in the business," said Howard Baldwin, Whalers Sports and Entertainment chairman Howard Baldwin. "Bob's return was one of our main priorities upon taking over management control of the Wolf Pack. We are looking forward to working with him this season and beyond."

TICKET INFORMATION

A large walkup is expected for the start of "A Whale of a Season" on Saturday night, so Wolf Pack officials are encouraging fans to arrive early so there won't be a major logjam at the box office. The XL Center atrium will open at 5:30 p.m., the doors at 6. The walkup could be large because fans can get tickets to Saturday night's game and Sunday's 3 p.m. game against the Worcester Sharks for $15. Plus, the first 5,000 fans to the opener receive a static cling schedule courtesy of "Click It Or Ticket." Tickets for home games are available at the XL Center box office, through Ticketmaster charge-by-phone at 1-800-745-3000 and on-line at www.hartfordwolfpack.com. For ticket packages, group sales and VIP packages, call 860-728-3366.

We can't wait to share the excitement of the 2010-2011 Hartford Wolf Pack/ CT Whale season with the loyal fans of Hartford hockey. After all, "it's all about hockey!" We'll see you at the game!

Sincerely,

HOWARD BALDWIN

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
