The Whale will host the North Division-leading Hamilton Bulldogs Friday night (7:00 PM faceoff) on Guida's Family Value Night and"City of New Britain Night", in a rare tilt with a Western Conference opponent.

Friday's game will feature a special appearance by ex-Hartford Wolf Pack favorites Todd Hall and Terry Virtue, two of the more significant names in the history of the franchise. Hall and Virtue will be meeting and greeting fans, and signing autographs, in the XL Center atrium from 6:00-7:00 PM and will also drop a ceremonial first puck.

Being a Friday night, this is a Guida's Family Value Night. Family Value packages start as low as $48 and include three tickets, three hot dogs or pizza slices, three sodas and a Whale souvenir. Guida's Family Value Night packs are available at the XL Center ticket office and on-line at www.ctwhale.com.

This is also "City of New Britain Night" at the XL Center. The New Britain Rock Cats' mascot, Rocky, will be on hand, and there will be an autograph session with a Rock Cats player, as well as a Rock Cats giveaway. Also, the New Britain High School Marching Band will perform the National Anthem and will also play before the game and during the first intermission.

Hamilton currently share first place in the AHL's North Division with Manitoba and hold a record of 41-24-12-1, good for 53 points.

8th ANNUAL "TIP-A-PLAYER" DINNER

SLATED FOR SUNDAY NIGHT

2011 Title Up for Grabs with Dupont in New York

by Bruce Berlet
Talk about a tough act to follow.
Yes, even Connecticut Whale wing Brodie Dupont admits he doesn't know what he can do for an encore as defending money-earning champion in the eighth "Tip-A-Player" Dinner and Sports Carnival at the XL Center on Sunday from 4-7 p.m.
Dupont put himself over the top when he agreed to allow several fans to clip and then shave his head as the coup de grace of the 2010 event, which raised $41,000 for Gaylord Specialty Healthcare at Gaylord Hospital in Wallingford.
"There probably won't be another shaving of the head, but I guess anything is possible," a smiling Dupont said Wednesday after a brisk, one-hour practice at the XL Center in Hartford. "I really don't have any story for this year. I'm just going to go in with an open mind like I did last year. It's one of those fun events that you actually look forward to. It's for a good cause, and I have a good time playing with some of those inflatable things.

"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!"
