1 June 2011
The Elmira Jackals announced their schedule for the 2011-2012 season on Wednesday.
The Jackals kick off the upcoming season at First Arena on Friday, Oct. 14 at 7:35 p.m. against the Trenton Devils. Elmira has won each of its first four season openers at First Arena since joining the ECHL in 2007. The Jackals are also 4-0 in ECHL action in their first road game of each season and will attempt to extend that streak in Wheeling on Saturday, Oct. 22.
Elmira will play 12 home games on Fridays, 14 on Saturdays, four on Sundays and four on Wednesdays. The Jackals will play a special day-after-Christmas home game on Monday, Dec. 26 and will celebrate Valentine's Day on Tuesday, Feb. 14 with a home game as well. Elmira will play each Eastern Conference team at least one time at First Arena this upcoming year.
The ECHL will once again feature 20 teams in the 2011-2012 campaign, up one from this past season. The Chicago Express will become the Eastern Conference's 12th team, while the Colorado Eagles, who were welcomed to the league on Tuesday, will replace Victoria in the Western Conference after the Salmon Kings relinquished their ECHL membership following this past season.
Individual game tickets will be priced at $24 (restaurant), $18 (center ice), $14 (blue zone), and $12 (red zone) and will go on sale in September.
