Troy, OH – The Troy Bruins hockey team is proud to announce that they will partner with the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets to present the Blue Jackets Breakaway event at the 2009 Troy Strawberry Festival on Saturday, June 6 from Noon to 6 pm between Hobart Arena and the levy.
The Blue Jackets Breakaway traveling hockey promotional event hosted by the CBJ returns to Troy’s Strawberry Festival this year, in what has become an annual tradition. The Bruins, in their first community appearance since announcing the team last week, will be showcased with help from the Blue Jackets to the northern Miami Valley, giving them their first close look at the new hockey team.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to join forces with Ohio’s only National Hockey League franchise to promote the game of hockey, as well as give the community it’s first glimpse at what is coming this fall” noted Bruins VP of Communication & Broadcasting JT Szabo. No stranger to the Blue Jackets organization, Szabo spent a season as the broadcast voice of the Ohio Junior Blue Jackets of the USHL in 2006-2007, and maintains a positive relationship to a number of Jackets front office staff, including those overseeing the Breakaway event.
The breakaway event will take place on Saturday, June 6 from Noon till 6pm in the Hobart Arena parking lot next to the levy, and will include street hockey games, music, Blue Jackets and Bruins information and handouts, as well as a raffle for the very first Troy Bruins logoed jersey.
