Expectations are high across the city as a veteran-laden Dauphin Kings squad embarks on a new season.
Kings' Director of Business Operations Christian Laughland (lock-land) says that optimism has been reflected in season ticket sales, which have been strong so far.
"People have been wondering if you can still get (season tickets). They are still available by coming down to (Credit Union Place) and asking for a sheet. We will give you one and you can sign up, write down the seats that you want and then pay for them all at the ticket office. Just the overall buzz about the hockey club has been really good this year so it is exciting."
Laughland says they will have a number of special promotional events throughout the season, including Ag Appreciation night in November, hockey card night and Tractor Lotto draw games in December, and the ever popular Ukrainian night in January.
