Popular Giveaways, Promotions Still Ahead in February
Feb 10, 2020
Two of the season’s biggest weekends at Webster Bank Arena are right around the corner as the Bridgeport Islanders power through February.
Hockey Weekend in Connecticut (Feb. 22-23) and Marvel Night (Feb. 29) are still ahead this month, packed with popular giveaway items, character meet-and-greets, and a history-making event in the hockey world.
Hockey Weekend in Connecticut returns for its second straight season and the Sound Tigers have packed even more excitement into this year’s two-day event. On Saturday, Feb. 22, the first 1,000 kids 12 and younger will receive a free Sound Tigers youth jersey presented by JRC Transportation - the most popular giveaway item last season. Doors open at 6 p.m.
In addition, the Sound Tigers will host the first-ever doubleheader between the American Hockey League and National Women’s Hockey League (NWHL). Some of the best female hockey players in the country will take the ice as the Connecticut Whale face the Boston Pride at 2 p.m. prior to the Sound Tigers and Hershey Bears contest at 7 p.m. Just $25 gets you a ticket to both games, plus stick around following the NWHL game for a free autograph session with the entire Whale team.

Less than 24 hours later, the first 2,500 fans will receive a bobblehead of Sound Tigers forward Steve Bernier, courtesy of Newtown Savings Bank. Doors open at 2 p.m. prior to Bridgeport’s matinee matchup against the Hartford Wolf Pack at 3 p.m. Bernier is a veteran of 637 National Hockey League games and currently ranks fifth on the Sound Tigers’ all-time goal-scoring list (63).

Marvel Night and Scout Night round out the month on Feb. 29. Meet Spider-Man, Hulk, Black Widow and Thor throughout the evening as the Sound Tigers battle the Hartford Wolf Pack.
