DUBUQUE,
Iowa –If the Mayan Theory is correct, the world is set to end in just a matter
of days on December 21. While this theory likely happens to be another scare in
the nature of Y2K or the Zombie Apocalypse, the Dubuque Fighting Saints are
taking no chances, and have decided to throw one last bash…just in case…at
Saturday night’s game versus the Chicago Steel. With this evening being the
Fighting Saints last game prior to the Mayan Theory’s end date of December 21,
the Fighting Saints want to make sure that if the worst happens, that they go
out in style and with a grand celebration. With this, the Fighting Saints will
host the “Last Saints Game Ever,” on Saturday evening, with puck drop slated
for 7:05 p.m.
The
Fighting Saints hope the game Saturday not only provides fans one last time
watching their favorite team take the ice, but also provides a chance to
celebrate the world, as well as prepare for survival for the pending doomsday.
In-arena entertainment and the entire evening will focus around making sure
fans have had a chance to celebrate the great moment’s in the world, and
Fighting Saints history, as well provide tips and practice for continued
existence through what is said to be the end of the world.
"At
playoff time, coaches often inspire their players to 'Play like there's no
tomorrow,'" said Fighting Saints President Dan Lehv. "I think
this takes that to another level."
Just in
case the days are limited, there is no better way to spend the little time left
than with the ones you love. Saturday evening marks a TH Family Four Pack
Night. This special deal is good for four tickets, four drinks, and four slices
of Domino’s Pizza starting at just $48.
During the
second intermission, the Fighting Saints will host a Meteor Race, presented by
Radio Dubuque. Two contestants will take the ice for a battle of the survival
of the fittest. The two participants will be racing on the ice for food, water,
warmth, and will attempt to make it to shelter. While battling each other and
the clock, the contestants will have to dodge black Chuck-A-Puck meteors being
thrown at them. The first contestant to slide into the net serving as shelter
wins not only the race, but also the title of being the last man standing.
Breaks in
the action during the game will serve as a time to look back at the world’s
greatest moments, as well as celebrate the great moments in Fighting Saints
history, you know, just in case the worst does happen. Dubuque players will
also be asked to weigh in on what their “End of the World” destination would
be. A confessional booth will setup in the arena for fans to get anything off
their chest just in time prior to the December 21 doomsday. Music during the
game will be themed to the tune of celebrating, throwing a grand party, and
survival.
With the
possibility the world may end next week, the Fighting Saints have invited local
youth hockey players to take the ice during the game’s first intermission. Just
in case the world does end and these young players careers may be cut short,
the Fighting Saints want to make sure the youngsters have the thrill of a
lifetime by getting to play a game in front of the crowd at the Mystique
Community Ice Center.
Tickets
are available for the “Last Saints Game Ever,” by calling 563.583.6880 or online

home games after December 21…just in case.
