From the Front Office October, 1997

The front office would like to welcome everyone back to the 4th season of hockey in the Capital City. We hope it's the best yet! We would like to thank the Fin-Atics in advance for all the wonderful things you'll be doing over this season. We've enjoyed last year and are looking forward to the events we know you have planned for this year.

If anyone is still looking to purchase tickets but can't make all 35 games in the regular season, check out the Power Play package. You may select 16 games (the 151 and last games are already selected) and guarantee your seat selection for play-off if you so choose.

Regardless, we have great things planned for this season and look forward to seeing all of you at the various functions and meetings.

We'd like to Hear the T-Sharks, Too

This is an important message for all Tiger Shark fans. As you may or may not be aware, the Tiger Sharks' radio broadcasts have moved to a different radio station this season. The games will now be broadcast on WTAL 105.7 FM. While these are excellent stations and we are grateful to them for broadcasting the games, the signal strength of these stations is significantly less than what Sharks fans had been used to with Mello 105. Fans in South Georgia and North and Northwest Florida could see a significant drop or a total loss of the radio signal.

Because of this the Tiger Sharks need your help in expanding the broadcast network. If you can think of a radio station in South Georgia or North Florida that could pick up the broadcasts, please spread the word among your fellow Sharks fans to call the station and let them know there is a demand for the Sharks on the radio. If you can find a station that shows some interest please contact Kyle Schultz at the Tiger Sharks office at 850-224-7700.
