Edmonton Eskimos

Hamilton, Ontario – The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are excited to announce that they will hold their first annual Tiger-Cats Kick-Off Bash at Hamilton Place on Wednesday, May 9th.

“We want to give our fans an opportunity to hear about all of the exciting happenings in the world of the Ticats since the end of last season,” said caretaker Bob Young. “It’s our fan’s chance to ask questions, talk to our players and staff and get involved with the organization.”

Since the conclusion of the 2006 CFL season, the Tiger-Cats have been busy. With the addition of a new coaching staff, new players, a new team president, and a new office, there are many questions that Ticats fans may have. This state of the franchise style event is designed to give season ticket holders and all fans an opportunity to ask Ticats management, coaching staff and players any question that they may have.

Caretaker Bob Young will be joined by Team President Scott Mitchell, General Manager Marcel Desjardins and Head Coach Charlie Taaffe. Special appearances will be made by a series of Ticats players.

“We designed this event to open the lines of communications between our organization, our fans and the Hamilton community,” said team president Scott Mitchell. “Throughout this team’s history our fans have always been what has made the Ticats a great organization and we appreciate their continued support. I strongly urge all of our fans to come out on Wednesday, May 9th and be part of the this inaugural event.”

Be sure to be part of it all and join the Ticats for their first Ticats Kick-Off Bash. Call 905-547-2287 for more information or visit www.ticats.ca
