GRAND RAGGIDY ROLLER GIRLS and GRIFFINS HOCKEY!
On December 4th, two of the best things on skates in West Michigan will converge on Van Andel Arena! Join your favorite roller girls, the Grand Raggidy Roller Girls in the stands, as the Grand Rapids Griffins‘ host the Rockford Icehogs. So get ready to hoot and holler and grab a dog and some beers for a dollar with The Grand Raggidy Roller Girls and watch some great Griffins Hockey!
To make the night even better (Can it really get better?), if you buy a $13 ticket from your Grand Raggidy Roller Girls, you’ll get a chance to sit in sections 207/208. What makes these sections so intriguing? Its where your Grand Raggidy Roller Girls will be sitting (or more likely standing) as they cheer on their favorite hockey team-the Griffs. And you’ll get to watch as between periods the Grand Raggidy Roller Girls get out onto the ice to promote the only sport as tough as hockey-roller derby-and the only sports team in western Michigan as tough as the Griffins-your Grand Raggidy Roller Girls. Also, everyone who purchases a ticket from Grand Raggidy will get a chance to enter a drawing for free stuff including a chance at the Grand Prize, bubble hockey game. At least one person from the Grand Raggidy group is guaranteed to win!
Finally, there’s one more thing to make this night the best night of our long winter (Okay, not better than a roller derby bout, but darn close.), you can buy a blue ($1) or green ($3) puck from your Grand Raggidy Roller Girls. Purchasing these lucky pucks is your chance to participate in Throw for Dough and possibly win $5,000.
Van Andel Arena doors open at 6:00 p.m. and hockey action starts at 7:00 p.m. as the Grand Rapids Griffins take on the Rockford Icehogs.
Ticket prices are $13 and can be purchased by calling 616-752-8475 or by emailing the Grand Raggidy Roller Girls at contact@grandraggidyrollergirls.com. But make sure you buy your tickets from a Roller Girl as all money raised from ticket sales and Throw for Dough sales goes to support Grand Raggidy.
