Thunderbirds, Ninety Nine Restaurant Announce Pre-Lim Partnership

The Thunderbirds are pleased to announce that Ninety Nine Restaurant & Pub are the proud sponsors of the 2016-17 Thunderbirds Youth Preliminary Series.  Once again this season, youth teams from across the region will have the opportunity to compete against each other before each Thunderbirds home game.  Through the sincere generosity of the Ninety Nine Restaurant & Pub, the youth experience this season will mirror that of their AHL heroes even more so than in previous years.

“We’re thrilled here at the Ninety Nine Restaurant to be sponsoring the Springfield Thunderbirds Hockey Team in their inaugural season as well as the Thunderbirds Youth Preliminary Series.  We’re very passionate about creating strong, long-term relationships within the communities we serve and are excited to support this great community driven event that provides such a unique, memorable experience for these young players” said Ninety Nine Restaurant & Pub President Charlie Noyes.

All fans are encouraged to arrive early and see some of the best youth hockey in the area, right here on the ice at the Mass Mutual Center.
