Tri-City Americans Toss a “Lifeline” to a Business Recovering from COVID-19 Closure

The Tri-City Americans will return to play at Toyota Center on Thursday, March 18th at 7:05 pm against the Portland Winterhawks. This will be the Americans first game in 372 days since playing on March 11th, 2020 here against the Kamloops Blazers.

Due to the pandemic, virtually no fans will be allowed currently to attend.

One area business will be selected and receive the complimentary advertising.

Businesses that were closed due to being ruled “non-essential” by the state may apply for this radio time. The applicants are requested to send an email to Craig West, Vice President of Sponsorship and Broadcasting of the club to cwest@amshockey.com. Emails will be considered through Sunday, March 21st deadline at 11:59 pm.
