A GREAT PLACE TO DO YOUR CHECKING

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Grand Rapids Griffins and Huntington Bank are teaming up to offer local fans several unique promotions for the 2009-10 season.

For the duration of the campaign, fans who open a qualified new checking account through the “checking” promotion at participating Grand Rapids-area Huntington banking offices will receive two free tickets to a Griffins game during the 2009-10 regular season.

Through the new “In the Lineup” promotion, youth hockey players can become part of the game-night festivities by entering to win a chance to skate onto the ice during pre-game introductions and stand alongside Griffins players during the national anthem prior to eight select home games this season. For more information or to enter the contest, visit griffinshockey.com/lineup.

As the proud sponsor of the Huntington Post-Game Autograph Sessions, Huntington will also offer fans the opportunity to meet their favorite Griffins players during several sessions in the Huntington Club at Van Andel Arena. The three remaining sessions are scheduled for Dec. 26, Jan. 16 and Jan. 29.
