GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Being a Grand Rapids Griffins season ticket holder has its rewards. Now more than ever, thanks to the Griffins’ “Thrilling 30” contest.

Each day during June, one current full season or 20-game ticket holder will be selected at random to receive a truly unique prize or fan experience, ranging from a Zamboni driving lesson to a game of street hockey with Griffins players at their house. One lucky fan will even win a one-day player’s contract. The complete schedule of prizes can be found at the end of this release.

To enter the contest, fans must renew or purchase a Griffins full season or 20-game ticket plan (or the equivalence in FLEX tickets) for the 2011-12 season. Renewing ticket plan holders receive two entries into the daily drawings, new ticket plan holders will receive one entry, and all ticket plan holders will receive a free Griffins Glove Mug while supplies last.

All winners will be notified by the Griffins, with daily results posted on the team’s Facebook and Twitter pages. For complete contest details, official rules and ticket plan information, please visit griffinshockey.com/30 or call (616) 774-4584 ext. 2.
