In case you haven't noticed, we're in the middle of two, count 'em, TWO offseasons. No Timbers. No Thorns. Why not make silly season a little shorter? Come out to Timbers Army Night at the Portland Winterhawks Saturday, December 28. The mighty PWHC – reigning champions of the Western Hockey League, face off against the Tri-City Americans at 7:00pm in Veteran's Memorial Coliseum. In addition, it's lift ticket night – those attending the game will get a lift ticket good for a specific date on Mt. Hood.

We have access to discounted tickets – only $16.50, and we will all be together in section 57. It will be JUST US. We have around 120 tickets being held for our group. While the tickets will have a seat assigned to them, as was done last year, we will treat the section as General Admission. It's just kinda what we do. Clearance for flags, streamers and potentially an organized tifo display is still TBD.

A friendly reminder, the Winterhawks do consider themselves to be family entertainment. What does this mean for us? No swearing, keep the middle fingers down, all the basics. We followed the same rules last year and didn't have our spirits dampened at all.

Please follow the link below to purchase your tickets:

Remember to use promo code: TA to get your discounted tickets.

While the link does list sales as being open until 4 hours before game time, please DO NOT WAIT. It will be very beneficial to have our allocation sold out by 12/21. If it is not, there is a chance some seats within our section would be opened up to people outside of our group. And those people may not "get" what the TA does. This is not exclusive to 107ist members, but we do want to represent the Timbers Army well. So tell your TA buddies, and spread the news to your closest Riveter. This is just one more way to support the "Town" in Team, Town, TA.

Cheers.
