The San Diego Gulls hit the rink again tonight for a showdown with the Colorado Eagles as they seek to soar their way to victory on home ice at Pechanga Arena San Diego (6 p.m. PST).
Saturday night’s showdown will see the arena in festive spirits as San Diego holds Mexican Heritage Night, kicking off the evening with a pregame tailgate featuring folklorico dancers, live mariachi music, and more. The tailgate will be from 4-6 p.m. in the North VIP lot, brought to you by Mason Ale Works.
The first 8,000 fans in attendance at tonight’s game will receive an on-theme pair of Mexican Heritage Night socks. Additionally, the San Diego Gulls Foundation will host a player-worn jersey raffle and Mexican Heritage-themed Surprise Puck sale, available at the San Diego Gulls Foundation booth at section 10.
On the ice tonight, Gulls skaters will sport specialty Mexican Heritage Night jerseys as they get ready to bring the heat in their first meeting against the Eagles since November.
In San Diego on Friday, Pechanga Arena saw the Gulls clawing to uneven a tied scoreboard in a tightly contested affair with the Tucson Roadrunners, ultimately dropping the game 2-1 after they fought until the final seconds.
Jaxsen Wiebe netted the lone goal for the Gulls in the middle frame, his fourth of the season (4-1=5).
Andrew Agozzino and Olen Zellweger picked up assists on Wiebe’s goal.
At tonight’s game, the Gulls will set out looking to create momentum early as they defend home ice from another tough opponent. San Diego will aim to embark on the night with present mindsets focused on the game in front of them, while keeping the impending playoffs on their radar.
Less than a week from today, the Gulls will gear up to journey to Scotiabank Saddledome for back-to-back matchups with the Calgary Wranglers starting on Friday, Feb. 9 (12 p.m. PST) and Saturday, Feb. 10 (6 p.m. PST).
