WAYNE GRETZKY TO ATTEND FIREBIRD GAME

AT FIREBIRDS GAME ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 22, 2023

PALM DESERT, CA – The Great One, Wayne Gretzky, the National Hockey League’s all-time leader in both goals and assist, nine-time Hart Trophy winner, a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, and four-time Stanley Cup Champion, will drop the puck at Acrisure Arena on Sunday, January 22 prior to the Coachella Valley Firebirds game against the San Diego Gulls at 3 p.m.

FIREBIRDS INTRODUCE TEAM MASCOT “FUEGO”

“It’s hard to believe it’s been 35 years when I was traded from Edmonton to Los Angeles Kings. It was an exciting time in my life,” Gretzky said. “To see hockey grow in Southern California, and to have an AHL team in the desert is exciting. I’m looking forward to dropping the puck for the Coachella Valley Firebirds game.”
