Minor League Hockey Returns to Columbus

April 23, 2003 - “Columbus has always been a great town for minor league hockey and has a long standing history dating back to the mid 1960s,” said Joe Milano Jr., Milano Sports owner. “The Columbus Stars, in partnership with the UHL, will build upon this tradition and offer hockey fans yet another opportunity to enjoy the sport.”

The UHL’s goal is to keep ticket prices affordable so that an entire family can attend a game. Ticket prices for Columbus Stars home games will range from $9 to $12. True hockey aficionados can now place $50 deposits toward season tickets by calling 614/985-STAR(7827).

“We are excited about this opportunity and are confident that the long-standing hockey tradition and the great fans will only complement the new ownership group,” stated Richard Brosal, UHL President/CEO. The Columbus Stars announcement was made at a press conference held today at the Coliseum.

The Columbus Stars inaugural season begins in late October 2003 and runs through early April 2004, with 38 home games. For more information, call 614/985-STAR(7827) or visit the Web site at www.columbusstars.com.

The UHL has been in existence since 1991 (operating as the Colonial Hockey League until 1997). With the addition of the Stars, the league has 11 Member Clubs in six states. The teams are divided into Eastern and Western Conferences.
