Thunder Tubing Starts
Restaurants Join Watch Party Club
(Stockton, CA) The Stockton Thunder is rolling out a program geared toward getting fans together to
watch games, even when the team is on the road. The THUNDER TUBER program is a group of
establishments who invite fans to come in and watch the Thunder games with other fans.
“We know the best way to enjoy Thunder hockey is with your friends,” team president Scott Brand
said. “Fans can enjoy a dinner, drinks, good company with friends, and cheer on the Thunder. We
expect this program to grow to cover the entire Central Valley.”
Brand says the Thunder will be reaching to surrounding areas and adding locations that are official
Thunder Tuber parties. Fans at the watch parties are encouraged to take pictures and share on social
media. As the season goes along, the Thunder staff will select a TUBER PARTY OF THE WEEK. The
selected location will receive 10 tickets to a future Thunder game for customers, employees, vendors,
etc. to enjoy in person.
Upcoming THUNDER TUBER dates and times are Nov. 11 7p.m,; Fri Nov. 13 4:30 p.m.; Sat. Nov. 14
3 p.m. The following weekend when the Thunder visit the Mid-South Monarchs, the Tubing watch
parties will be Fri. Nov. 20 at 5 p.m. and Sat. Nov. 21 at 5 p.m. (all times Pacific Standard Time).
Initial THUNDER TUBING locations are Michaels Pizza on Alpine; Caps Pizza on Pacific, and
Mission Pizza on North Pershing, all in Stockton. Additional locations will be announced as the
program grows. Establishments wishing to become official THUNDER TUBERS should contact
Thunder V.P. of Communications Steve McCall via email at steve@stocktonhockey.com or by cell/text
at (209) 292-9773.
After the current road trip, the Thunder returns home to host the Minnesota Northern Lights on
Wednesday November 25th at 7:11 p.m.
All Thunder games can be heard on Sports Radio AM 970 and viewed free on the team’s You Tube
