Oh When The Saints Go Marching In...

Well, not so much marching in as they are skating in. As many of you would know, the Dubuque Fighting Saints have started their 2015-2016 season this month! They're in preseason right now, and their first official game is the 26th AT HOME! By the way, they play at the Mystique Arena down by the river! These fantastic players have qualified for the playoff rounds 5 straight years, winning the Anderson Cup (league title) in 2012-2013. Many have gone off to top colleges and the NHL. What better local team to support than Saints? Am I right? 

Victory Ford is a proud sponsor of the Saints. Some ways we are involved at every game are announcements, radio spots, post-game t shirt and "stress truck" tosses. There are more specific things we do with them as well!

If you like free tickets to events, we've got some great opportunities for you! Four center-ice tickets (best seats in the house) will be given away this season for 17 games! Even though there isn't a bad seat in the house, these are THE BEST and FREE! Listen for giveaways on the radio or you may win by buying from us!

Maxx & Bernie at Mascot Mania

Bernie makes appearances at Victory Events and Maxx Mustang goes to some of the Saints games. For the Mascot Mania game, which Victory hosts, we give out 25 attack zone seats for fans! Mascots from all over the Dubuque area come to meet and greet fans, run around on the ice, and have tons of fun! Potential dates for Mascot Mania this year are February, 27, March, 5, March, 9, and March, 19. Keep a close eye out and maybe you can win tickets!

Victory also hosts the Chuck-A-Puck contest. Chuck-A-Puck is a popular event done by many high school, intermediate, and college games. Fans pay a certain amount per puck and when it comes time, they "chuck the puck" at a designated spot on the ice. Whoever gets the closest, wins the pool of money! For Victory's Chuck-A-Puck, fans toss their pucks towards our banner on the ice. At the end of the season, the winners get a chance to shoot for a vehicle! If you're a maverick at shooting pucks, this could be an easy win for you! On average, 300-600 pucks are sold throughout the season. This year we're also giving away free car washes and trade evaluations!

Bernie at Victory's Customer Appreciation Day

To help out local area children, Victory is also expanding its reading program with the Saints. We partnered with the Carnegie-Stout Library in Dubuque and the Saints from December through March. The library already hosts a Summer program, attracting around 3,000 kids. We hope those numbers get boosted with the Winter Reading Program! Appearances at the library will include Saints players, coaches, Bernie, and Maxx Mustang. These special guests will read to the children. The kids absolutely love it in the summer time!

Along with the appearances, the Saints will be giving out 2 tickets to a home game in April for each student who completes the program! Education and sports, what a perfect combination for growing kids! You can find out more about the reading program on the Saints website and social media!

Victory wishes the Dubuque Fighting Saints a tremendous "victory" this 2015-2016 season and we hope to see YOU at the games! Come, have some fun, and watch one of the most exciting sports in the world! GO SAINTS!
