SAVANNAH GHOST PIRATES
ENMARKET ARENA - SAVANNAH, GEORGIA
“It was incredible. I don’t know how else to explain it. Obviously, we have some work to do on the ice but off the ice, 33 of the 36 games were sold out. We were very excited about that. The reception and the reaction of people in southeast Georgia could not have been more welcoming to our team”
