BULLFROGS and SURE-GRIP RENEW PARTNERSHIP

Los Angeles, CA-----Anaheim Bullfrogs players can be assured of at least one thing in 1997: They will again be skating on Sure-Grip Hockey Frames. "What better way for us at Sure-Grip to expose and advertise our product for our dealers than through the Bullfrogs players using our frames," said Jim Ball, Vice-President of Sure-Grip. "We're proud to be involved with the Bullfrogs for a second straight season." In 1996 the Bullfrogs, led by All Stars Victor Gervais, Darren Perkins, Joe Cook, and goaltender Rob Laurie, won RHI's regular season title, won their fourth consecutive Pacific Division crown, and set all-time league records for wins and points in a season. Mark "Hootie" Burgess, the Bullfrogs Equipment Manager commented "The frames are so easy to mount and work with. We change wheels after each game and practice, and with the abuse that the pro players put these frames through, we've never had problems!" Stuart Silver, President of the Bullfrogs added "It's great to have Sure-Grip back for another season. We look forward to having another great season with our players using their frames." Sure-Grip Hockey Frames, which were used exclusively by eight RHI teams in 1996, are available at all finer skate and hockey shops worldwide.

SURE-GRIP SCORES SECOND CONSECUTIVE RHI MOST VALUABLE PLAYER "HAT-TRICK"

Los Angeles, CA-----For the second consecutive season, RHI players using Sure-Grip Hockey Frames took home all three MVP awards. Daniel Shank followed in Mark Woolf's 1995 footsteps by being awarded the MVP trophy for the RHI Playoff's Most Valuable Player. Shank led the way with 27 points in post-season play. Hugo Belanger, an RHI rookie, was named the 1996 Player of the Year. Belanger became the first player in RHI history to top the 100 point barrier scoring 101 points. This feat is of great significance as he played in only 25 of the 28 regular season games. Tony Szabo did it again by earning the All-Star Game Most Valuable Player award for the second year in a row. Szabo was the top scorer in the 1996 affair with six goals. At the 1995 All Star Game, Szabo represented the Motor City Mustangs (Detroit, MI) and earned the MVP award after a four goal, one assist performance. He was also awarded the 1995 Player of the Year. All three players used Sure-Grip's H-405 Hockey Frame, the best and most durable hockey frame available. "Our frames can only be copied, but never equaled", said Jim Ball, Vice-President of Sure-Grip. "I congratulate Daniel, Hugo, and Tony on their great accomplishments and thank them for choosing our frames. It's nice to know that these pro players take pride in the skates and equipment they use." Sure-Grip Hockey Frames, which were used exclusively by eight RHI teams in 1996 including the Anaheim Bullfrogs, Empire State Cobras, Montreal Roadrunners, Oakland Skates, Oklahoma Coyotes, Ottawa Loggers, Philadelphia Bulldogs, and Vancouver VooDoo, are available at all finer skate and hockey shops worldwide.
