New York, N.Y. - The ECHL announced that 14-year-old
singer-songwriter Jessarae, who is the son of Hockey Hall of Fame member and
Los Angeles Kings President of Business Operations Luc Robitaille, will perform
the national anthem for both the United States and Canada at the 2010 ECHL
All-Star Game presented by Reebok Hockey
and brought to you by Toyota and the
City of Ontario.
The 2010 ECHL All-Star Game presented by Reebok Hockey
and brought to you by Toyota and the
City of Ontario
will be hosted by the Ontario Reign at Citizens Business Bank Arena
and played on Jan. 20, 2010 while the 2010 ECHL All-Star Skills Competition
will be held on Jan. 19, 2010.
To purchase tickets visit OntarioReign.com/team/allstar/
or telephone the Ontario Reign at (909) 941-7825.
Jessarae has been making a series of special appearances the last few
months including performances at the Sundance Film Festival, Suzy & James
Cameron's Annual Lavender Faire, The Grammy Museum, Keep Hope Alive Benefit
with Gavin Rossdale, Clipper Magazine Stadium, Los Angeles Kings game, and at
his father's Hall of Fame Gala with Sugar Ray. His debut EP, Damaged Heart, was
released in March 2009 and can be downloaded on iTunes.
He is scheduled to perform at the 2010 Olympics and is currently
working on his full-length debut CD which will be released by Raystone Records
later this year. Fans can get news, listen to tracks from Damaged Heart and
view video performances at www.Jessarae.com.
Seven coaches from the ECHL All-Star Game have gone on to coach in the
National Hockey League while 58 players from the contest have gone on to play
in the NHL, including 33 since 2002 when the lineups began having players who
coaches felt were prospects to move up to a higher level.
The third class will be inducted into the ECHL Hall of Fame
on Jan. 20, 2010 during a luncheon ceremony at the Hilton Ontario Airport, the
official host hotel of the 2010 ECHL All-Star Game presented by Reebok Hockey
and brought to you by Toyota and the
City of Ontario.
The featured speaker at the ECHL Hall of Fame
luncheon will be Hockey Hall of Fame member and Los Angeles Kings President of
Business Operations Luc Robitaille.
The past seven ECHL All-Star Games have generated more than
$1 million each for the local economy as guests, players, coaches and fans
occupy hundreds of hotel rooms and spend three days in the host city.
The Stanley Cup and the Patrick J. Kelly Cup will both be on display
throughout the event, marking the 10th time in the last 11 years that the NHL
championship trophy and the ECHL championship trophy have been displayed
together at the All-Star Game.
