Surprise Player
He appeared last Friday with the Storm in Evansville, and now he is appearing this weekend at home.
Fan favorite Marcus Ortiz is BACK!
We asked Ortiz how he feels coming back as an emergency player and here is what he said,
"I’m honored to be able to return to an organization I consider home and a group of guys I consider brothers. I’m thrilled to be able to come and help out alittle and try to help the boys get back on track here."
-Marcus Ortiz
Many fans have been wondering where he's been and what he's been up to.
"I’m the hockey director at the rink in Knoxville and I’m coaching 2 youth travel teams. 10 & 14 year olds."
-Marcus Ortiz
Storm fans can't wait to see one of their favorite players back on the home ice!
Future Jersey Night
On February 4th, 2023, the Quad City Storm will be hosting the annual Hockey Fights Cancer Night, presented by @UPHQuadCities.
Fans are able to the name of a loved one who has battled cancer on the jerseys. Only 100 names are available to be placed on the jersey, so here is your heads up to act fast!
All proceeds go to Trinity Health Foundation QC.
See you this weekend!
