GRIZZLIES ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP WITH TACO BELL

Great Falls, MT: Today, the Great Falls Grizzlies, a minor league hockey team in the Simulation Hockey League pipeline, announced today a new finalized partnership with the global leader in "Tex-Mex" mexican food, Taco Bell. After having been created as an expansion team in the SMJHL in Season 61, the Grizzlies have seen moderately decent success as a team which includes a trip to the finals in Season 63. With this success and greater introduction of the sport of ice hockey to the general Montana public, Taco Bell, who already has two restaurants currently operating in Great Falls, announced they would like to do more to help promote the team...and of course sell tacos.

Great Falls Grizzlies President and General Manager, Thomas Jackson (@Chevy) stated the following about the partnership: "Its hard to really take off as an expansion team in an area where hockey isn't one of the first things you would think of as being a major sporting draw to fans. Sure the area is known for Team USA hockey's youth development program but aside from that when you think of hockey you think of the east coast teams or Canadian teams. Our players since Season 61 have worked incredibly hard to not only keep us in contention on several seasons here in Great Falls but also give the fans a product they can be proud of. With Taco Bell wanting to jump on board to help fund our promotions it opens up some fantastic new avenues for us as a team, both in payroll and in marketing capitol."

As part of the new partnership deal, Great Falls Management has agreed to house not only a new advertisement for Taco Bell on the ice, which is the first to break away from any of the bear themed advertisers currently shown, but also in creation of two new marketing ventures:

First, Taco Bell will introduce a new limited edition quesarito called the "UnBEARably hot quesarito"
For each goal scored at home by the Grizzlies, for season 68 fans with a paid admission will receive a voucher for a free taco the following day from their local Taco Bell restaurant.
