I want to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to everyone who helped make the 2010 Time Warner Cable AHL All-Star Classic an overwhelming success.

All the hard work and dedication by so many individuals and corporate partners helped make this event a memorable one for the players, visiting guests and local fans. We were treated to a fantastic display of athleticism and team work on the ice and outstanding hospitality and entertainment off the ice.

A special thanks to Time Warner Cable for their generous support as the title sponsor, Ducks Unlimited for presenting the Skills Competition, the Cumberland County Civic Center, the City of Portland and dozens of other business partners that made a positive impact on the event.

Last, but not least, I would like to thank the fans - from those who attended the event from local destinations to those who traveled from various parts of the United States and Canada. Your support of the 2010 Time Warner Cable AHL All-Star Classic created an exceptional atmosphere, both in the arena and at our official events surrounding our All-Star experience and brought energy to our downtown. Thanks again!

Sincerely,
Brian Petrovek
Managing Owner/CEO
