COMPANY TO HOST HOCKEY AND FOOTBALL NIGHTS AT MEADOWLANDS RACETRACK
East Rutherford, N.J. (Sept. 3, 2019) – Peter
Grandich and Company announced today that it will be providing several of its
team members, each of whom are beloved former professional athletes in the
Tri-State Area, over the course of two nights at Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment in East Rutherford,
New Jersey. In addition to the athlete appearances, Peter Grandich
and Company will also provide numerous sports memorabilia items for drawing on
those two evenings.
“As a fan
of harness racing for almost 50 years and involved with professional athletes
for two decades, co-hosting an event with the good people at the Meadowlands
Racetrack was a natural for me,” said Peter Grandich, Managing Member of Peter
Grandich and Company. “I am most grateful that members of my Advisory Board are
making themselves available for these two great events.”
The first date is
set for Saturday, November 9, when three former National Hockey League (NHL)
standouts will be signing autographs and taking photos from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM
as part of a special Hockey Night. The three players will be New York
Rangers great Nick Fotiu, New Jersey Devils Stanley Cup champion Bruce Driver
and Philadelphia Flyers Hall of Famer Brian Propp. In addition to the
meet-and-greet, the three athletes will also take part in a race presentation
later that evening.
Peter Grandich
and Company will then return to Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment for Football
Night on Saturday, December 7. All-time New York Jets great Joe Klecko,
along with his son and three-time Super Bowl champion Dan Klecko, will be
signing autographs and taking photos with fans from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM. Later
in the evening, the Kleckos will head to the winner’s circle for a special race
presentation.
“We
value our partnership with Peter Grandich and Company and would like to thank
the members of his board that are attending these two great events, said Jason
