The 4th annual Park City SportsFest presented by People's United Bank was another big success as a key part of the 2009 NCAA Men's
East Regional hockey tournament festivities. The SportsFest took place Saturday, March 28 at the People's Bank Plaza on Main Street in downtown Bridgeport. One of the highlights of SportsFest was the appearance by The Zamboni's, the world's only all hockey rock band (www.thezambonis.com). The popular rockers' performance, sponsored by Bud Light, capped off the event (photo at right).

Former NHL player and official Paul Stewart also signed photos and autographs as part of the Hockey Fights Cancer campaign (photo below at right with Sound Tigers' mascot Storm).
