Kalamazoo Wings News Release


Kalamazoo, MI- The Kalamazoo Wings, proud member of the ECHL and affiliate of the National Hockey League's New York Islanders and American Hockey League's Bridgeport Sound Tigers, announce they will be making several public appearances greeting fans and signing autographs next week following their Monday, February 14th clash versus the Wheeling Nailers during the 11th Annual Pink Ice Game at Wings Stadium.

On Tuesday, February 15th, Trent Daavettila, Bryan Jurynec and Dean Strong will join Kalamazoo's favorite mascot Slappy at Smashburger from 6-8 pm. Smashburger is quickly becoming Kalamazoo's favorite burger place. They take 100% certified Angus beef that has never been frozen and smash it on a flat grill to sear in all the juices. As a reminder, as a member of K-Wings Kidz Club, Smashburger has offered a FREE meal to any member that wears their Kidz Club jersey or Kidz Club ID will receive a FREE Kids Meal, with the purchase of an adult entry. Smashburger in Kalamazoo is located on West Main, just east of Drake Road.

The following day, on Wednesday, February 16th, Joe Charlebois and Mitch Versteeg will talk to students from Lewis Cass ISD starting at 1 p.m.

Later that night, Justin Taylor, Steven Tarasuk and Andrew Fournier will be at Hooter's on South Westnedge just north of I-94 from Meijer from 6-8 p.m. Hooter's is a worldwide restaurant chain that bills itself as "delightfully tacky yet unrefined."

It will be back to school on Thursday, February 17th for Ryan McGinnis and Corey Syvret as they talk to Hopkins Elementary students at 2 p.m.

The K-Wings will also be serving coffee at Biggby Coffee on Thursday, February 17th and Friday, February 18th. Biggby Coffee is the fastest growing coffee franchise in the Midwest and serves the world's best coffee. On Thursday, Darryl Lloyd and Jon Landry will visit the South Westnedge location in front of Target from 12-1 p.m., the South Westnedge location across from Meijer from 3:30-4:30 p.m. and the Plainwell location from 5-6 p.m.

On Friday, Aaron Clarke and Jay Sprague will visit the West Main location from 12-1 pm, the Bernard Center at Western Michigan University from 1:30-2:30 p.m., the Stadium Drive location from 3:30-4:30 p.m. and the Gull Road location from 5-6 pm.

The K-Wings will finish out their busy week on the evening of February 18th with a 6-7:30 p.m. visit to Jungle Joe's on Sprinkle Road. Ryan Nie and A.J. Thelen will be in attendance and Jungle Joe's will offer $2 off the admission price to any K-Wings Kidz Club member.
