Kalamazoo Wings News Release


The K-Wings hit the road tonight to battle the Port Huron Beacons. Tonight's game is the third of eight between the teams this season. Kalamazoo has won the two previous encounters, including a 4-2 victory here at the McMorran Place Arena back on October 23rd.

Since yesterday, Kalamazoo has added some size to their lineup. The K-Wings completed a trade with Fort Wayne that sent forward Kevin Kotyluk to Kalamazoo for forward David Hukalo.
