The Wild Wild West

Kalamazoo will be playing their next three games against the Western Conference for the second straight week. The K-Wings will be traveling to Quad City on Wednesday, then battling Chicago on Friday (1/12) and Fort Wayne on Saturday (1/13) at Wings Stadium. The K-Wings are 10-3-0 versus the Western Conference so far this season.

Five Alive

The K-Wings are riding a five game winning streak coming into this week. The streak is the longest current winning streak in the United Hockey League.

Cross-Bow

In archery, participants use crossbows to hit their target. The K-Wings have used Justin Cross to hit their mark. The forward is currently on a four game goal streak, scoring five goals. The streak ties Cross with Scott Dobben and Nick Bootland for a K-Wings season high.
