Kalamazoo Wings News Release


For the fourth time this season and the final this year at the Sears Centre, the Kalamazoo Wings will face-off against the Chicago Hounds. Kalamazoo has won all three previous encounters against the inaugural Hounds, outscoring Chicago by a combined score of 17-3.

Without feeling the thrill of victory for three straight games (0-2-1), the K-Wings will attempt the stop the agony of a season tying winless streak. Kalamazoo's last three-game winless streak occurred in mid-November. After snapping the streak, the K-Wings went on to win seven of their next 10 games.

Like the K-Wings, the Hounds haven't had much to wag their tails about. Chicago has dropped two straight games and 13 of their last 20. The Hounds are 3-11 against teams from the state of Michigan, with two of those victories occurring at the Sears Centre.
