Kalamazoo Wings News Release


For the fourth time this season, the Kalamazoo Wings will lace up its skates against the Muskegon Fury. On the season, Kalamazoo holds a 2-1-0-0 advantage against its intra-state rivals and have won both previous encounters at L.C. Walker Arena.

Coming off a 3-2 shootout victory last night in Flint, Kalamazoo is now unbeaten in regulation in its last four games (2-0-0-2). The K-Wings have played well away from Wings Stadium winning four of its seven games this season on the road.

Home has been anything but sweet for the Muskegon. With just one victory at L.C. Walker Arena, the Fury has the dubious honor of holding the worst home record (1-6-0-0) in the IHL. With 11 points on the season, Muskegon finds itself in unfamiliar territory, last place in the league.
