Kalamazoo Wings News Release


Kalamazoo, MI- Growing up, Katelyn McLean's dream was to be a member of the Detroit Red Wings. This Monday that dream becomes a reality as she joins the staff of Olympia Entertainment as their Kids Club/Youth Hockey assistant.

McLean, who has been with the Kalamazoo Wings organization for just over a year, will be assisting with all Detroit Red Wings youth hockey programs, camps, College Hockey in the "D", and day to day responsibilities of the Kids Club.

"Whether it is a player or a member of our front office staff, we (K-Wings) are all about doing everything we can to support and assist our talented team members to achieve their dreams," said general manager Jim Burlew. "Katelyn is a very talented individual and we are very proud of her and very excited about her new endeavor."

While with the K-Wings, McLean generated excitement for fans of the team through game-day experiences, intermission activities as well as helping with other non-game related promotions. Since May, McLean has been working in the K-Wings front office as a ticket sales representative.

Tickets for all 36 K-Wings home games and two preseason games are currently on sale at the Wings Stadium Ticket Office, all Ticketmaster locations, including www.ticketmaster.com or by calling (800) 745-3000. Ticket office hours are Monday-Friday 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturdays.

Regular season ticket prices for home games are $13 and $17.50 for adults and only $7 for kids ages 12 and under. The price for all K-Wings premium night games (all colored ice games and the New Year's Eve game) are just $1 more. Fans can save money by purchasing K-Wings single-game tickets in advance. Tickets purchased on the day of a game increase by $2 (adults only).

Fans that plan on attending multiple games can avoid service fees plus enjoy a discount from the single-game price by purchasing a 12, 24 or 36-game flexi-plan. These plans, along with full-season and group ticket packages may be ordered through the K-Wings Sales office by calling (269) 743-6011.

Kalamazoo's 40th Anniversary season will commence on Saturday, October 19th at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana against the Evansville IceMen.

Fans are encouraged to dress in costumes for Halloween festivities including a chance to win $100 for both an adult and child in the K-Wings' best costume contest.
