The K-Wings will play two home games this week. Tomorrow Kalamazoo will host the Muskegon Fury on Disco Inferno Night.

On Saturday, the K-Wings host the Richmond RiverDogs for the 5th Annual WOTV, WKFR Teddy Bear Toss night. When the K-Wings score their first goal of the night, fans will be able to throw their stuffed animals onto the ice.
