Kalamazoo Wings News Release


KALAMAZOO, MI- The Kalamazoo Wings announced Monday that their preseason tilt against the Toledo Walleye on Saturday, October 10 will be free for the first 600 members of the public to attend.

The 7:00 pm contest will take place at Wings West Ice Arena, located at 5076 Sports Drive in Kalamazoo. Wings West is located at the corner of 9th St. and W N Ave., just north of the 9th St. exit off I-94.

The K-Wings will skate in two preseason contests against the Toledo Walleye in a home-and-home series which starts in Toledo on Friday, October 9 at 7:15 p.m. inside the Huntington Center and will conclude with the October 10 game at Wings West. The two games will act as a tune-up for the regular season and a final chance for players to crack the regular season roster.

Also set to be rolled out at the preseason game in Kalamazoo is the new K-Wings anthem, titled "Eat, Drink, and Play Hockey."

The song was created by Overneath Creative Collective, a local Kalamazoo production house and recording studio, and will serve as a rally cry for fans at Wings Event Center this season. The lyrics pay homage to the Kalamazoo area and its love for good food, great beer, and fast-paced action on the ice. The full lyrics follow this release.

The K-Wings open their 42nd season of professional hockey against the Fort Wayne Komets at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, October 16 at Wings Event Center. For the official 2015-16 K-Wings season schedule, visit kwings.com.
