Battle Creek Rumble Bees News Release


BATTLE CREEK, MI - The newly-minted Battle Creek Rumble Bees are set to embark on their second full weekend of existence as a full-fledged, bona fide pro hockey franchise in the FPHL (Federal Prospects Hockey League.

Under the auspices of Head Coach Clint Hagmaier, the Rumble Bees 2(0-2-0), will be in quest with zest of their initial triumph when they tangle with their East Division foes, the Mentor Ice Breakers in a two-games' weekend series this Friday and Saturday nights at their home of The Rink Battle Creek, downtown in our town. Opening face-off for both games is set for 7:35 pm.

While the Rumble Bees will be seeking their first victory of the embryonic campaign this weekend, the Mentor club, located just outside Cleveland, OH, is bringing a 2(1-1-0) record into the weekend series. In the FPHL's inaugural weekend of its 10th Anniversary Season last weekend, Battle Creek, despite a pair of gallant efforts and performances, bowed in a pair of bouts to Danville by results of 7-1 last Friday night and 6-3 on Saturday night. Meanwhile, Mentor, which is launching the season on an extended five-games' road junket, divided a pair of 3-1 decisions in Watertown against the Wolves.

The Rumble Bees broach their busiest schedule of the season for the month of November this weekend with two more premium promotions. Friday night has been designated as "269 NIGHT." Saturday night is "HABITAT FOR HUMANITY NIGHT." Battle Creek is launching an ambitious 13-games' slate for the eleventh month of this current calendar year with six of those dates to be staged on home ice and seven more abroad.

Beginning this weekend, the Rumble Bees and the Ice Breakers will be seeing each other with considerable frequency. Beginning this Friday night, the two teams will tussle a total of four consecutive times spanning back-to-back weekends. Three of those clashes will be staged here in Battle Creek; the fourth one will have Mentor as the backdrop where the Rumble Bees will make their first ever road junket in the FPHL. Mentor will be back here in town next Friday night, November 8th for a 7:35 duel while the Rumble Bees journey to the Ohio hamlet one week from this Saturday, November 9th.
