Columbus Cottonmouths News Release


The Columbus Cottonmouths, in conjunction with Fort Benning, will host tryouts today and next Thursday, Jan. 19 from 7-8 pm in the Columbus Ice Rink to assemble a Fort Benning hockey team.

Tryouts are open to all active duty military and participants must provide their own equipment. A very limited supply of equipment will be available for purchase at the rink. Tryouts will consist of drills and scrimmages being run by Cottonmouths head coach Jerome `Boom Boom' Bechard, with 22-24 people being selected for the team.

Saturday, Feb. 11 is Military Appreciation Night and the conclusion of Legends Weekend. Fort Benning's newly-assembled team will face the Cottonmouths Legends at 6 p.m., prior to the Cottonmouths' regularly scheduled game. One ticket gets fans into both events.

Approximately 20 former Snakes will return to the Snake Pit for Legends Weekend. Included in the list of returning players are enforcer and fan-favorite Dan Leslie (2007-10), Cottonmouths all-time leading scorer Tim `The Toolman' Green (2004-10), goaltender from the 1997-98 Levin's Cup championship team Frankie `The Wall' Ouellette (1997-2001) and playoff MVP from the 97-98 championship team Mike Martens (1997-2001). A complete list of returning Legends will be released soon.
