Trenton Devils News Release
TRENTON, NJ - The Trenton Titans announced today that they have added the Japanese National Men's Tpeam to a weekend of exhibition games to be hosted by the Titans at Sovereign Bank Arena.

With the Russian team, Spartak, already slated to play the Titans in an exhibition match, the addition of the Japanese team has allowed the Titans to create an international round robin to take place after the Christmas holiday.

Though the games will not count in any team's respective league standings, the winner will walk away with international bragging rights. The Japanese team continues their American tour as they skate against the Reading Royals on Tuesday, December 30 at the Sovereign Center and then travel west to take on the Idaho Steelheads and Long Beach Ice Dogs. The team features players ages 20 to 26 from Japanese university and corporate leagues and is coached by former Winnipeg Jets assistant Glen Williamson.
