Walleye Notes
The Zoo wasn't too kind: Toledo opened up season twelve in Walleye history Saturday night in Kalamazoo. Two early Kwings goals put the Walleye behind 2-0 before Toledo Native Gordie Myer scored the first Walleye goal of the year at 10:50 of the first. John Albert followed up with a goal just 35 seconds to tie the score at two. Kalamazoo would net the final three goals, sending the Walleye to a 5-2 loss.
Season opener is behind us: Since the start of Walleye hockey in 2009, Toledo is 6-5-1 in season opening games. Saturday's loss was just the second ever for the Walleye away from home with a near perfect 5-2-1 road record in season opening games.
The wheels on the bus go round and round in October: Toledo will keep the bus moving in the first month of the season as all three of Toledo's games in October are on the road. The first Toledo Walleye game at the Huntington Center is set for November 6 when the Kalamazoo Wings invade Toledo. They will have five straight road games done before the home slate starts. The latest a Toledo team has started its home schedule was November 7, 2015 vs. Adirondack. Toledo played the first seven games on the road that season.
Visiting a new franchise: The latest team to enter the Central division is the Iowa Heartlanders and the Walleye will head there for back to back games this Friday and Saturday. This starts a season series that will see the Walleye and Heartlanders match up nine times in the 2021-22 campaign.
