Walleye Notes

Ø Oh What a Night! The lone game this past week was the greatest night in the storied history of Toledo hockey with the first ever outdoor game in ECHL history Saturday night at Fifth Third Field. Kalamazoo didn't dampen the spirits of a great crowd despite beating the Walleye 2-1 with a goal late in the third period. Tyler Barnes scored the lone Walleye goal in the second period.

Ø History was Made! Not only was Saturday historical from a first ever standpoint, it was the largest crowd ever to watch a professional hockey game in Toledo with 11,222 fans in attendance at the home of the Toledo Mud Hens. The previous record was 8,250 set on October 15, 2011 at the Huntington Center. The record crowd vaulted Toledo's season attendance average to 6,130 per game which is third best in the ECHL.

Ø Blistering Barnes! December has not cooled off forward Tyler Barnes as he has picked up at least one point in ten of the eleven games played. For the month, Barnes has seven goals with ten assists for 17 points and is a plus 10. The first year forward leads the Walleye in points (33), assists (20), plus/minus (+17), and is tied with Anthony Luciani and Kyle Bonis for the team lead in goals with 13.

Ø History in the Making, Winterfest Part Two! History will be made again Saturday night when the Toledo Walleye play the Fort Wayne Komets at Fifth Third Field! The Walleye have a 3-0-0 record so far this season against the Komets. Prior to that game, the Walleye will head to Brampton for a pair of games on Tuesday and Wednesday. Toledo took the first two meetings this season back in October by scores of 6-3 and 4-2. On Friday night, the Walleye will skate in Indy where Toledo won the first meeting 4-0 on December 19.
