Beaumont, TX (October 11, 2006) The Texas Wildcatters Hockey Team, ECHL affiliate of the AHL's Houston Aeros, participated in an Intra-squad scrimmage at Ford Arena on Wednesday night. It was the Inaugural Adams Cup Classic where Wildcatters Head Coach Malcolm Cameron put together two teams to play in a two period scrimmage.

The scrimmage consisted of two periods, the first with 20 minutes, the second consisting of 15 minutes. Marco Rosa opened the scoring, followed by Kevin Baker's first goal of the game. Team Gumper was up 2-0 before Team Shipwreck got a late first period goal, coming from the stick of Mike Bayrack. Bayrack opened up the second period with his second tally which tied the game at 2-2. Baker followed with his second goal of the game then it was Jonathan Paiement who made a nifty move to make it a 4-2 lead for Team Gumper.
