What You Can Expect at K-Wings Home Opener and Orange Ice 2021

Hockey is coming out of the pandemic penalty box with the K-Wings Home Opener and Orange Ice.

The Kalamazoo Wings will be making up for lost time after missing a year on the ice.  Saturday, October 23rd at 7 P.M. the K-Wings will take on their rivals the Toledo Walleye.  First 1,000 fans through door 7 grab a K-wings 21-22 magnetic schedule, K-Wings branded mask, and hand sanitizer.  The K-Wings will also honor healthcare workers with their "Salute to Scrubs."  Healthcare workers have endured the worst of the worst over the last year and a half.  The Kalamazoo Wings organization wants to show them some love and appreciation while they enjoy some hockey.
