  • Kalamazoo won 3-1 at Fort Wayne, then lost
    4-5 vs Fort Wayne the next night.  The
    next week sees Elmira in Kalamazoo on Friday and Saturday and then on Wednesday
    K-Zoo goes off to Fort Wayne once again.  K-Zoo will
    be having a Military Appreciation Jersey night with some very
    ugly jerseys
    .
  • Curtis Valk played in 2 games scoring 1 goal and
    1 assist and put up 6 shots on goals. 
    Valk continues to impress and leads the KWings in
    scoring
    and won the ECHL Player
    of the Month
    .  I would bet he is the
    first call-up to Utica this year.
  • Ludwig Blomstrand played 2 games earning 1
    assist and 3 SOG.
  • Dane Fox did not play as he was injured and on
    the reserved list for reasons that have not been disclosed.
