I recently attended my first Kalamazoo Wings Hockey game at Wings Stadium. Being a fan of active team sports, and enjoying making a good video now and then, I took my camera with me to the game and put together a video which you can see below.
The Kalamazoo Wings (known locally as the K-Wings) are members of the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL), an AA league which was founded in 1988-89 with originally just four teams. Today the ECHL has grown to 19 teams all over the U.S. and each have a 72 game schedule. So it is very easy to see some very talented and exciting hockey frequently if you are a fan.
Tickets range from $10 to $16 depending on seating and advanced purchase. Season ticket for a team can be purchased for adults that range from $356 to $536 and a standard consistent rate of $248 for children depending on seating location.
Wings Stadium is set up like a typical hockey facility, with an accessible hallway all around the rink complete with food venues, drinks, gift shops and vending machines. I went to the game with my little brother from Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) and he even got to participate in an event for kids on the ice between one of the periods.
The K-Wings have quite a fan base, and the stadium was quite full when we attended on a Friday night. If you are in the area, and want some different and exciting entertainment from the drudgery of winter, you should consider attending a game.
You can find out more about the team on their website at: http://www.wingsstadium.com/ . The website includes ticket prices, seating assignments, updates on the team and their schedule, standings, and much more.
The Kalamazoo Wings are a great asset to the Southwest Michigan region, and is great fun for kids who love the game.
