The Power welcomes the Wausau Cyclones to Kettle Moraine Ice Center for the second time this season in a Friday-Saturday match up for “Deer Hunter’s Widows Weekend” sponsored by Kewaskum Family Dentistry. Friday night is Mexican Night ($10/plate includes three tacos, chips and rice) provided by The Great Outdoors Supper Club. Saturday is Appetizer Night ($15 all you can eat!). The first 250 fans each night will receive a free Power mug. There will be vendors for ladies and holiday shopping, a bake sale benefitting the West Bend Girls Rush High School Lacrosse team, t-shirt/hat/prize giveaway during intermission tosses, and WCYHA skater mini-games at intermission. Food and beverage service start at 5:00pm.
The Power (12-5-1-0) is in second place in the Central Division with 25 points. The Cyclones are 14-1-2 with 30 points, currently leading the Central Division. The two teams last faced off in West Bend in October, splitting the series with both games decided by just one goal in overtime thrillers.
The Power is coming off an overtime win against the Wisconsin Woodsmen and the Cyclones are coming off a sweep of the Peoria Mustangs. The Power is led in scoring by Jackson Hoem with 23 points and Oliver Schroeder with 16 points. Jace Fitzgerald, second leading scorer has been called up to the NAHL to play with the Wisconsin Windigo. Also called up for the Power is Will McDonald, who is heading to the Minnesota Mallards.
“This weekend is a great opportunity to test our adaptability and growth as a team. Facing three different teams with unique playing styles in just three games will really put your ability to modify gameplay to the test,” said Power Associate Head Coach/General Manager Jeremy Ebert.
Both games are at 7:30pm and will be broadcast on NA TV.
