Ice Bats Vs. Mudbugs Tonite
By Mark Fagan, 1:00PM, Sat. Oct. 21, 2006
Yes, I know, pro and college football is in full swing and the Detroit Tigers are preparing to win the World Series in six over the least-worthy world championship contender in years, the St. Louis Cardinals. I'm sure many casual sports fans aren't even aware that the NHL season started about 10 days ago and our state's representatives, the Dallas Stars, are off to an impressive 6-1 start. Well, Austin sports fan, it's time to refocus your perspective and alter your priorities. With the Toros, Express, and Wranglers all in their offseason, the Ice Bats are back for their 06-07 campaign to give you a hometown professional sports team to root for. They are looking for your support in their quest to hoist the CHL's Ray Miron President's Cup championship trophy and will do their part by fielding a talented squad with NHL dreams, or at least the dream of getting paid to play hockey. This year's team will get tested right out of the gate hosting the Northern Conference defending champion Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs tonight at the refurbished Chapparal Ice Arena. The new Bat Cave is located on I-35 between Howard Lane and Wells Branch Parkway and all fans will receive a free magnetic schedule just for showing up.
