Thunder Begins Busy Week This Friday vs. KC

Wichita, KS (Oct. 31st) - The Wichita Thunder, ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Edmonton Oilers, AHL's Bakersfield Condors and powered by Toyota, begins a busy week this Friday with a three-game series against the Kansas City Mavericks.

The Thunder heads on the road for the first two meetings in the season-series starting at 7:05 p.m. on Friday at Silverstein Eye Centers Arena. Wichita won the Independence Cup Series last year, going 6-3-2-1. All-time, the Thunder are 53-45-13 and 22-24-10 on the road in the series.

Wichita returns home on Sunday afternoon for Jump Start Buy-In Night, Gold On Ice Men's League Charity Hockey game and a post-game skate. Stop by any local Jump Start to pick up your complimentary Fan Zone ticket voucher while supplies last. Tickets are going fast so get yours now.

Join us before the game for a Charity Hockey Game to benefit Izzy Velazquez and his family. All the money we raise will be presented to them during the Thunder's Hockey Fights Cancer Night on November 8th. 50% of ticket proceeds will go to the family using the discount code, CHARITY. Doors for the game open at 1:45 p.m. and face-off at 2 p.m.

Izzy turned five on October 23rd. He was diagnosed last year just after his fourth birthday on November 14th with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). He is currently going in for treatment twice a week due to low counts but hoping to go back to once a month treatments once his counts get back up. Just like most five-year olds, Izzy loves trucks, tractors, construction and ninjas.

Bring your skates on Sunday and hit the ice with your favorite Thunder players immediately following the game. Buy tickets for the game here.
