The Boys are back in town Brown Bear Fans! It’s going to be a fun weekend of fast hockey at the Soldotna Regional Sports Center this weekend! The Janesville Jets are flying into town to take on the Brown Bears and Zach and Bronson are ready to rough those fly boys up! They’ve had a busy week pitching in around town with the usual stuff, lots of time spent at school with the kids and on the ice with our KPHA skaters. Most importantly they’ve put in the practice time needed with the rest of the guys to get the team ready for the games, and now they’re ready to hear their home town fans raise the roof! So get your Brown Bear gear out, your cowbells and foghorns and make your way over to the “Bear’s Den” at the Sports Center Friday and Saturday night! Both games start at 7:30pm and for goodness sake don’t forget your fish! The Bears will be hungry when those lamps light up! Bronson and Zach will be on the ice after Saturdays games to hang out and talk shop so make sure you say “Hi” if you see them, and be loud when they skate by you during the game! Go Bears!
