This weekend marks a new chapter of hockey in Wichita Falls. The new North American Hockey League expansion team, the Wichita Falls Warriors will have their inaugural home opener this Saturday against the Odessa Jackalopes.
“Wichita Falls is a hockey community,” said head coach Garrett Roth. “They’ve come out in big numbers in the past when the Rustlers were here, when the Wildcats were here. There were times when they had 5,700 fans in here. It was loud and you couldn’t hear yourself think on the bench so that’s the type of atmosphere we hope to have.”
