“I’ve really enjoyed going to Wings games over the past few seasons and I love the sport,” Hawes said. “I can’t wait to see this year’s Wings team take on Buffalo and I’m thrilled to be participating in the face-off.”
The Wings take on the Buffalo Bandits to open their 27th season of play. Tickets for the Wings home opener and all home games at the Wells Fargo Center are available by calling 215-389-WING or online at www.WINGSLAX.com
