Friday's game will air on WKBV 1490 AM (Richmond, Ind.), while Saturday's game will be broadcast on WMOH 1450 AM The Ticket (Hamilton, Ohio). Greg Waddell and Drew Davis will have the call both nights.
Matthew Barbolini (7-11-18) and John Waldron (7-4-11) each have seven goals on the year to lead the RedHawks' offense. Barbolini has a team-high 11 assists. Red Savage and PJ Fletcher have produced 10 points apiece. Goaltender Ludvig Persson is 6-9-2 between the pipes with a .904 save percentage and 3.12 GAA.
