AMARILLO, TX – For the first time in franchise history, the Amarillo Bulls will be heading north to Alaska.
The Bulls in conjunction with the North American Hockey League announced it’s 2019-2020 schedule that includes first time visits by the Alaska based teams, and the trips for Amarillo to both Fairbanks and Kenai River in March.
The Bulls will host the Fairbanks IceDogs on Friday, Oct. 25 and Saturday, Oct. 26, and then the Kenai River Brown Bears on Friday, Jan. 4 and Saturday, Jan. 5. The trip to Alaska for the Bulls will begin the week of March 5th.
The 10th anniversary season of Amarillo’s No. 1 Sports team features 28 home and 28 away games as well as four that will take place at the NAHL Showcase in Blaine, Minnesota in September. For the first time in several years, the Bulls will also not play a home game prior to the Showcase, but will start on the road with a single game on Monday, September 16 versus the Topeka Pilots at Stormont Vail Events Center.
The Bulls home opener is set for Friday, Sept. 27 and Saturday, Sept. 28 versus the Shreveport Mudbugs at the Budweiser Bull Pen in the Amarillo Civic Center in a rematch of the South Division Championship Series. That’s one of eight games versus all divisional opponents including the newest addition the New Mexico Ice Wolves.
