Bullfrogs Announce 10 Games at Pond

The Bullfrogs’ first game in their new professional in-line hockey league will be played against an old foe, the Buffalo Wings, at 7:30 p.m. June 12 at the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim.

Owner Maury Silver released the Bullfrogs’ 10-game Major League Roller Hockey home schedule Thursday and it is highlighted by the showdown of former Roller Hockey International stalwarts and a June 26 encounter with defending MLRH champion Washington.

The Bullfrogs won RHI titles in 1993 and 1997. Buffalo, formerly known as the Stampede, took the 1994 RHI title. RHI is on hiatus this summer but has announced that it will return in 1999. The Bullfrogs and Wings switched affiliations in March.

The Bullfrogs’ road schedule is expected to include two five-game swings through the East Coast July 12-21 and July 23-Aug. 7, but the details have not been completed, according to Silver. League playoffs begin Aug. 15.

The home schedule (all games 7:30 p.m. unless noted):

June 12--Buffalo; 14--Columbus (6 p.m.); 20--New Jersey; 26--Washington; 28--Charlotte (6 p.m.).

July 8--New York; 11--Washington; 22--Virginia.

Aug. 8--South Carolina; 13--Orlando.
