NM Ice Wolves break out the turquoise
Local hockey team will wear specialty jerseys throughout January
The NAHL New Mexico Ice Wolves are back home at the Outpost Ice Arenas hosting the Odessa Jackalopes at 6:30 p.m. this Friday and Saturday.

On Friday, the team welcomes Wa-Pi the wolf dog from the Wanagi Wolf Fund & Rescue as its honorary mascot for the night. Fans will have the chance to meet Wa-Pi during the game and learn more about the foundation from its founder, Stephanie Kaylan.
On Saturday, the team will hold a skate with the players following the game.
