Gutter Snipes are next

This weekend, the East Coast Gutter Snipes players and entourage compromising up to 40 people will invade Campion Ice House to revive a series that has become one of the most popular and most competitive of all Suns home encounters.

Expected are 17 Gutter Snipes players ages 26-58 (average age 38). Game times are 7:15 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Jan. 20-21. Sellouts are expected. Hailey Ice is the benefit.

Last January, the Gutter Snipes dominated the Suns 7-2 and 8-6 as 11 different East Coast players scored goals and the Snipes outpointed the Suns 39-15 on the scoresheet.

Movie director Bobby Farrelly’s Snipes improved their advantage to 19-13-0 in the 16-season, 32-game rivalry dating back to 2006. The Snipes maintain a 193-175 scoring edge in the series and have now won three straight games. The Suns last prevailed 5-4 back in 2020.
