Killer Bee Hockey ---- The Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees of the Central Hockey League, under the leadership of General Manager and Head Coach Terry Ruskowski are happy to announce their first signing 2011-12 campaign. The Killer Bees have retained the services of defenseman Kyle Radke for the 2011-12 season.

Radke was one of the key members of the Killer Bees defense last season appearing in 62 games before an injury sidelined him for the playoffs. A highly-skilled, stay-at-home defensemen Radke also added four goals and 12 assists while racking up 171 penalty minutes.

“Playing against Kyle was never fun for me last season. He is a good skater, gritty in the corners, and very responsible defensively. I think Kyle will only continue to get better with his second year with the Killer Bees,” said Bees coach Terry Ruskowski.

Radke’s best offensive performance last season came December 21st against Laredo where Radke assisted on three of the Killer Bees goals. At the end of the season Radke was awarded the Fan Favorite Award as voted by the fans in arena and online.

“I’m looking forward to the Valley cooling off a bit so that we can play hockey again. It will be good to see the faces that became so familiar to around the rink last year,” said Radke.
