The Knoxville Ice Bears will be holding tryouts for the 2008-2009 Hunnies promotional dance team. The team has several spots open for the upcoming season, and auditions will take place on Saturday, April 26th at The Rush at Knoxville Center Mall, located at 3001 Knoxville Center Drive, from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.

The Hunnies promotional dance team is an integral part of the Knoxville Ice Bears organization. This group of local women perform during home games, interact with the fans, and participate in community service projects. The Hunnies have been entertaining fans at Ice Bears games since 2004, and are sponsored by Hardee’s and Hot 104.5.

“Being a Hunnie is a unique opportunity. It is not only a lot of fun, but it gives you an opportunity to be a role model to girls that attend the games and to give back to our community. We are looking for young women who are more than just performers,” said captain Erica Wilkerson. Wilkerson is also an elementary school teacher at a local school.
