Tozer could secure his 700th career coaching victory Sunday

MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Wave will look to give head coach Keith Tozer his 700th career coaching victory Sunday afternoon at the U.S. Cellular Arena as the Wave play host to Syracuse for the first time in franchise history.

In the only previous meeting between the two clubs on Jan. 13 in upstate New York, Milwaukee shook off a slow start that saw them trailing 8-7 at the half to take down the Silver Knights 15-12. Marco Terminesi notched six points with one 3-points goal, one 2-point goal and an assist while captain Greg Howes slotted home the game-winner in the third minute of the final quarter.

Syracuse will make its maiden voyage into Milwaukee on Sunday in hopes of busting out of a five game slump. The Silver Knights suffered a franchise worst 21 point loss at the hands of Missouri, giving up a league high 33 points in the contest, the most points allowed in the MISL since Rockford put 34 in against Philadelphia on Mar. 14, 2010.

Man arrested after lingering suspiciously in number of Fox Point businesses

A man was arrested in Fox Point after lingering suspiciously in a number of businesses.

Police arrested 30-year-old Michael Hurst in the River Point Village Tuesday morning. He was caught trying to pry open a register in a nearby salon, and trying to sneak into the back room of a beauty supply store.

At the Great Clips, employees caught him rummaging through the pockets of a customer's coat. "There was no notice he was here. Just all of a sudden he appeared here and my customer, I was cutting his hair, all of a sudden he said to me, 'this guy is going through my jacket pockets,' and I said 'what do you mean?' And I turned and here he is, and he was going through his pockets," Joy Booth with Great Clips said.

The 9th Annual Ice Sculpting Competition takes place tomorrow, Friday, January 20 during Winter Gallery Night and Day. Artists have eight hours to carve their creations out of a 300 pound block of ice!

Sculpting takes place at Catalano Square (where Broadway and Menomonee meet) from 10am to 6pm. Judging begins promptly at 6pm. Winners will be announced at 7pm at Club Charlies (320 E. Menomonee St.).

This year's theme is Summertime... and the Living is Easy. We hope the thought of summer will help keep the carvers warm and dry. The weather forecast indicates a temperature of 18 degrees and 2-5 inches of snow!  

We encourage you to stop by Catalano Square and watch the sculptors at work. It is amazing to watch a 300 pound block of ice be carved into a work of art!
