It's hard to believe that what started on October 6th is now over.  The inaugural season of Monsters hockey at The Q came to a close on Saturday when the Monsters hosted the Hamilton Bulldogs.

Lake Erie fans have been the best in the business, and we wanted to end our season by expressing our appreciation for a year full of support.  So on Saturday, we said a "Monster Thank You!" 

As a part of Fan Appreciation Night, presented by UPS, we gave away thousands of prizes throughout the game.  Everything from gift cards, to hotel stays, even a Cub Cadet tractor was up for grabs!

Plus, we literally gave our fans the shirts off our backs.  Or jerseys, to be more specific!  Lucky fans received the game-worn jerseys straight off the players' backs during a postgame on-ice ceremony. 

What a way to end our inaugural season!

A "Monster Thank You" to Our Partners! The Monsters would like to thank the following organizations for their participation in Fan Appreciation Night, and for helping us wish a "Monster Thank You" to our fans:
