Fans in attendance for opening night will be part of local hockey history and experience a very special night of excitement and hockey action. The Monsters will drop the puck for the first time and fans will enjoy the same high-energy entertainment that has become synonymous with Cavalier games and all sporting events at The Q. The night will feature the new lights-out team introductions, as well as the debut of the Monsters’ mascot. More details regarding exclusive opening night activities and promotions will be announced at a later date.

“We’re excited to finally have a date for the Monsters to lace ’em up at The Q,” said Monsters President Kerry Bubolz. "It's going to be an action-packed celebration of hockey like the region has never experienced before."
