Hockey Season Kicking Off With The Railers This Weekend In Worcester

WORCESTER, MA—Pro ice hockey kicks off, officially, on Saturday when the Railers take on the Manchester Monarchs at the DCU Center.

Opening night starts at 6 p.m. on Oct. 14 with the first 10,000 fans getting a magnet schedule and glow in the dark bracelet to wear during the pre-game festivities, which includes a light show and pyrotechnics. Three fans have the opportunity to participate in "shoot to win" for a chance to win a car courtesy of Prime Ford of Auburn during the second intermission. Visit Prime Ford of Auburn before opening night to register.

The puck drops at 7:05 p.m. after a performance of the National Anthem.

“The Railers can’t wait to show off all the hard work we have done over the last 18 plus months to be ready for October 14,” said Railers HC President Mike Myers in a statement. “Our goal is to provide a hockey experience unlike anything seen in Worcester before, and I am confident that we will deliver on that promise."

The Railers Tavern, located behind the DCU Center, will be open for business before opening night.
Any group that reserves a block of tickets of 50 or more for opening night will receive two tickets to meet Hockey Hall of Famer Bobby Orr and former Boston Bruins fan favorite Derek Sanderson during a private meet and greet before the Railers home game on Nov. 11.
