A Look at the Monsters 2015-16 Schedule

Yesterday the Lake Erie Monsters released their 76-game schedule for the 2015-16 season. This will be an exciting ninth season for the Monsters as this is the first season they are affiliated with the Columbus Blue Jackets.

First Game

The first game of the Monsters season takes place on the road against the Rochester Americans on October 9th. This will be the second year in a row the season opens on the road for the club.

October 9th is the home opener for the clubs affiliate the Columbus Blue Jackets. We will keep you updated on where you can watch the Monsters game as Fox Sports will most likely be airing the Jackets game in the Cleveland area.

Home Opener

The Iowa Wild get the pleasure of helping the Monsters open the hockey season at Quicken Loans Arena on October 16th. Game time is set for 7pm.

According to the Monsters website there is a special offer for opening night tickets.

Traffic Woes

Quicken Loans Arena is home to multiple sports teams and there are times when two teams will play on the same day. Those days you will either need to leave a bit earlier to get to the game or find another place to park after the game if you plan on doing something afterwards. The Monsters share Quicken Loans with another team four times this season.
