Ready For Hockey? Colorado Eagles Opening Weekend Is Here
As the temps drop around Colorado, that signifies more than the fall season... It means that hockey is back and the Colorado Eagles Opening Weekend is finally here. Here's what's going on this weekend at the Blue Arena.
Colorado Eagles Kick Off Their 2024-25 Season Friday, October 11th
It feels like we just turned off the lights at the Blue Arena after that heartbreaking loss in the 2024 Calder Cup Playoffs. Summer flew by in a flash, but now that fall is officially here, that means Colorado hockey is back, and the boys start their new journey to their first Calder Cup Championship this weekend.
The Colorado Eagles are set to kick off their season this Friday night at the Blue Arena as they take on the division rivals, Tucson Roadrunners. Opening weekend was originally planned for next weekend, but the AHL hockey Gods blessed us with an extra weekend of home ice hockey, and one of the earliest starts to an Eagles season in years.
