The team will be home both Friday and Saturday (October 22-23) of that weekend to kick the season off. Opponents, along with times for games will be announced at a later date, though fans can expect a regionalized schedule featuring a large number of games against the rival-Quad City Storm and Evansville Thunderbolts, along with the SPHL's newest franchise, the Vermilion County Bobcats.
