ALBANY, NY -- The Albany Devils announced today their 2013-14 promotional schedule, which begins during Saturday's Home Opener against the Utica Comets at 5:05 pm. The first 5,000 fans will receive a free Albany Devils magnetic schedule, courtesy of Albany Clothing and Promotions.

"Our promotional calendar is so exciting, not only for our fans, but for our staff," said Devils' CEO Christopher Ciceri. "We get to step back and see the flow of the entire season. Two goals in putting together the schedule are to make a difference in the Capital Region community and to add value for our fans.

"Just because we are announcing the schedule today, doesn't mean we are done striving for those goals. We are still in the final stages of securing larger promotional nights for later in the season."
