FOLLOW ALONG

Last Time Out

Portland struck early and often on Halloween night, jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the first period and cruising to a 6-2 win over Prince George. Nathan Free, Carter Sotheran, Finn Spehar, Jake Gustafson, Reed Brown, and Alex Weiermair all found the back of the net, while the Cougars' middle frame push wasn't enough to slow the Hawks' dominant performance.

Dia de los Muertos

The Portland Winterhawks invite you to celebrate Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum tonight! Join us as we take on the Kamloops Blazers in a day filled with music and commemoration. Here's what to expect:

Ofrenda: A traditional altar intended to welcome the spirits of the departed loved ones. The ofrenda usually include pictures, special items, and flower arrangements to welcome the spirits back to the living world.

Mariachi: The Woodburn High School Mariachi Band - the first high school mariachi band in Oregon - will perform the Star Spangled Banner pregame, and on the concourse during the second intermission.

Ballet: Ballet Papalotl is an Oregon youth bi-cultural dance troupe founded in 2003. The group will perform traditional Mexican folklore dance during the first intermission! Papalotl means butterfly in the Aztec language.

Activities: In addition to the incredible performers on hand at Veterans Memorial Coliseum, the Winterhawks will also have face painting and coloring stations around the arena during the game!

La Catrina: An essential icon of the celebration, originally conceived by José Guadalupe Posada and popularized by Diego Rivera. Over time, it has solidified its place as a central symbol of the Day of the Dead. The La Catrina will be outside the arena on the commons for fans to see upon arrival.

The Día de los Muertos game will also feature special merchandise from César Rodriquez. Rodríguez is a graphic designer specializing in brand identity. He was born in 1986 in the city of Querétaro, Mexico, where he currently lives.

Blazers Beat

The Winterhawks and Blazers meet for the second time this season after Portland's 6-4 win in Kamloops on October 4, led by four-point nights from Max Pšenička and Jordan Duguay. Former Winterhawks' defencemen Kayd Ruedig returns to the Glass Palace for the first time since being traded to the Blazers on October 20. Kamloops enters the evening with a 6-7-1-1 record, sitting fifth in the B.C. Division and struggling on the road with just two wins in eight away games. Rookie forward JP Hulbert leads the WHL with 28 points, ranking fourth in goals (11) and third in assists (17).
