Worcester Railers HC News Release


WORCESTER, Mass. - The Worcester Railers Hockey Club (@RailersHC), proud ECHL (@ECHL) affiliate of the New York Islanders (@NYIslanders) has partnered with Worcester Public Schools (WPS) to host a family-friendly Halloween celebration at the DCU Center. The Halloweekend Game will take place on Friday, October 31, when the Railers face off against the Reading Royals at 7:05 p.m. (doors open at 6:00 p.m.).

Through the partnership, Worcester Public Schools students will receive a complimentary ticket (with the purchase of at least one adult ticket) to enjoy a night of hockey and Halloween fun. Families are encouraged to arrive early for Trick O' Treat on the Concourse, featuring tables hosted by local non-profit organizations distributing candy and giveaways in a safe, indoor setting.

"This is a fun and safe way to celebrate Halloween and trick-or-treat, especially for those who may live in areas that are less walkable or have higher traffic," said Chief Operating Officer Michael G. Myers. "It's all the fun of Halloween, while also getting to enjoy a Railers game. This is another extension of our community-first approach and a great way to welcome Worcester residents to a game at the DCU Center."
