Road Warriors vs. Cincinnati Cyclones

High School Face Off

The next night is High School Faceoff, where high school students of the Upstate will battle it out for bragging rights to see which school can draw the biggest crowd. We will also be honoring the Greenville North High School Hockey Team, who have just recently won the South Carolina State Championship, and are going on to represent the state in the National Championship in Chicago March 23-27. This is also a Spinx Friday Family Four Pack, where you can purchase four gold-level tickets, four hot dogs, four bags of chips, four pretzels, and four fountain drinks for just $48 (normally a $83 value)! Six select players will also be raising money to benefit the St. Baldrick's Foundation fundraising challenge. Donations will be collected on the concourse from fans, and the player with the most money raised will have their head shaved in support of the cause (all funds raised by St. Baldrick's Foundation benefits childhood cancer research).

Saturday, March 19th at 7:05pm

Road Warriors vs. Cincinnati Cyclones

Stork Night

The Road Warriors will end the 3-game series against Cincinnati by honoring our head coach Dean Stork, who helped lead the Cyclones to win the Kelly Cup last year as assistant coach. Coach Stork will be presented with his Championship Ring that evening, along with Jimmy Kilpatrick who played on the winning team. Also, the green St. Patrick's-themed jerseys that the players will be wearing for 3 games in a row will be up for grabs at a live auction immediately following the game. Fans can bid live on their favorite player's jersey worn at all three games and the winning bidders get to take the jersey home right off of the player's back!
