TORONTO - The Toronto Marlies will welcome fans for a special Thanksgiving Day Home Opener game against the Cleveland Monsters on Monday, October 8. The 3 p.m. game will kick off the club's 2018-2019 season at the newly named Coca-Cola Coliseum.

All fans attending Home Opener will witness the unveiling of the Calder Cup banner, receive a one-of-a-kind, limited-edition commemorative Coca-Cola Coliseum cup and a free fountain beverage at the game. Following the Thanksgiving Day Home Opener, fans are also encouraged to attend other Home Opener Week games, where there will be a championship ring giveaway for the first 5,000 fans on October 13 and a magnetic schedule giveaway on October 14.

For every Marlies home game during the 2018-2019 season at Coca-Cola Coliseum, Coca-Cola will donate a suite of seats to non-profit community organizations. Coca-Cola will also open the arena to the public for several community skate events throughout the upcoming 2018-2019 season. Fans are invited to come to the first community skate day at Coca-Cola Coliseum on October 21, from 1 p.m. until 6 p.m., and to check out the arena with special guests Duke and Carlton the Bear.

"Coca-Cola has been part of this wonderful city since our first Canadian bottling plant opened in the west end in 1906, and we are excited to be a part of its history once again with the first official Toronto Marlies game being held at the new Coca-Cola Coliseum," Said Michael Samoszewski, Vice-President of Marketing with Coca-Cola Ltd. "We are thrilled to welcome the community into the Coliseum for every home game, for our upcoming free skate, and to offer local community organizations the opportunity to attend a game and cheer on our Toronto Marlies this season!"
