UTICA, NY - Hockey returns to the Mohawk Valley this fall as the Utica Comets officially announce their 2025-26 Home Opener. The Comets will face off against the Cleveland Monsters on Friday, October 10th at 7:00 PM at the Adirondack Bank Center.

The game marks the first full season under head coach Ryan Parent, who took over behind the bench last season and helped guide the Comets through a strong finish. His leadership and defensive mindset have sparked excitement heading into the new campaign.

Also returning is Comets captain Ryan Schmelzer, a cornerstone of the franchise and a fan favorite. Schmelzer enters the season just two goals shy of becoming the franchise leader in every major scoring category, a testament to his consistency, leadership, and impact on the organization.
