It's FINALLY Hockey Time in Party Town when your Waterloo Black Hawks kickoff the regular season against Des Moines on Saturday, September 27th at 6:35 pm, presented by Rydell Chevrolet! Doors open to season ticket holders at 5:05 pm and to single game ticket buyers at 5:35 pm.
The defending USHL Western Conference Champions take the ice for the first time as the team aims to bring the Clark Cup back to Waterloo! It's "Welcome Scott Gordon Day" as we introduce the new head coach of the Black Hawks. Gordon reached the NHL as a goaltender for the Quebec Nordiques and has been a hockey coach since 1994. In that time, he led the New York Islanders (2008 to 2010) and the Philadelphia Flyers (2018 to 2019), as well as three stints guiding Team USA during the IIHF Men's World Championships.
Be sure to stop by SingleSpeed Brewing next to Young Arena for a huge pregame party from 4:30 pm to 6:30! Sign up for prizes, giveaways and more while enjoying live music from Jacob "Light the Lampman!"
Fans 21+ can take advantage of $4 Busch Light Tallboys through the end of the first period! Fireball will also be available in The Cold Zone for just $3 (while supplies last).
Join us for our first Signature Saturday of the season. Two Black Hawks players will be signing autographs after the game just outside of Party Town Outfitters on the east concourse.
Excited for free Chick-fil-A nuggets? Be sure to download the Chick-fil-A app on your mobile device in order to take advantage of free nuggets when the Hawks score 4 goals this season.
