The first preseason game is September 20. Camps should start in about a month, and players have already been spotted skating in Balston. But as usual, the dates for camp are still a secret.


First regular season game is October 2, and as usual with that, it looks like nascar helped plan the schedule.

I haven’t been to a race since they stopped racing at night in Richmond. I don’t really miss it. That was a $300 day after buying a ticket to the race.

I've been to funny car races and had a blast, but not 3 hours long of sitting in the sun as a ginger...


although, if they introduced body-checking...

Yea, I remember the marathon races in the summer sun! lol Used to not bother me, but I've not been to a "nascar" race in years either.. Not due to heat though, just because Nascar lost the plot.. But it's in my blood, so can't NOT watch on Tv. Local short tracks is where you get your feet wet and find the fix!!  :P


Haven't been to the Drags since moving to Fl, nearly 30 years ago..  :(

I learned the hard way attending NHRA that I need to use sunblock on my head.
