About this event
First Face-Off is the Cincinnati Cyclones' celebration of hockey coming back to the Queen City, with the Bloomington Bison visiting Heritage Bank Center. It is an ECHL game with a themed night built around cheap concessions. Fans are encouraged to turn up in Cyclones gear.
Who's playing
The Cincinnati Cyclones are the city's ECHL team and play their home games downtown at Heritage Bank Center. The Bloomington Bison are the visitors from Illinois, and this is a league game between the two clubs.
What to expect
This is a promotional night as well as a game. The arena is running $2 hot dogs, $2 sodas and $2 beers for First Face-Off. The team is asking for a full building and plenty of noise, so expect a lively crowd and a lot of Cyclones jerseys.
Why go
It is a good way to see minor league hockey in Cincinnati at a low cost, with the concession deals making it easy to bring a group or kids. The night also marks hockey's return to the arena, which gives the crowd extra energy.
