Here Is What You Need To Know About The Binghamton Black Bears Home Opener
It's something that I've been waiting for and it's going to be back after a year and a half wait. My daughter, Tara asked me last week when the hockey season would begin because she can't wait to back to the games.
After being away for so long, she realized how much she loves hockey and can't wait to go back with her friends. The wait is over and Saturday, November 6th at the Visons Veterans Memorial Arena, professional hockey comes back home to the Southern Tier when the Binghamton Black Bears have their first home game of the season.

Opening night will be a party that you won't want to miss when the Delaware Thunder comes to town. The pregame party on Saturday begins at the Stone Fox at 2:30 p.m. with an appearance by head coach Rod Davidson and the mascot from 4 to 5 p.m.
The party shifts to the Arena with music from Wreckless Marci beginning at 5:30 p.m. until the puck drops. Don't forget that if you are a youngster who plays with the Southern Tier Hockey Association, the Binghamton Blizzard, or the Ice House Hawks, you can get a free season ticket for the Binghamton Black Bears games.
