The Ice Bears coaching staff will get a good look at returning players and potential new players during the team’s three exhibition games. The team will take on the Twin City Cyclones at home on Friday, October 17 at 7:30 p.m. The Ice Bears will then travel to Twin City on Saturday, October 18 for a road game before returning for the final pre-season game at home against the Richmond Renegades on Sunday, October 19 at 5:00 p.m. Tickets to the home exhibition games are on sale now and are only $7 each.

"We are very excited to begin another great hockey season here in Knoxville!! With the success of winning two Championships in the last three seasons we have been equally successful in providing optimum value and a fun, family friendly experience for all ages, and that to us where we want to be as an organization overall for the City of Knoxville"
