Thanks to the OCN Junior Chief and Council, fans will have an opportunity to get the 2026–27 hockey season started with a tailgate party ahead of the OCN Storm’s first puck drop of the season.

 

The event will get underway at 5:00 p.m. in the GLMC parking lot, giving fans a chance to gather before heading inside for the Storm’s home opener.

 

Hot dogs and drinks will be available for those in attendance, while fans will also have the opportunity to meet some of the Storm players and collect autographs. Face painting and other activities will be offered throughout the event.

 

The tailgate will provide an opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate the return of hockey before the Storm officially open their season.

 

More details surrounding OCN’s home-opening weekend are expected to be released in the coming days.

 

As a reminder, both Saturday and Sunday’s games will be free to attend.
