By: Dana Grey, Cincinnati Cyclones
CINCINNATI, OH – The Cincinnati Cyclones, along with the ECHL, have released the 2024-25 regular season schedule.
Cincinnati begins the 72-game slate on the road against Kalamazoo on Saturday October 19th. The Cyclones then return to the Heritage Bank Center ice for “First Faceoff” the next weekend on Saturday October 26th when they host the Indy Fuel. This marks the first of nine Saturday night home games for the ‘Clones who are scheduled to play 25 of the 36 home games on weekend dates (13 on Friday, 9 on Saturday and 3 on Sunday). Cincinnati will host three Sunday matinee contests downtown this season.
The Cyclones are slated to play a whopping 60 of their 72 regular season games against Central Division opponents, including six contests against the Bloomington Bison in their inaugural season. Cincinnati faces off with the ECHL’s newest club for the first time on Friday November 1st inside the Heritage Bank Center.
For the third straight-season, Toledo is Cincinnati’s most frequent opponent. The Cyclones will matchup against their in-state rival 12 times this upcoming year and play seven of those games on home ice. Cincy welcomes divisional opponents to town for several marquee matchups over the course of the season: Field Trip Day (Tuesday Nov. 12th vs. Kalamazoo), Thanksgiving Eve (Wednesday Nov. 27th vs. Kalamazoo), Black Friday (Friday Nov. 29th vs. Wheeling), New Year’s Eve (Tuesday Dec. 31st vs. Toledo) and Fan Appreciation Weekend (Friday April 4th vs. Kalamazoo and Saturday April 5th vs. Toledo).
Cincinnati squares off against seven exciting out-of-division opponents this coming regular season. The Cyclones travel to Norfolk for a three-game set in December to take on the Admirals for the first time since February 2023. January brings a swing into the South Division with a lone contest in Savannah against the Ghost Pirates and then a pair in Atlanta with the Gladiators. Inside the Heritage Bank Center, Cyclones fans will get a look at the Utah Grizzlies and Maine Mariners for the second-straight year and see Adirondack, Greenville, Kansas City and Wichita on home ice for solo contests.
The ‘Clones will enjoy a season-long eight-game homestand from January 20th against the Walleye extending to February 7th against the Mavericks. Cincinnati will conclude the 2024-25 regular season with its longest road trip of the year, playing four consecutively on the road.
