Laval est Rocket - It's the start of the new season

No one needs a reason to go see the Rocket. The team alone is enough to make you want to go to a game! Still, the new season is likely to be pretty interesting and, because it's always good to be reminded why we love something so much, here are a few reasons to buy your season tickets. Get them now!

A (big) newcomer to the team

The Rocket welcomes goaltender Luke Cavallin. The 23-year-old, 6'2", 196 lb. right-hander posted a 3-4-2 record with the Toronto Marlies in the AHL last season. He posted a 3.01 goals-against average and a 0.884 save percentage over the same period. Sounds promising!

And let the season begin!

The season kicks off on October 11 with a live game from Providence against the Bruins. The home opener, presented by Bell, takes place on October 18 against the Syracuse Crunch. It's sure to be a memorable evening, highlighted by the Concert Series presented by Coca-Cola. In fact, to buy your tickets, it's here.

A rich calendar of events

The Rocket likes to score hat-tricks, and that's no doubt why they offer their fans special activities that combine the excitement of the games with the talent of the players. Here, in bulk, are a few dates not to be missed:

• October 25: Rocktoberfest

Many reasons to attend the games

Going to see the Rocket is much more than supporting a local field hockey team or showing partisanship. It's a way of participating in the socio-economic life of the region. Last season, the Rocket gave $150,000 back to the Laval community. Over 800 students took part in Plaisir de lire avec le Rocket activities, an initiative designed to encourage reading among elementary and high school students. The team also organized two visits to hospitals and a rehabilitation center, as well as a food drive organized by players and their spouses. And let's not forget the blood drive held at Place Bell which was a great success, with over 500 donors.

Attending Rocket games also means contributing to important causes and supporting local initiatives that make a real difference. It's also an opportunity to come together as a community. Go! Be part of it.

Two for one

While you're at Place Bell to watch a Rocket game, take the opportunity to feast at one of the many establishments all around. Whether you're in the mood for a gourmet meal, comfort food or a quick snack, there's a variety of choices to satisfy every culinary craving. Take advantage of the lively atmosphere to get you pumped up before the game or to end the evening on a festive note.
