The calendar is very close to turning from August to September, and for hockey fans, that means a new season is nearly upon us.
While some Red Wings are participating in informal skates and practices and others are returning to Detroit, the Griffins are also getting ready for the 2015-16 season. The preseason schedule was released a couple of weeks ago, and today the AHL released the regular season schedule. The Griffins have posted their schedule, and here are some highlights:
- The Griffins will open on the road in California. Opening night will be October 9th in Bakersfield. They will also end the season against Bakersfield at home.
- The home opener is October 16th against the Rampage.
- There will be 26 prime home dates (Friday or Saturday) over the course of the season. /
