Hershey Bears 2013-14 Schedule Released
The Hershey Bears schedule is finally out. The first game is just 45 days away, but the delay wasn’t the Bears fault. The AHL has a handful of teams that play in NBA arenas, so the league had to wait until the NBA schedule was complete.
The Bears schedule keeps Hershey close to home for most of the season. Other than one trip to St. John’s and Charlotte, the Bears don’t have any long road journey’s. There are also no new teams coming to Giant Center this year. It’s the usual suspects.
The season starts with only three home games in October due to the auto show coming to Hershey. But the pace steps up with eight home games in November.
After the Bears road trip to Charlotte in mid-November, the farthest Hershey has to travel is Adirondack until their trip to Rochester at the start of February.
The highlights include the home opener on Saturday October 5 vs. Albany, the traditional night before Thanksgiving game vs St. John’s, a 2pm start on Super Bowl Sunday vs Norfolk. The final game of the year at home is on April 19 vs Adirondack.
The road schedule is highlighted by two games in Atlantic City vs Albany, another game at Verizon Center in Washington vs Syracuse, and a game vs Adirondack in Philadelphia.
Hershey will play host to two special start times on Sunday with games with 4pm start times on March 2nd and 16th.
The entire schedule is listed below:
