Well- that was a heck of a couple of games wasn’t it Bears Nation? If you watched both games, it probably felt like riding on one of the roller coasters across the road at Hersheypark. Up and downs all over…
It was the main event of Saturday evening in the sweetest place on Earth: the pivotal game twobetween the Hershey Bears and the Cleveland Monsters. Up 1-0 in the series, the Bears aimed tocapitalize on a 2-0 start to this…
How much fun was game one at Giant Center? Pretty awesome, right?
I mean a Mike Vecchione game winning goal in OT is pretty much as storybook ending as storybook endings can go for the Hershey Bears. The man just has so much confidence in high pressure situations.
After playing seven games in a span of 40 days, the Hershey Bears were back in action Thursday
night when they squared off against the Cleveland Monsters at Giant Center. Thousands of Bears
fans descended upon the sweetest place on Earth, bringing immaculate vibes and their cheering
voices to make home ice a hostile environment.
Before we drop the puck on the Eastern Conference Finals we caught up with a few Bears after a skate to get their thoughts on facing the Cleveland Monsters in their seven game series.

Over the past three years, Hershey Bears fans have had an up-close look at who Jake Massie is. We already know that he's an awesome guy away from the ice, and that belief was cemented when the Bears nominated him for…
Well, well, well. Would you look at that. The Bears, for the second year in a row, will square off
in a best-of-seven Eastern Conference Finals. The opponent? The North Division’s top seed, the
Cleveland Monsters – the AHL affiliate of the Columbus Blue Jackets.
This is not a flashback to last year. Once again the Hershey Bears have swept the Hartford Wolf Pack in the Division finals, winning game three 4-1 and taking the series 3-0.
Caps Prospects Have A Long History of Impacting Calder Cup Runs
I have been a Hershey Bears fan for as long as I can remember. In fact, it’s fair to say I’ve been a fan as long as I’ve been alive, even attending a few games as an infant at the Old Barn in the 2001-02 season. And throughout my life, I have gotten the chance to watch some incredible prospects come through Chocolatetown and make huge impacts on Calder Cup runs.
If someone with zero knowledge of hockey were to walk into Giant Center Saturday night during the third period, without even a glimpse of the ice or scoreboard, they would know what was taking place. With just under nine minutes to go between the Bears and Wolf Pack, a jacked crowd of 10,714 chanted “You poked the Bear!”, as Hershey was en route to their second win of the series. At the very least, it serves as a warning to not only Hartford in game three of the series, but to the potential opponents for Hershey later in this playoff run: Don’t poke the Bear.
