The Hartford Wolf Pack today unveiled the promotional schedule for the upcoming 2025-26 season, the club’s 29th in the Connecticut capital.

Additionally, the club announced that single game tickets for the 2025-26 season will go on sale on Monday, Sept. 15, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Tickets can be purchased at www.hartfordwolfpack.com.

The home schedule kicks off with the club’s annual Home Opener on Friday, Oct. 17, 2025, against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. The night will feature $2 hot dogs and $2 drafts until the end of the first intermission, and a magnetic schedule giveaway courtesy of Pepsi.

Once again, the Wolf Pack will wear a pair of specialty jerseys during the 2025-26 season. The first jersey will be worn on Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2025, against the Bridgeport Islanders and Friday, Jan. 2, 2026, against the Providence Bruins.

The retro style uniform is a nod to the Wolf Pack’s storied past during the 90th Anniversary season of the AHL.

The club will also wear specialty jerseys on Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026, against the Toronto Marlies as part of ‘Glow Night’ at PeoplesBank Arena.

In addition to the Home Opener’s magnetic schedule giveaway, the Wolf Pack will host numerous giveaway nights during the 2025-26 season.

Included in this season’s giveaways are a Wolf Pack ‘Peanuts’ blanket on Nov. 22, a puck plushy on Dec. 5, a PeoplesBank Arena replica on Dec. 19, a 2026 Wolf Pack team calendar on Dec. 31, a vinyl player figurine on Jan. 2, emo beanie on Feb. 20, and a Sonar wobbler on Mar. 6.

$2 drafts and $2 hot dogs are back for the 2025-26 season! This recurring promotion is available at PeoplesBank Arena during every Friday night home game.

The CTDOT Family Value Pack is once again available for select dates, allowing fans the ability to purchase three tickets, three hot dogs, and three fountain drinks in the red or blue sections. This package will be available for the games on Oct. 24, Nov. 14, Nov. 26, Dec. 31, and Mar. 29

DJ Meechie is back at PeoplesBank Arena for the 2025-26 season! DJ Meechie will be performing during select home games during the season, playing music both leading up to and during the game.

Pregame autographs also return during the 2025-26 season! Join us before every Wednesday night home game at PeoplesBank Arena on the concourse where up to two Wolf Pack players will be signing autographs for fans!

Specific timing and players will be announced day of the game on Wolf Pack social media channels.

The Wolf Pack will host four postgame events featuring players during the 2025-26 season. Fans will get a chance to once again skate with some of their favorite Wolf Pack players following the games on Oct. 22 and Jan. 24. Fans will get a chance to take photos with available players following the game on Jan. 28, while postgame autographs will occur on Nov. 1.

The club will also be hosting a live jersey auction on Saturday, Nov. 15. That night, the club will auction off the specialty warmup ‘Hockey Fights Cancer’ jerseys. All proceeds from this jersey raffle will go to the American Cancer Society.

Specific details regarding the auction will be released at a later date.
