Thank you for a wonderful 2017-18 Walleye season

So many great moments, and so many great memories were made! Thank you for helping to make the 2017-18 Toledo Walleye season one for the ages.

Our support continues to grow, as the Toledo Walleye set new team attendance marks:

  • Most sellouts in a single season (28)
  • Highest total attendance for a single season (273,613)
  • Highest average attendance per game (7,600)

Add in two home playoff sellouts and 35,916 fans for five home playoff games, and our season attendance topped the 300,000 mark!

Thanks also to everyone who participated in our fundraisers, helping to raise more than $152,000 for various charities. That included our theme night jersey auctions and raffles:

  • Star Wars: $13,150 - Charity partner: The Ability Center of Greater Toledo
  • Harry Potter: $28,150 – Charity partner: Adopt America Network
  • Goaldiggers: $36,191 – Charity partners: City Mission of Findlay, Girl Scouts of Western Ohio, Epilepsy Center of NW Ohio
  • Zombie: $32,925 – Charity partner: American Red Cross of NW Ohio

In total, we provided more than $375,000 to local charities!
