Thank you an amazing tenth season of Walleye hockey

Season number 10 is in the books, and the Toledo Walleye have reached new heights once again thanks to you!

The team tied or set 17 Walleye records during the 2018-19 season, including season attendance, most sellouts, and longest win streak.

General Manager Neil Neukam says it was a season to remember with tremendous community support. “We started our tenth season by recognizing those FINatics who have been here since day one of Walleye Hockey. Hosting the ECHL All-Star Weekend was such a great showcase for Toledo, including 1,200 people who attended our Hall of Fame luncheon to recognize those who helped make Toledo such a great hockey city. Our playoff run was so exciting with such an electric atmosphere at the Huntington Center. What a season it’s been”.   

As the Walleye came within one game of reaching the Kelly Cup Finals, the Huntington Center was sold out for 7 of the 9 home playoff games, with total attendance of 64,104, for an average of 7,113 fans per contest: tops in the ECHL!

The Walleye now have more FINatics than ever, with 2,647 Game Plan Members. More groups are also attending Walleye games, as the team set a new group ticket sales mark this season with 77,139 group tickets, and we sold out our rental party suites by January. (Now’s the time to organize a group outing for next season because we already have 10,000 group tickets sold for 2019-20!)

Thank you again and we can’t wait to get season number 11 underway!
