Hold onto your helmets, Tahoe hockey fans, the Knight Monsters are charging back onto the ice for their sophomore season, and they’re not messing around. After a killer debut that saw them snag a playoff berth and sweep their first-round matchup, this ECHL team is ready to prove they’re more than just a rookie sensation.

Opening Knight Promises Playoff Intensity

Mark your calendars for October 17, 2025, when the Knight Monsters kick off their 72-game season against the Idaho Steelheads. This isn’t just another game, it’s a statement. Fresh off their impressive first-year performance, the team is bringing serious energy and some new rivals to the rink.

This season introduces five fresh challengers to the mix: the Greensboro Gargoyles, Savannah Ghost Pirates, Bloomington Bison, Toledo Walleye, and Cincinnati Cyclones. Talk about a lineup that sounds more like a fantasy hockey draft than a regional league.

Revenge and Mountain Division Domination

Fans will want to circle January 23, 2026, on their calendars. That’s when the Knight Monsters face the Kansas City Mavericks, the team that bounced them from last season’s playoffs. This isn’t just a game; it’s a grudge match with hockey vengeance written all over it.

With a robust home schedule featuring 30 games and 27 away matches, the Knight Monsters are strategically positioned to defend their Mountain Division reputation. Last season’s impressive 31-19-3-2 record sets a high bar, and these guys aren’t planning on dropping the puck without a fight.

For die-hard fans and casual observers alike, 1,645 season tickets are up for grabs. Whether you’re looking to secure your spot or organize a group outing, the Knight Monsters are making it easy to get involved.

So gear up, Tahoe. Hockey season is coming, and the Knight Monsters are ready to turn the ice into their personal battleground.
