The South Carolina Stingrays have rolled out their 2026‑27 promotional calendar, promising a season that blends high‑octane hockey with a parade of themed nights designed to draw fans beyond the rink.
A Calendar Packed with Theme Nights
From EMO NIGHT and SCOOBY‑DOO DAY to K‑POP celebrations, the schedule weaves pop culture into the game‑day experience, turning each home matchup into a mini‑festival.
Friday night games will kick off at 7:05 p.m. and come with a $5 food and drink special, encouraging fans to linger over the arena’s concessions, while Saturday contests start at 6:05 p.m. and Sunday games begin at 3:05 p.m., the latter offering children 14 and under a chance to step onto the ice for a post‑game slapshot.
Community‑Focused Events
Special evenings such as JETS AND VETS, MILITARY APPRECIATION NIGHT, and DIVERSITY AWARENESS NIGHT highlight the team’s commitment to local causes, while EDUCATION DAY on Feb. 17 brings classrooms onto the ice, letting students explore the science and math behind hockey.
Additional highlights include WOMEN IN SPORTS NIGHT, STAR WARS NIGHT with themed merchandise and activities, and EASTER WITH THE RAYS, a family‑friendly celebration that blends Easter egg hunts with on‑ice fun. The season will also culminate with FAN APPRECIATION NIGHT, a tribute to the supporters who keep the franchise thriving.
Beyond entertainment, the Stingrays will honor first responders with a dedicated night of recognition, underscoring the team’s role as a community hub. The promotional push is backed by the club’s affiliations with the NHL’s Washington Capitals and the AHL’s Hershey Bears, adding a layer of developmental prestige to the schedule.
