Overview

Because playoffs ran well into July this past season, the start of the 2021-22 season will be delayed by a week. The Railers have historically played six games in the month of October, but as a result of the pushed start date, Worcester will play just three games in October. Take a look below to see how the Railers have faired in October the first three seasons:

2017-18: (3-2-1-0)2018-19: (3-3-0-0)2019-20: (3-3-0-0)Overall: (9-8-1-0)

Opening Nights

For the second time in franchise history, the Railers will open the season on the road; the team will travel to Portland on Oct. 22 to faceoff against the Maine Mariners for the first game of the season. Worcester will welcome Maine to the DCU Center on October 23rd for Opening Night at 7:35pm presented by Table Talk Pies. A sellout crowd is anticipated. The Railers have been successful in all three of their opening nights with crowds exceeding 8,000+, highlighted by 12,135 fans on Oct. 14, 2017. The Railers have come out victorious in all three Opening Nights.
