The Monsters, our city's beloved minor league hockey team, kicks off a two-game series against the Ontario Reign with today's 7 p.m. game at the Q. The two teams face each again tomorrow at 1 p.m. Both games will feature a Socktober Sock Drive. The team encourages fans to donate a pack of new socks to benefit local homeless shelters. The first 10,000 fans who attend tonight's game will receive a team poster. Also, as part of a 1-2-3 Friday promotion, concession specials include $1 Pepsi products, $2 hot dogs and $3 beers. Tickets start at $10. (Niesel)
