Monsters vs. Wilkes-Barre Penguins

The Monsters, our city's beloved minor league hockey team, go up against the Wilkes-Barre Penguins tonight at the Q in an early season match-up. The Monsters will offer a special Hockey Happy Hour today. Starting at just $11, the all-new Hockey Hoppy Hour Ticket includes a lower-level ticket and a beverage (a 12 oz. domestic beer or a Pepsi product/bottled water). Bring a pair of socks to the Q and help local people in need. The game begins at 7. The two teams face off again at 7 p.m. on Saturday. As part of the special Oktoberfest celebration, Oktoberfest beer and Bavarian pretzel concessions will be available at that game, and those tickets start at $10. (Niesel)
