The Cincinnati Cyclones, in conjunction with the ECHL, have announced the schedule for the 2022-23 ECHL season.
The 'Clones begin the new season with a three game road trip, starting Saturday, October 22nd against Fort Wayne. The Cyclones then visit Kalamazoo and Wheeling before returning home on Saturday, October 29th for the team's home opener against Iowa.
25 of Cincinnati's 36 home games come Friday-Sunday at Heritage Bank Center, with Friday hosting 13 of those home games. Cincinnati went 23-11-1-1 at home last season.
The Cyclones will play 72 games across the 2022-23 ECHL campaign, featuring 36 home games and 36 away contests. 52 of those contests come within the Central Division, while the other 20 outings will be spread across teams from the Mountain, North, and South divisions. The Cyclones will play 16 of the 27 other ECHL member teams.
Following an opening round playoff series that went the distance in game seven, the Cyclones and Toledo Walleye will see each other 11 times next season, marking the most games against any team for the Cyclones in the 2022-23 season, including the traditional Thanksgiving Eve contest where the Cyclones welcome the fish to Heritage Bank Center on Wednesday, November 23rd. The Cyclones face 10 teams outside their division, including the incoming expansion-Savannah Ghost Pirates when the team travels to Georgia in February. Cincinnati will host home games against Allen, Kansas City, Newfoundland, Norfolk, South Carolina, Tulsa, and Wichita.
April 15th marks the end of the regular season as the Cyclones will visit Kansas City for back-to-back games that weekend. A week prior on Saturday, April 8th, the Cyclones will host Kalamazoo in their regular season home finale.
