Season 14 begins at home, Oct. 11-12 vs. St. John’s. Saturday at 7, Sunday at 3. It ends April 19 at home against Hartford, as a few have.
Two morning games again, the day after election day and April 1. No night-after-Thanksgiving game here for the first time since 2005.
And no Western Conference. That was a fun one visit while it lasted.
More in a bit.
—Here’s the league’s release with links to the full thing.
Dec. 13 is your Rare Saturday Off.
I count 16 three-in-threes. The team record was 15 in 2009-10. Got 10 other back-to-backs to go with them. One Wednesday-night home game, two Friday-nighters.
First visit to Allentown is Dec. 6. The Phantoms return the favor the next night.
Opponents: Hartford, Albany 10; Springfield, Syracuse 8; Providence 6; everyone else in the Eastern Conference 4 except Binghamton 2.
Albany will host Bridgeport in Newark on Jan. 21, a Wednesday night.
–A few back-to-backs aren’t unexpected (St. John’s, sure; Norfolk, yeah; Syracuse here, OK). Against Springfield, Manchester, Albany (twice!)? Curious. (Or maybe familiarity will breed contempt and we’ll all be wishing we still had the third fighting major.)
–The hopefully convenient texty format (the team has a .pdf here ):
