How about our Comets?! What a weekend for hockey here in Utica huh?!

The city is pumped and excited because our Utica comets are moving on in the Calder Cup playoffs. If you were fortunate enough to score tickets for the playoff games over the weekend at the Aud, then you got to witness firsthand why everyone's raving about the Comets!

Both games had nail biting finishes and there's no better phrase that suits the Comets right now than "Go Comets! Go Comets! Go Comets go!" The Comets are moving on to the second round of the playoffs because they sent the Chicago Wolves packing on Saturday night with a 4-2 victory! The Comets will  play again at home later this week, and the Auditorium is sure to be rockin'!

The top-seeded Comets will host the sixth-seeded Barons for Games 1 and 2, beginning on Thursday, May 7th and Friday May 8th at the Utica Memorial Auditorium with both games slated for 7 p.m. starts.
