With the Minor League Hockey Season underway, the Syracuse Crunch are ready to drop the puck! The Crunch are an AHL club of the Tampa Bay Lightning. In addition, they play in the North Division for the Eastern Conference. The Crunch have been a farm team for the Bolts since 2012. The franchise previously partnered with the Ducks (2010-2012) and the Blue Jackets (2000-2010). Since the 2011-2012 season, the Crunch have played in two Calder Cup Finals appearances (2013, 2017) along with six playoff trips.

Where do the Syracuse Crunch Play their Home Games? Who is the Main Mascot?

The Crunch have been playing home games at Upstate Medical University Arena since 1994.

The venue is about a 1.5-hour drive from Rochester, NY (home of the Minor League Baseball’s Red Wings and AHL’s Americans).
