ESTERO, Fla. – The Florida Everblades are pleased to release their schedule for the 2023-24 ECHL season.

Florida begins next season on Thursday, October 19 with a road matchup against the Orlando Solar Bears. After two road games to start the new campaign, hockey returns to Hertz Arena on Saturday, October 28 against the Jacksonville Icemen.

The longest homestand of the season for Florida stretches from March 20 to March 30, 2024 with the Everblades playing five games in 11 days: they host the Savannah Ghost Pirates for the first three before two matches against Jacksonville. The squad’s longest road trip goes from November 24 to December 2, with five games against three different teams. Florida begins the road trip in Jacksonville against the Icemen, then moves south to battle the Solar Bears, before finally trekking to New York for three games against the Adirondack Thunder.
