Syracuse Crunch vs. Belleville Senators

The Syracuse Crunch host the Belleville Senators in a professional ice hockey matchup at Upstate Medical University Arena. The Crunch are the American Hockey League affiliate of the Tampa Bay Lightning and have called Syracuse home since relocating from Hamilton, Ontario. The franchise was renamed through a public vote and has since become a fixture in the city's sports scene.

The Crunch have led the AHL in sellouts and have made deep playoff runs, including a trip to the conference finals. They have also produced rare on-ice moments, such as goaltender Christian Bronsard scoring a goal, a feat achieved by only four netminders in league history. The matchup against Belleville gives fans a chance to see two AHL teams compete in an arena with a long hockey tradition.
