Belleville Sens release 2025-26 promotional and theme game schedule

The Belleville Senators begin the new American Hockey League season in under a month, and the club is excited to announce its 2025-26 promotional and theme game schedule. 

The Senators will host more than a dozen games this season that include special themes or promotions, many of which will benefit community groups right here in the Bay of Quinte Region. The Belleville Sens promo and theme games may also include specialty jerseys presented by Mackay Insurance, exclusive fan giveaways, in-arena activations, and more. 

“Our promotional schedule release is always one of the most exciting steps in the lead-up to the new season,” said Belleville Sens Vice President of Business Operations John Mathers. “As we continue to aim to provide a top-tier environment and atmosphere on game nights, these promotions will help to add another level to that fan experience. We can’t wait to bring back some of the longtime favourite promotions that our fans have become used to taking part in and show off some new and unique ideas!” 

This year’s games include fan-favourite staples like Hockey Fights Cancer, Military Appreciation, and the annual Teddy Bear Toss, plus some exciting new initiatives:
