The puck drops at 2pm on Saturday, November 6 for the Metropolitan Riveters' first game of the season. Opening weekend will be a double header against the Connecticut Whale at Mennan Sports Arena in Morristown, New Jersey. All the training camps and exhibition games have concluded and now it's time to start the quest for the second Isobel cup.
