The Rapid City Rush have announced their promotional nights for the 2024-25 ECHL season.
The Rapid City Rush have brought back many fan-favorite theme nights, including Teddy Bear Toss Night on December 14 and Rush Fights Cancer on March 22. They have also added many new promo nights, including Peanuts Night on December 14 with the Teddy Bear Toss, Area 51 Night on December 31, Knights on Ice on November 30, and Midnight Madness on February 15. One theme night to look forward to (for some) is Midnight Madness, as puck drop will be at midnight, and the game will be played into the early morning hours of February 16th.
Rapid City will wear many different specialty jerseys throughout the season, including specialty jerseys for the fan favorite Military and Cancer nights, as well as jerseys for Star Wars Night, Peanuts Night, and First Responders Night. There will also be a jersey auction after Area 51 Night. The team has not announced very many of their giveaways, but there will be rally towels (Friday Night) and magnet schedules (Saturday Night) given away during Opening Weekend. Rapid City’s regular season will conclude with Ready Player One night and the well-known auction of the team’s Bud Light Warmup Jerseys.
