Athens Rock Lobsters

Athens’ new professional hockey team, the Rock Lobsters, will play their first home game Friday night at the Akins Ford Arena.

Though their first home game will be played Friday night, the Rock Lobsters already have a 9-1 record on the road this season in the Continental Division.

The Rock Lobsters will play the Blue Ridge Bobcats from Wytheville, Virginia at 7:05 pm Friday night. It will be the first professional hockey game held at the newly constructed Akins Ford Arena in downtown Athens.

The Rock Lobsters will play the Blue Ridge Bobcats again on Saturday at 8:05 pm in Athens.
