Friday, April 3, at 7:00 p.m. – First Responders Night presented by Physicians Ambulance 

First Responders Night presented by Physicians Ambulance recognizes the sacrifice and service of those who are first to answer the call on public safety matters.  

Fans will see recognition moments throughout the night that highlight the impact first responders have on their community. The VIP Puck Drop will be Abigail Royalty, an EMT with Physicians Ambulance known for her compassion, dedication, and a positive attitude that uplifts both patients and coworkers. The Monsters will welcome the families of Cleveland Police Recruit Cortez Smith and Lorain Police Office Phillip Wagner and present them with jerseys to remind them their service will never be forgotten. 

The night’s 50/50 raffle will benefit Aluminum Cans for Burned Children, a nonprofit founded by Cleveland firefighters that works to prevent burn injuries through fire education and to impact the physical and emotional rehabilitation of pediatric burn survivors. ACBC finances its mission through the recycling of aluminum cans. Tickets can be purchased during the game from program volunteers or online. 

Friday’s game is the season’s final 1-2-3 Friday presented by Coca-Cola and Labatt featuring $1 Coca-Cola products, $2 hot dogs and $3 Labatt Blue, and additional select beer specials. It’s also Hockey for Heroes where every Friday night local veterans are honored at game and get to meet with a Monsters player at the end of the night.   

Saturday, April 4, at 7:00 p.m. – Polish Boys Night 

In similar fashion to last season’s Pierogi takeover, the Cleveland Monsters will take the ice as the Cleveland Polish Boys for one night only. This rebrand will feature the team sporting detailed specialty jerseys on the ice. The jerseys highlight the individual ingredients of a Polish Boy with a brand new logo crest and a delicious new colorway. The night will feature a mascot reveal unlike any other, hearty in-game activations and a new Polish Boy take on the classic hot dog eating contest. The Chardon Polka Band will return to Rocket Arena to set the musical scene for the night’s game. Plus, fans will have the opportunity to purchase the dish- a kielbasa (Polish sausage) on a hoagie bun, topped with coleslaw, french fries, and finished with barbeque sauce- inside Rocket Arena at various concession stands across the concourse.  

Fans can bid on game-worn autographed jerseys and autographed locker plates to own pieces of Polish Boy history from Monday, March 30, to April 4 at 9:00 p.m. Auctions can be accessed via the Monsters’ DASH platform. Fans looking to preview the items posted for auction can find examples at the Community Corner across from Portal 6. Additionally, a live post-game auction will occur in section 105 following the game. During live bidding, a select number of game-worn Polish Boys’ player jerseys will be available for action-packed real-time bidding. The Small Business Beneficiary of the night’s auction is Whitmore’s Bar-B-Q. Whitmore’s is owned by Vance and Virgil Whitmore, grandsons of the originator of the Polish Boy, and has been a staple of Northeast Ohio barbecue culture for decades. The restaurant experienced a devastating fire on March 3, 2026, and is currently working to rebuild. 

Center Ice, the official Team Shop of the Cleveland Monsters, will offer a much-anticipated Polish Boys Collection including a replica jersey, t-shirts, several hat styles, and other novelty items as the Item of the Game for the night. The collection will be available both in store and at MonstersTeamShop.com while supplies last.
