In a surprise move that was not expected until Saturday, the ESSC released its full spring schedule. The schedule sees the Monarchs play their five games on the road before closing out the season with a three game homestand.
While season ticketholders may not be very happy with a 5:3 ratio of away/home games they will get to see top talent.
The schedule that was release is very interesting for the expansion Monarchs and the schedulers at the ESSC did not hesitate to give the young team must-win games in early May.
In just the third week of the season the Monarchs look to be the game of the week facing off against the former Rec league champ Moose Hammers. The game is expected to draw a circus of media attention and could be a preview to the Rec Championship game.
The Monarchs will need to stay sharp as a few weeks after facing one former Rec champ they will have to take on another, the Genuine Draughts, in the second to last home game of the year. The Monarchs have also chosen this to be fan appreciation night for their dedicated fanbase because it is a marquee match-up and also the second of three home dates.
If the Monarchs are able to run the table they truly will be the team to beat heading into the June 11 playoffs.
