Though a bulk of the ‘Blades 72 regular season games will come against foes from the South Division, Florida will see 15 of the ECHL’s 26 teams during the 2019-20 season. The Everblades will make their first-ever trip to Utah during Thanksgiving week to battle the Grizzlies in a three-game series. Florida is also set to face five of the six teams from the Central Division, including two separate road trips to the Midwest.

Ten different opponents will pay a visit to Hertz Arena this coming season. Highlighting that home slate is the first-ever two-game series against the Kansas City Mavericks, which visited Estero for the first time in the 2016-17 season for a single game. The Everblades will also host the Newfoundland Growlers, the defending Kelly Cup Champions, for one game in February, a rematch of the 2019 Eastern Conference Finals.

A majority of Florida’s home contests fall on either Friday or Saturday nights this coming season. The Everblades play 10 tilts on Friday and 16 contests on Saturday. Florida will also play eight Wednesday games and two Tuesday affairs. Almost two-thirds of the 36 total home games will fall from December through February.

A rivalry that came into its own this past season, Florida and Jacksonville will meet 13 times total this year, eight of which will take place in Estero. The Everblades will see Orlando, their other in-state rival, on seven occasions at Hertz Arena, a series that also includes six contests in Orlando at the Amway Center. Orlando and Jacksonville will be Florida’s most frequent opponents in the 2019-20 season, with 13 total games against each team.
