Good to know:
- The team hasn't posted pregame ceremony times, giveaways or any veteran ticket offer for this year yet; check the Comets site closer to game day.
- It's a 6 p.m. puck drop on a weeknight, so give yourself time to park downtown before the opening tributes.
- Games typically run about two and a half hours.
Make a day of it: start with the MVCC Veterans Day breakfast and flag raising or the free Art Alive! family day at the Munson.
