Why Is Everyone in the Quad Cities Going to This Hockey Game? It Might Be The $1 Beer

If you haven’t grabbed your tickets yet, you might be out of luck—the Quad City Storm are on track to shatter attendance records this Saturday, February 22, at Vibrant Arena.

So, what’s the big deal? It’s Union Night, it’s a rivalry showdown against Peoria, and oh yeah—$1 beers. With a packed house, an electric atmosphere, and some of the most intense hockey of the season, this is shaping up to be the must-attend event of the weekend in the Quad Cities.

The Rivalry:#ColdWarOn74. Heats Up

The Storm and Rivermen have been battling all season, with the series sitting at 4-4-1. This weekend, they face off three times—once at home and twice in Peoria.

Every matchup between the Storm and Peoria has been fast, physical, and high-stakes, and with just weeks left in the regular season, every point matters. Expect big hits, highlight-reel goals, and major aggression between these two teams.

$1 Beers + Packed Arena = Unmatched Energy

Union Night, presented by Tri-City Building Trades Council, IBEW Local 145, Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 25, and Sheet Metal Workers Local 91, brings together hockey fans and local unions for a night of community pride and intense action. Throw in $1 beers through the second intermission, and it’s no wonder the arena is filling up fast. (Just remember to drink responsibly)
