The staff is friendly and helpful and the facility is clean and well maintained. Going to a Raiders Game is easy and fun from purchasing tickets to parking to buying merchandise. Rating: 5 out of 5 Great Family Fun by hockeyinvt on 1/3/23 DCU Center - Worcester.Also, you cannot pay with cash, and I think that is a deterrent for families who come in who might not have the ability to pay with a card. The only reason we did not give it 5 stars is because there is no beer on tap, and no fruit for drinks. It was easy entry and the lines for the concessions were quite quick. Rating: 4 out of 5 Railers Game by MM on 1/24/23 DCU Center - Worcester.Great alternative to the Bruins.īruins are a rich man’s game. Tickets, parking snd concessions are all reasonably priced. The Railers provide an exciting level of hockey. Rating: 5 out of 5 Railers Hockey is alot of fun by Bill on 2/8/23 DCU Center - Worcester.Hockey games are always loud but this games decibel level was dangerous so we had to leave the game. Rating: 2 out of 5 Too noisy by Audiologist on 2/14/23 DCU Center - Worcester.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Amazing hockey game by Dave on 4/2/23.Wicked Awesomes: Do you people even live here.
Innovators: Like the Springfield Isotopes, but annoying. WarSox: Picturing a tube sock with an AK. Volunteers: That’s sweet, but oh so boring. Now Busta Rhymes Islanders? That I can get behind. Other no-good options on the list include Polar Sox and, worse, PolSox.
Ice Bears: I miss the Ice Cats as much as the next guy, but we have a word for “ice bear,” and that’s spoken for, in that we already have Polar Park. The BadīaySox: Nothing screams landlocked Central Massachusetts city like “bay!”īravehearts: Also taken (and they have “The Clap”).Ĭanalians: It’s either Canadians from space or Canadians who live in canals and either way, not good, chief.įirefighters: I get the sentiment, but you gotta be more creative than that.ĭuck Boats: When was the last time you saw a Duck Boat in Worcester? Tornadoes: Too much overlap with the Omaha Storm Chasers-a badass name that rocks-but historically relevant, so nice try.

TableTalk Sox: Some free advertising for another beloved local company with an equally beloved rogue Twitter presence? Sure. Smileys: Low-hanging fruit, but decent nonetheless. Ruby Legs: This one makes me uncomfortable but is a callback to a nickname for the 19th Century Worcester Worcesters, so gets a bump in the rankings. Hilltoppers: Not a bad idea, but imagine the jerseys: Like the Rockies, but round? Gritty Kitties: Into it, but there’s already a Gritty in the sports world who’s a very tough act to follow. Space Cowboys: Honestly wish they’d thrown a serious curveball and gone with this one.Ĭlaws: Bonus points for defying convention and focusing not on an animal but on a body part.Ĭoney Islanders: I’m a fan of Worcester’s famous grungy hot dog emporium, but still.ĭamage: I think I caught a Damage show at the Palladium upstairs back in 2006. Mudville 9: A reference to a local poetry legend and you love to see it. Green Bananas: I’m on board with this because I like the creativity, but can someone explain the reference? Is it too late to suggest Bocces? Bocce Boys?ĭiners: Somebody’s gotta make a Worcester Diners jersey, please. Here are the best, the worst, and the worst-of-the-worst they came up with: The GoodĬanaligators: I will be saying this word all day long now thanks!Ĭandlepins: Love it and frankly I wish we’d gotten more niche sports references on the list. The Globe got its hands on the list of all 218 of those ideas, offering us a peek inside the psyche of the soon-to-be local WooSox fans. The team’s font includes a tiny heart in the “W,” which is a nod to Worcester’s nickname “The Heart of the Commonwealth.”īut what’s fascinating to me is what might have been, had the top brass taken advice from some of the 1,000 people who submitted their own ideas for team names this month amid a big suggestion-gathering effort in the city. And its stance in the batter’s box, according to the team, is modeled after Sox sluggers Ted Williams and David Ortiz. It’s of course a reference to the fact that Worcester native Harvey Ball invented the smiley face in 1963. At a ceremony for the big announcement, team owners also revealed the new mascot, a baseball bat-wielding, sock-wearing smiley face named Smiley Ball.
