On Saturday, March 25th, #hockeytownqc is heading to the Vibrant Arena for an evening full of fun and excitement.

Meet & Greet

The Quad City Storm has special events planned, including a pregame Meet & Greet where you can meet your hockey heroes and get autographs. The alumni include:

  • Mark McFarlane
  • Kerry Toporowski
  • Steve Gibson
  • Shane Bennett
  • Cody Walsh
  • Marcus Ortiz

Former Storm player, Marcus Ortiz, is beyond excited to come back and visit.

I feel like I’m coming home! It’s been by far the best place I’ve ever played, I feel as if a part of me will forever be here. I only wish I could’ve started my career here. From ownership, to the staff, to the fans, to the arena custodians and employees, everyone is so amazing and has created a family atmosphere here. The best hockey memories of my life were made in this arena. The most fun I’ve ever had playing a game happened in this arena! I’m excited for Shane and excited to get my hands on his bobble head for myself. Shane is an incredible player, teammate, and friend and he deserves every ounce of this and more! Cheers to you my brother!
