Think I’m all set for the trip to Seattle to check out the @Firebirds first “home” game on Friday. Looking forward to some Fire and Ice (and rain!) in the Emerald City! Should be a lot of fun! I’ll have LIVE coverage on @KESQ! @FuegoFirebirds @SeattleKraken @Evan_Pivnick @TheAHL pic.twitter.com/pqXGTlYD7o

The Firebirds, off to a sizzling start in their inaugural season at 2-0, play their next game Friday against Abbotsford at the Kraken Community Iceplex.
Following their game Friday, the team will play again Sunday, Oct. 23 inside Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, home of the Kraken.
Local fans will have to wait until December to see the Firebirds in the Coachella Valley but when the team does arrive, the community will be able to watch games via LIVE broadcast, including their desert debut on Sunday, Dec. 18 at Acrisure Arena.
KESQ News Channel 3's group of stations will be your go-to place to watch Firebirds games on television.
