It's gameday Firebird Fans!

Today's pre-season game is not being televised or otherwise livestreamed, so this will look a bit different than the usual gameday threads you'll see once the season starts.

Game starts at 5:00 PM PT, and is being played in Independence Missouri, with Kansas City Mavericks hosting.

The Firebirds PR team will be posting live updates on the Firebirds Twitter Account (@Firebirds).

Because it's not going to be livestreamed, we're not going to have a traditional gameday thread like we normally would. That said, feel free to post comments here, or join us in the Firebirds Discord to chat!

Hey Firebirds Fans! 🔥🦅

I’m working on a couple of merch ideas for the upcoming season and wanted to get your thoughts. I'm stuck between two approaches: officially licensed merch versus fan-generated, community-driven designs.

Licensed merch comes with that "official" stamp of approval and maybe some extra exclusivity, but fan-generated merch gives me more freedom to celebrate what makes our fandom unique.

I've sent emails to the Marketing Dept after talking to the GM of the Official Firebirds Shop (they're owned and operated by a separate corp) - still no reply.

I know there's something special about supporting the team through official gear, but there's also a cool factor to repping something made by fellow fans, with that extra creative flair, especially when my items are NOT currently being produced or sold by the official Team Store.

I’d love to hear your thoughts:

• Would you be more likely to buy officially licensed merch or fan-created merch?
• What kind of designs or items would you like to see for next season? (I got some feedback from a few fans about merch connected to theme nights).
• Any pros and cons you see for each option?

Thanks for being part of this community— fired up to hear from you! 🔥

I purchased tickets to several games and I have been unable to view the tickets on the app. It says I have no tickets purchased. I logged out of the app, logged out of ticketmaster, emailed the developers. I have updated the app twice, re-logged in to all accounts and I am still not able to view the tickets. I’m wondering if anyone else is having this issue.

I cannot wait for the season to start!

Firebirds hockey is more than just a game—it’s about that feeling when the lights dim, and that firebird scream echoes through the arena. It’s the thrill of celebrating with the stranger-turned best-friend when Max clinches the game in overtime. It’s about community, connection, and being part of something bigger than ourselves.

Which is why, when one of our Firebirds family needs help, we answer. Melissa, a dedicated Firebirds fan, is stranded in Texas after a sudden medical emergency, and she needs our help to come home.To support her, the Firebirds team has donated signed jerseys and sticks for a raffle, and there’s a grassroots movement underway to raise the funds necessary for her medical air transport back to the Coachella Valley.

Below are links to a KESQ article and a GoFundMe page where you can contribute. Any donation, big or small, or simply sharing this post, can make a world of difference for Melissa and her family.

One valley. One team. Rising together. Let’s fly!

UPDATE AS OF 9/11/2024: From the Go Fund Me Page: "I am so fortunate to say that my mother has been brought closer to home! Thank you so much for all the donations and prayers sent. We didn't reach the fundraising goal and had to borrow the remaining amount needed for the airlift home. We ask that if possible, continue to help with paying off the loan and the medical bills accruing from this unfortunate event. Thank you all and God bless"
