Dayton Demonz

we tied danbury 2-2 and beated them in o/t!!!!!! amazing game!

We really enjoyed the game and hope they schedule more games here in Winston -Salem in the future. Hopefully they will attract a new team here and have hockey all season .

We have date night once a month, and decided to do this. We paid $18.00 a ticket,and had front row seats. The "Away" team showed up at 8:30, and our tickets said 7pm. So the came started at about 8:50. It wasn't a season game, I think it was titled "Exhibition" game. The Dayton Gems were surprisingly good, though you wouldn't know it by their jerserys. :-) A couple of fights broke out which is always entertaining, and my husband got a free puck. My only complaint is that the Hara Arena doesn't exept debit/credit, so we were stuck with no hot chocolate or beer, and it was really cold. Other than that we recommend it, and support Dayton sports

Easy to order tickets. We got them the same day as game. Really enjoyed the game as a family. It was general admission- so the seat numbers and rows on our tickets didnt matter. Could sit anywhere other than season ticket seats.

What an awesome game. We saw some teeth get knocked out, a player get hit in the chest by the puck off a slap shot, fights, players ejected from the game and hard hits throughout the entire game. Worth every penny I paid for the price of admission.

The event was fine but the team did not supply all parts of the package. We were not able to get t-shirts as the package promised. The team only had like 10 shirts present. The smallest size was 2X, The food was supplied as noted in the package. Sad one part was not.

Great event in W-S! I hope it was enough to get hockey back to the triad!

The Demonz - Privateer hockey match @ the LJVM Annex followed the script of most minor league games minus one point - player recognition. It was hard to know who to pull for or yell at. Action was fast & furious (at times) with traditional sparring matches. In the end, the game was competitive with the advantage going to the higher seeded team. There were folks new to ice hockey with lots of questions and seasoned fans willing to fill in the gaps. Nice crowd - 2500. The only disappointment was the preparedness of the coliseum staff in meeting the attending crowd. Extremely long lines to purchase tickets, only one gate open to enter, concession stand delays (full lines into 3rd period), running out of beer - not at a hockey match, etc. None of the faults were the promoter's responsibility - only the arena staff.

The Demonz are a good team, and everyone working at the facility was very nice and helpful. This was our first time to see the Demonz. We purchased the Family 4-Pack which was a great deal. Hara arena is really showing its age, but overall, we had a really fun time and will be going back.

This was my first semi-pro hockey game. The Ticketmaster experience was great except for the fact that I did not select the event insurance and was charged for it. It was easy to opt-out of the insurance. The game was great.The home team lost but, it was still exciting to see hockey in Dayton, Ohio. We had great seats too. The only problem we had was that some other fans also thought we had great seats and they were occupying them when we arrived. After showing them our tickets they moved however, one guy made snarky comments to us throughout the duration of the game because we asked for our seats. Really silly how some people behave. It was St Patrick's day and nothing was going to ruin our day!

We had an absolute blast! Can't wait to go back again!

The Demonz played a great game! 12-0!! Our family had a blast.

Was a Gems season ticket holder and enjoyed the games. Hara Arena needs alot of work, but the hockey is what I went for. Will go see the New team the Dayton Demonz.

Awful awful worst than awful. Rapid City is a class act.Seats were good. However , this was the WORST arena I've ever been. The fans are rude and violent we moved to the other side of the ice because of threatening comments. This has to be one of the poorest programs in the CHL. Hara Arena sucks. ! As do the Gems' fans.

It was a good time and well worth the money. I am a Gems fan for sure now

I moved to Dayton a couple years ago from Cincinnati area, so always a big Cyclones fan, had never been to Hara Arena or a Gems event, neither had my boyfriend or his 14 yr old son, so I got online, saw opening night, home game & went for it. We had a great time, the 3 of us. Purchased a Gems hat for my boyfriends son & plan to look online for more items to purchase for the next time we go to another game. More perfect, there were a couple fights & they Won!!

Awesome Game excellent action!!! I will go again!!

It was a great time!!! Seats were perfect felt like we were in the game.

Although the Gems lost it was a great experience. It was my first time to watch them and I will definately be back. The crowd was great and the music was very entertaining.

Facilities just 'ok'. Seemed old and outdated. Game started 30min late due to broken glass. Parking $5. Tickets overpriced for minor leagues. Would not go again

Although the game was great, the venue had a lot to be desired. I've been to hockey games all over the country and I must say Hara Arena was the worst place I've been in. Not because it was old but because it was so cold you could see your breath. We were freezing before the 1st period was over. Come on people, if you wanna save a buck do it some other way other than turning your heat off! Other hocky arenas are warm enough to sit there in a sweatshirt so I know better. It was at least 40 in there. That's outrageous! I'll never go back an likely won't go to anything else there either.

What a game.. The Gems really showed their talent. Never left a point unanswered. Left with 3 minutes in the game with the Gems ahead. Found out that the game ended in a shoot out! We will go back for the excitement and the fans. They really added to the fun. The seats were on the glass.. so we will be looking for seats a bit higher up to catch all the action.

The Gems played an exciting game Friday. Hadn't been to a game since I was a kid and loved every minute. The atmosphere was friendly and clean. Lots of special events for the fans and especially for the kids. Great place to take the family.

A little worried about taking my kids to a hockey game at Hara. I was wrong all the way, it was a family friendly event. The fans were well behaved and the Hara staff was friendly and helpful. The facility was very clean also! And for small time hockey, we saw a very good game! My only complaint was the prices at the snack bar. ($3.50 for a 12oz. soda???) If you want the GEMS to survive make it afordable to bring the family. There is $1.00 beer night, why not family night with $1.00 popcorn, hot dogs and soda?

Super easy to have print tickets off and have them scanned at the door. SUPER COLD!!!! Yes, it's a hockey game, but bathrooms need to be heated! I think we might have a real shot with keeping this team. It's looking great!

Was a fair event. Needed a bigger crowd and more going on in the stands, etc.

High energy. Skillful playing. Great entertainment value.

This was our second gems game and just as good as the first. It is way more hard-hitting and faster paced than the NHL and its minor leagues and it is a great atmosphere. When we got to the game we were surprised to see Bryan Smolinski there, who has had a pretty good career in the NHL. It is cool to see the stars of tomorrow and the stars of the past that show up. I would always recommend a hockey game of any sort and I hope you go see one.

November 30 years ago my dates Dad told me she liked Hockey...She bought the tickets I paid for our meal...3 children and 5 grandchildren later yes 30 years and I think I injoyed the game more this time than I did 30 years ago. The action was non stop the officials let the game play and both teams were very active...The entertainment between periods was great and the GEMS won ( my wife says they didn't last time I don't remember but don't tell her)...BLADE's antics were very funny and entertaining and seats were great 'Gold, Center Ice'. Bought her an away jersey and can't wait to go back and get a home jersey, it won't be 30 years this time...
