Seasons of Giving

The Monsters are committed all year round to helping people in need and one of the most important times of the year is the Holiday Season that we are committed to giving back to the community. From November 1st through December 15th there are various programs and events that take place to benefit residents of Northeast Ohio in need.

St. Hermans House of Hospitality

The Monsters Front office and players will serve at St. Hermans House of Hospitality throughout the weeks of Season of Giving to help and promote their efforts.

Senior Outreach

The Monsters team members will be active in the senior community throughout the weeks of Season of Giving by providing companionship, support and even exercise to these communities.

Monsters Respect Tour

To be successful in any walk of life, one must be able to set goals, respect others and respect oneself. Whether in a classroom as students or in an ice arena as professional hockey players, the act of respect must be displayed and acted upon in order to succeed and move together as a unit. With those important lessons in mind, The Lake Erie Monsters head into the community eight times a year on the Lake Erie Monsters Respect Tour.

Two players, along with XX, speak at schools across northeastern Ohio stressing the messages of respect for one another, the importance of setting goals, and ways to overcome adversity.

For information on how to have the Respect Tour come to your school please contact us at service@lakeeriemonsters.com

Tour with the Monsters

The Tour with the Monsters, presented by Time Warner Cable and Zeppe's Pizza, is back again this year, making stops at rinks in your local communities. The Tour gives fans the chance to watch the Monsters practice, and then get out on the ice with the team afterwards for autographs and pictures.

Check out where the Tour will be rolling through this season, and then come out to watch your favorite team practice and meet the players afterwards: ul>
