The Bismarck Bobcats come home this weekend. They host the Austin Bruins on Friday, Oct. 16, and Saturday, Oct. 17, at the VFW Sports Center, according to the team's schedule and ticketing pages. It's the Bobcats' second home series of the 2026-27 NAHL season.
What's at Stake
The Bobcats are back on home ice after a split on the road. The club won the 2025 NAHL Robertson Cup, according to the team and the league. Their home schedule opened with a two-game sweep of the Watertown Shamrocks, 5-3 on Friday and 4-2 on Saturday, as the team reported on its site.
The rematch in Watertown last weekend went less smoothly. According to the club's Oct. 11 game recap, Bismarck split the two games in South Dakota and stayed in the early race for first place in the Central Division. Box scores from that series are on the team site.
