There is no shortage of things to do on New Year’s Eve in Evansville, but I doubt any of them will be as fun as what’s happening at the Ford Center. The Thunderbolts have an event that checks all the boxes: fast-paced hockey, electric energy, and even a fireworks celebration that’s become a New Year’s Eve tradition at the Ford Center.

Why The Thunderbolts New Year’s Eve Game Is Different

The annual Evansville Thunderbolts New Year’s Eve game is back, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting ways in town to say goodbye to 2025 and welcome 2026. This isn’t just another hockey game - it’s an event. The Thunderbolts always bring the intensity on the ice, making every goal, hit, and save feel even bigger on New Year’s Eve.

An Indoor Fireworks Show You Have To See

And of course, no New Year’s Eve celebration would be complete without fireworks – and this Thunderbolts game is no exception. Have you ever seen a fireworks display inside the Ford Center? It’s something you do NOT want to miss!

Stick around after the final buzzer, too, because the night doesn’t end when the game does. A game-worn jersey auction will be held after the game, giving fans the chance to take home a unique piece of Thunderbolts history while reliving the excitement of the night.
