The Toledo Walleye are more than just a hockey team. They are one of the biggest attractions in Toledo. Playing at the Huntington Center in downtown Toledo, the Walleye have built one of the most passionate fan bases in minor league sports, regularly selling out games and creating an atmosphere that rivals many major league venues.
The team joined the ECHL in 2009 as the successor to Toledo’s long hockey tradition and has been affiliated with the Detroit Red Wings ever since. Over the years, the Walleye have become a source of pride for the city, drawing thousands of fans to downtown Toledo throughout the season.
What makes a Walleye game special is the experience. The energy inside the Huntington Center is electric, especially during rivalry games and playoff runs. Between the crowd, entertainment, promotions, and fast-paced action on the ice, even people who have never watched hockey before often leave as fans.
