Dance Parties, Wrestling, Pride, Redheads, and Halloween!
2025-06-16
June 17th-June 22nd Is Set to Be a Party!
Opening Week for the Edmonton Riverhawks was an absolute blast, and boy, does it ever feel good to be back!
As we get ready for another action-packed homestand in the beautiful river valley, with six games of fun featuring everything from wrestlers and Taylor Swift tributes to redheads and fire jugglers, we’re taking a quick look back at some of the highlights from a memorable Opening Week:
- We kicked off the season by honouring the land we play on, with players wearing Every Child Matters jerseys and an amazing Indian Relay Race demonstration by the River Cree Youth Indian Relay Team
- We hosted a field trip party to remember, welcoming a crowd of 8,500, including over 7,000 elementary students from Edmonton and the surrounding area!
- Saturday night brought the unveiling of our 2025 alternate identity: the Green Onion Cakes! We played in front of a packed house for Sasky Night and sold out of our Green Onion Cake tees before the first pitch (don’t worry, more are on the way!). The game? An 18-inning marathon packed with surprises, two games in one, chickens on the field, a proposal in the stands, and nonstop fun!
- To cap it off, Sunday was all about the four-legged fans with Paws in the Park, presented by Homes Alive Pets! Dogs and cats of all sizes joined the party, our bat dog Iceman had his big moment, and we gave away hundreds of limited-edition Iceman the Doggleheads to lucky fans!
Looking ahead, we’ve got even more fun planned at the ballpark starting on Tuesday night!

We’re shining a spotlight on girls in the local performing arts scene, from K-pop dance performances to baton twirling, all during a night at the ballpark set to the sounds of Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and other pop favs!

The fan-favorite rainbow pinstripe jerseys are back and you can bid on a player-worn jersey in our auction, with portions of proceeds going to support the important work of Pride Tape!
