Thanksgiving Day Hockey In Binghamton
Thanksgiving Day games were a 38 year tradition in Binghamton, NY at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena that started on November 22, 1973 and ended on November 22, 2012. It would have been a 40 year annual event however Binghamton hockey teams were not scheduled in 1991 (Rangers) or 2000 (Icemen) due to scheduling conflicts.
Binghamton Hockey teams were 19-15-2-2 collectively.

Goalie, Ken Holland played in the most Thanksgiving Day Games at goal with 5 games and the Broome Dusters played to 5 straight sold out turkey-day Spectators from 1974-1978.

In certain years, Binghamton was the center of the hockey world as the Arena would be the only rink with a professional game being played.

On November 22, 2012 the Binghanmton Senartors played the last game on Thanksgiving vs.the Toronto Marlies, winning 3-2 which saw Ben Bishop in goal. Grady Whittenburg and Binghamton Hockey.net owner Bob Howard had the radio call from the Arena.
