Rock Lobsters game rescheduled due to weather

Released today by the team

The Athens Rock Lobsters announced today that their scheduled Saturday, January 24, 2026 home game has been rescheduled to Sunday, February 1, 2026 at 4:50 PM due to weather-related safety concerns. The decision reflects the organization’s continued commitment to prioritizing the safety and well-being of fans, the community, players, staff, and everyone involved in delivering the game-day experience.

While the Rock Lobsters thrive on the energy, excitement, and passion that hockey brings to Athens, the organization made it clear that no game outweighs the importance of safety.

“We love this sport, our team, and the incredible atmosphere our fans create,” Scott Hull, President of the Athens Rock Lobsters “But we would never jeopardize the safety of our fans or our community for a hockey game. Taking care of people will always come first.”

After careful evaluation and coordination between the Athens Rock Lobsters, the visiting Biloxi Breakers, and Akins Ford Arena, the game has officially been moved from Saturday to Sunday to allow for safer travel and event conditions for all parties involved.
