Flint Firebirds Tickets

Ready to blaze out and scorch their rivals out on the ice, the Flint Firebirds are geared up and ready to entertain their fans and represent their hometown of Flint, Mich., in the Ontario Hockey League. Though their franchise has gone under various names since 1990 — as the Detroit Compuware Ambassadors from 1990 to 1992; as the Detroit Junior Red Wings from 1992 to 1995; as the Detroit Whalers from 1995 to 1997; as the Plymouth Whalers from 1997 to 2015; and in their current incarnation as the Flint Firebirds from 2015 on — this men’s junior ice hockey team places consistently well in the OHL’s rankings and proudly represents its American hometown in a Canadian hockey league teeming with stiff competition. Indeed, the Firebirds have managed to improve their standing to No. 4 in the Western Conference leg of the OHL for the 2019–2020 season. For every year since 2015, and even going back to 2012 when the Firebirds were known as the Plymouth Whalers, the team has managed to propel talented young players into the Canadian Hockey League. You can see this new crop of talent in action. Get your Flint Firebirds tickets at StubHub today.
