WORCESTER, MA– Tim Foley, the unmistakable voice of the Worcester Railers, joined Radio Worcester to share insights on the team’s upcoming promotions and their gritty early-season play.

Saturday marks “Railers Fight Cancer Night”, featuring special jerseys and a pregame Boston Bruins Alumni match—a fan-favorite event that unites hockey and hope. On Sunday, the DCU Center transforms for “Autism Acceptance Day,” offering a sensory-friendly environment designed for all fans to enjoy the action comfortably.

Foley also spotlighted “Eras on Ice,” a Taylor Swift–themed night that promises to blend pop culture and puck excitement.

Despite a slow start to the season, Foley emphasized the team’s physical, hard-nosed identity:

“This is a team that’s currently leading the ECHL in penalty minutes right now. For what it’s worth—it has certainly been physical hockey.”

Confident in a turnaround, Foley encouraged fans to witness the coming momentum firsthand:

“Momentum is a very real thing in sports. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise… make no mistake, once this train gets rolling, you’re going to want to be on the train.”

WORCESTER, MA– Tim Foley, the voice of the Worcester Railers, calls in to the Talk of the Commonwealth to tell us about the team’s upcoming opening weekend. Plans include a pre-game block party Saturday night from 4-6, and a performance by international beatboxer NaPoM. Sunday it’s a special appearance by the children’s character Bluey. “It’s the memories that you make now and again, it’s not the score that really matters. It’s everything that happens in between that’s a lot of fun for these kids, and it creates that fandom at an early age when we’re honored to be a part of that in this community in particular.” Foley described the hockey team’s composition, highlighting its size, physicality, and infusion of skill from AHL-contracted players. “I think you’re going to be hard pressed to find a larger team in the ECHL this season. We’ve got a lot of big bodies on this team who are known for physicality…” Foley emphasized that the organization’s priority was the overall fan experience, particularly for families, focusing on creating lasting memories that build fandom from a young age.
