Sunday marks opening day for the Utica Comets and it's a special one for a few reasons.

The organization will rebrand to mark the start of a new 10-year affiliation with the New Jersey Devils.

And it will be the first sold out crowd at Adirondack Bank Center since before COVID-19 lockdowns.

Fans are encouraged to wear red to mark what team officials are calling a "new era" in Comets hockey.
