ST. LOUIS — Hockey season is back again in St. Louis.
The Blues begin their season on the road with a game against the Dallas Stars on Oct. 12, and the home opener against the Seattle Kraken on Oct. 14.
If you are heading down to the Enterprise Center for a game this year, there are a few things to keep in mind when packing for your trip.
