The Railers have yet to win a Kelly Cup, though their closest run came during their inaugural 2017-18 season, when they advanced through the first round of the playoffs.

One of Worcester’s first hockey teams came in 1954-56 with the Worcester Warriors, who played in the Eastern Hockey League. Despite playing only 20 games in their first season and quickly fading from existence, they started the momentum for Worcester’s long hockey history. 

Here's how to watch them live on FloHockey.
