Belleville Venues Host Hockey and Rugby Matches This Weekend

The Belleville Senators lost 5-3 to the Utica Comets on Friday, February 27, 2026, yet remain in the hunt for a Calder Cup Playoff spot with 16 games remaining. Additional weekend results for the Senators included a 5-2 victory that completed a sweep of the Hershey Bears and a 3-1-0-0 record against that opponent this season. The Senators also defeated the Toronto Marlies 4-2 on Saturday afternoon at Coca-Cola Coliseum to even the season's Battle of Ontario series at one game apiece.

Hockey Games Rely on Regional Venues

The Belleville Bearcats hockey team lost 2-1 to the Kingston Ice Wolves on Friday. These hockey contests take place within the network of facilities that enable AHL and local league play in Belleville. One explicitly identified site is Coca-Cola Coliseum, which hosted the Senators' road win over the Marlies. The consistent use of such venues allows teams to maintain schedules despite varying outcomes.

Rugby Matches Add to Local Activity

Belleville Bulldogs rugby teams recorded multiple wins over the weekend. The U16 Girls Red side posted a 31-12 victory against Cobourg/Lindsay. The Senior Women side recorded a 38-0 win against Markham/Ajax. These results illustrate how rugby infrastructure supports age-group and senior competition alongside hockey programs.

The collection of scores from hockey and rugby demonstrates the role of existing venues in staging events. The Senators' results against the Utica Comets, Hershey Bears and Toronto Marlies, along with the Bearcats loss and Bulldogs rugby wins, all occurred within the same local framework of facilities. Teams continue to schedule games at these sites as the seasons progress.

Further matches will depend on the same venues and infrastructure that accommodated the February 27, 2026, contest and the weekend slate of results.
