THE WEEK AHEAD: The end of the year
Christmas is over for another year at the Glasgow Clan, sponsored by Aspray Glasgow West, but there’s no let up as we immediately start to look at the prospect of a New Year.
The games continue to come thick and fast during this festive period with another three on the horizon, including two tricky away journeys.
We’ll tell you more about those in due course, but here’s what you may have missed over the last few days:
THURSDAY
Belfast Giants vs Glasgow Clan (Elite Ice Hockey League, face off 7:00pm)
The dust has barely settled on the game on Boxing Day as once again both the Giants and the Clan will meet again to complete the festive double header between the sides.
Giants are enjoying an upturn in form after some unusual results from their point of view and that confidence gained in recent successes will give them an edge when they play host to Jason Morgan’s side.
As for Clan, the results haven’t been there for them in the last couple of weeks and what better way to turn that around than with a big win in Belfast. Easier said than done, of course, but we’ll wait and see,
SATURDAY
Glasgow Clan vs Fife Flyers (Elite Ice Hockey League, face off 7:00pm)
This Saturday sees the start of another double header as Fife Flyers come to Glasgow looking claim league points that will help their cause.
Tom Coolen’s side are another team that have been bereft of any relative success, with only one win to show from their 12 games and the thought of scooping a couple of points from Braehead Arena is certainly appealing to them.
Bragging rights – as well as points – are up for grabs in the first of two ferocious meetings between these Scottish rivals

HOGMANAY
Fife Flyers vs Glasgow Clan (Elite Ice Hockey League, face off 5:00pm)
We’re at the end of the year and there’s a change of pace this season, with Fife Ice Arena hosting some Hogmanay hockey this time around.
Clan make the relatively short journey to Fife to complete an action packed weekend in the hope they can end 2023 on a high note.
The Flyers fans certainly won’t make it a comfortable one for the Glasgow players, but it has the makings of a cracker and quite possibly, the best way to end the year.
