GAME DAY: What you can expect THIS SATURDAY at Braehead Arena

The festive season is upon us and it’s hard to believe we’re at the last game before the big day as we welcome the Dundee Stars to Braehead Arena for this Christmas cracker.

While last Sunday’s game was a non-starter, everything has been sorted for this one as a tasty Scottish derby gets ready to be played out.

The players will deal with those important matters on the ice so we’ll turn our attention to what else is happening around the arena on what is sure to be a busy night ahead.

In the meantime, tickets for the game remain available so get them now from the Clan website. Face off is at 7:00pm, with doors opening at 5:30pm.

Alternatively, if you can’t be here, purchase our webcast, bringing you all the action from the game, priced at £15 by heading over to ClanIHC.tv.

Tonight, we’re delighted to welcome our game sponsor, C & G Plumbing.  

Star-ry, Star-ry Night

It’s only been a couple of weeks since we were visited by Dundee Stars, but here they are again as Marc LeFebvre’s side look to turn around their recent run of poor form.

Without a win in their last six and only one win in their last 11, the Stars would love to start this double header weekend between the teams with a win to take them into a busy festive period.

Dundee have yet to taste victory in Braehead Arena this season so tonight would be as good a time as any to halt that run.  The Clan players however will have something to say about that.

Box Office Open

The Braehead Arena box office is open between 4:00pm and 8:00pm, here to accommodate game day buyers for this or future fixtures.

However, in future where possible, fans are asked to continue to purchase tickets online in advance, but any sales at the box office will be at the same price as online sales.

Oh, no! It’s the Grinch!

Keep your eyes peeled because during this period of joy and happiness, you need to watch out for The Grinch, who will be making his way around Braehead Arena causing havoc in this festive fare.

Safety & Security

We’ll get the important bits of information out of the way first so please take a minute to read over the Safety and Security information for Braehead Arena, making sure you have an enjoyable night.

Make sure to have your bags ready for searching, use both entrances and be kind and courteous while we carry out our necessary checks.

Early In & Win

As stated above, the doors open at 5.30pm, but you have a chance to be a winner just by scanning your ticket if you’re in early enough.  You read that right.

Clangus

Of course, it wouldn’t be a home game without the league’s best mascot and Clangus is always keen to show off his mooooooves!!

Our resident coo will be making his way around the arena, dancing to his favourite tunes and seeing as many people as he can so make sure you get your selfies and hugs in, which happen to be Clangus’ two favourite things.
