October 23, 2016

NEXT HOME GAME: It’s our very own HALLOWEEN FRIGHT NIGHT next Sunday (face-off 6:00pm) when the Nottingham Panthers visit Braehead Arena. Tickets are available NOW via TICKETMASTER, by calling 0844 499 1700 or direct at the Braehead Arena box office.

Braehead Clan head coach Ryan Finnerty has confirmed that British netminder Gary Russell will start in tonight’s final Challenge Cup Group A game against the Dundee Stars.

Russell replaces starting netminder Michal Zajkowski who picked up an upper body injury which is likely to see him ruled out for up to three weeks.

Russell will tonight be backed-up by 21-year-old Solway Sharks netminder Kieran Hobbins.

Gareth Chalmers, Clan’s Hockey & Operations Director commented: “We are obviously very disappointed to lose Michal [Zajkowski] out of the line-up, however we have a very capable replacement in Gary [Russell].

“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Martin Grubb and the Solway Sharks for allowing us to bring Kieran [Hobbins] into the line-up tonight.”
