GAME DAY: The definitive guide to what’s going on at Braehead Arena THIS FRIDAY

The weekend starts here and another tasty Scottish derby looms as Glasgow Clan, sponsored by Aspray Glasgow West, go head-to-head with Dundee Stars for the second Friday in a row.

A week since Clan took the points in an 8-5 victory, Dundee came here looking to breathe new life in their play-off hopes as they sit on the wrong side of qualifying at this stage.

As ever, the action will sort itself out so our job is to dutifully inform on what you can expect around the arena.

Remember, the game is now COMPLETELY SOLD OUT so if you either can’t be here or didn’t get a ticket, you can purchase our webcast, bringing you all the action from the game, priced at £12.50 by heading over to ClanIHC.tv.  Face off at 7:30pm, with doors opening at 6:00pm.

Tonight’s match sponsors are our friends from Northern Steel Decking.

Dundee double concludes

Dundee Stars are back and looking for two big points as the play-off battle gets set for what could be a defining weekend for the teams involved.

We only saw them last week in a game that saw plenty of goals so there’s a decent chance both teams could produce the same again.

It promises to be a fun night ahead when these two Scottish rivals come together so expect the unexpected.

Box Office Open

The Braehead Arena box office is open between 3:00pm and 7:30pm, then for an extra 15 minutes at the conclusion of the game and we’re there to accommodate game day buyers due to the cost of living crisis.

However, 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.

As stated above, the game is COMPLETELY SOLD OUT, but you can purchase tickets for our next home game versus Cardiff Devils on Sunday 7th April (face off 5:00pm)
