GAME DAY: The guide to what’s happening at Braehead Arena THIS SATURDAY

A big night awaits as Glasgow Clan, sponsored by Aspray Glasgow West, get ready to take on Manchester Storm in another battle for Elite League points.

Both teams have been picking up the points in recent games and as the season heads towards a thrilling crescendo, every win and point becomes more and more important.

The teams will sort that out among themselves so we’ll busy ourselves with what’s going to be happening in and around Braehead Arena ahead of the game.

Remember, tickets remain available online so make sure you get yours while you can.  Face off 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 £12.50 by heading over to ClanIHC.tv.

Tonight’s match sponsors are our friends from Hercules Ice Hockey Apparel.

Storm Manchester set to hit Glasgow

Manchester Storm have enjoyed some excellent form of late, and although they tasted defeat in overtime at the hands of the Clan last Saturday, that won’t stop them from looking to get those points back.

They come to Braehead Arena fresh from a Friday night meeting with Coventry Blaze, and looking to close out their weekend with two big road points, something they’ve done already this season.

As ever, it could be a stormy one ahead so get ready for another night of action.

Box Office Open

The Braehead Arena box office is open between 3:00pm and 7:00pm, 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, limited tickets are available, so book now to avoid disappointment.
