GAME DAY: What ‘s going on around Braehead Arena THIS FRIDAY  

We’re taking a step back in time as we are holding our Retro Night, celebrating the people that helped make this club what it is now.

It begins another home double header weekend and a chance for the Clan to help their play-off chances as we head into the business end of the campaign.

The Sheffield Steelers are in the building for this one and are chasing league glory for the second consecutive year, so points are at a premium.

Tickets for the game remain available so get them now from the Clan website. Face off is at 7:30pm, with doors opening at 6:00pm.

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’s game sponsors are our friends at KTR.

Steelers hoping to out-Fox the Clan

In the spirit of turning the clock back, the Clan will certainly aim to do something they haven’t done in almost three years and that’s defeat Sheffield Steelers on home ice.

Aaron Fox’s side have a terrific record in this part of the world, but will be well aware that the men in purple have picked up 16 points from the last possible 18 in this building.

Steelers picked up double figures in their last trip north of the border – a 10-4 thumping in Dundee – and with wins in their last three, they’ll feel momentum is starting to come again. 

Retro Night

As you may have seen across social media, we’re celebrating the team and the efforts of the Braehead Clan roster from the 2014-15 where we enjoyed the likes of Matt Keith, Kyle Jones, Stefan Meyer and other such heroes.

We’re looking forward to seeing some old shirts in the crowd tonight for this one so wear your variation of Clan jerseys with pride.

Box Office

The Braehead Arena box office is open between 5:30pm 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.

Please note, tickets for this game are limited so try and get them as early as possible and not leave it too late.
