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

Round up the gang and get yourselves over to Braehead Arena for the start of a two-day hoedown as we bring a little country flavour to the usual ice hockey frolics.

It’s day one of our two-day themed weekend and we welcome Coventry Blaze to Glasgow once again with play-off points very much at stake.

After a couple of weeks on the road, the Clan will be glad to see the Purple Army making noise and cheering them on so for now, we’ll concentrate on what you can expect around the place.

Limited 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.

Blaze, no saddles

Coventry Blaze are the only team Corey Neilson’s side have yet to beat this season and this is the last chance of changing that in front of a home crowd.

Results this weekend should confirm Kevin Moore’s men as the fifth to clinch a berth in the play-offs, but they’ll want to do it in style with a victory in Glasgow.

Round up the Rink 

It’s another one of our theme weekends, this time we’re adding a country twist to proceedings with a specially designed warm-up and game jersey.

So get in the mood with your cowboy hats, cowboy boots and anything else you have to join in what will be a fun weekend.

All you need to know can be found on this article on the Clan website.

Liam Somerville & The Streetlight Band
