GAME DAY: What’s happening at Braehead Arena on SATURDAY NIGHT
It’s back to business at home and after one storm and another one incoming tomorrow (not an actual storm), the Sheffield Steelers are back in this part of the world.
Aaron Fox and his men were here just two weeks ago and took a 3-1 win away with them, so you know they’ll be keen to scoop the points again.
We’ll get to the game in due course, so take a few minutes and check out what you can expect to see around Braehead Arena in this, the first of a home double header weekend.
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.
Tonight’s game sponsor, we are delighted to welcome our friends from The Ogilvie Group.
Fox on the bench
It’s another meeting with the Sheffield Steelers, who are doing all they can as they try to defend the league title they won last season.
They’re nine points from the top with a game in hand over leaders Belfast Giants and will have earmarked this fixture as a way to get back to winning ways after Sunday’s 6-2 loss to Guildford Flames.
On the road, they’ve lost their last two since they were in this building a fortnight ago so head coach Aaron Fox will have spent the week plotting a victory for his team.
Box Office Open
The Braehead Arena box office is open between 5:00pm and 7:30pm, 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 very limited so try and get them as early as possible and not leave it too late.
