GAME DAY: What’s happening THIS WEDNESDAY at Braehead Arena

Midweek hockey is here and while we know who’s going through and who’s in the elimination play-off, Glasgow Clan and Belfast Giants still want the points for their efforts.

Clan won the previous meeting between the teams here, but as we all know, it’s a very different game we can expect this time around.

We’re all about what you can expect off the ice and around the arena so take a few minutes and check out what’s going to be going on.

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

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 match sponsor are our friends from Warrior Hockey.

Belfast arrive in Glasgow

There have been many a good game between Glasgow and Belfast in the past and chances are, we’re in for another good one tonight.

Adam Keefe’s side are always strong, well organised and dangerous on the attack and will use every facet of their team to achieve a victory.

But, as they know, winning here is never an easy task as both sides lock horns for some Challenge Cup points.

Box Office Open

The Braehead Arena box office is open between 3:00pm 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.

Safety & Security

We’ll get the important bits of information out of the way first so please take a minute to read over the Safety and Security information for Braehead Arena, making sure you have an enjoyable night.

Make sure to have your bags ready for searching, use both entrances and be kind and courteous while we carry out our necessary checks.

Prohibited Items

Please also make sure you read over the list of items prohibited in Braehead Arena to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment of tonight’s event.

Also, please refrain from wearing football colours before you visit the arena.

Early In & Win

As stated above, the doors open at 6pm, but you have a chance to be a winner just by scanning your ticket if you’re in early enough.  You read that right.

If your ticket is scanned in as you enter the arena within 30 minutes of doors opening, you will be entered into a prize draw where you could be a winner and could leave the arena clutching a full team signed road replica jersey.

Best of all, the league’s best mascot, Clangus, will deliver it to you personally during the first period.  How good will that be?

First period break entertainment

We welcome back the Longshot Challenge for your entertainment during the first period interval where we invite two players to basically hit as many pucks as they can into the net from the halfway line, a player at either side.

Shirt off the Back

Tonight’s Shirt off the Back is an alternate jersey, as worn by Clan’s #13 Mitchell Heard and it could be yours by the end of the evening.

Tickets are available from our sellers in the Arena foyer at only £1 each, remember the more you buy the more likely you are to win.

Listen out for the winning ticket number during the third period or check out our social media channels to find out if you’re a winner!

The 50/50 Draw

It’s back! You could go home with a big cash prize TONIGHT in our 50/50 draw.

Like Shirt off the Back, tickets are available from our sellers in the Arena at £1 each.  The more you buy, the better chance you have of winning a great jackpot.

Chuck a Puck

Pick up your purple pucks from the Chuck-a-Puck table just to the right of the main entrance just passed the merchandise stall, you can pay by cash or contactless card payments.

You could be in with a chance of winning a sausage roll maker as well as a £50 merchandise voucher.  Your prizes are just a throw away.

Stick Raffle

Tonight, you could win the signed stick of Clan netminder #29 Landon Bow in our stick raffle!

Tickets are available at the chuck-a-puck desk at only £1 each! You can pay by cash or contactless card payment.

We’re delighted to introduce our Next Day Draw where you could win a signed white pre-season jersey belonging to Clan defenceman #55 Chris McKay.

So, if you’ve purchased a 50/50 ticket, a Shirt off the Back or a Stick Raffle, keep them and we’ll announce tomorrow if you’re going to be the lucky recipient of Reece’s jersey.
