NEWS: Clan head to Germany as part of 2024/25 pre-season

Nine years after facing ERC Ingolstadt in the Champions Hockey League, Purple Army we’re off to Germany once again!

The Glasgow Clan will play in the first ever Invitational Pro Tournament in Kaufbeuren over the weekend of Saturday 31st August & Sunday 1st September.

We will be joined in the pre-season competition by RedBull Salzburg, Jokerit Helsinki and hosts ESV Kaufbeuren.

The Saturday will see the Clan face newly crowned ICEHL Champions RedBull Salzburg in the 1st semi-final (2:30pm face-off), with Jokerit playing ESVK in the 2nd semi-final (6:30pm face-off).

The Sunday will see the losers of the semi-finals play a bronze meal game (2:30pm face-off), with the winners of the semi-finals progressing to the tournament’s final (6:30pm face-off).

Clan Managing Director Gareth Chalmers commented: “Firstly we’d like to thank everyone at Warrior for working with us to make our participation in the tournament work.

“We’ve have been partners with Warrior for nearly a decade now, so it seemed very fitting that we accepted the invitation to their first ever Pro Tournament in Kaufbeuren.

“It will be a very competitive part of our preparations for the start of the 2024/25 season, playing the 11 time Austrian champions RedBull Salzburg, and then going onto play the 6 time Finnish champions Jokerit or a storied German club in ESV Kaufbeuren.

“Like myself, I am sure many of the Purple Army will have fond memories of our last visit to Bavaria. It will be another fantastic weekend for the fans, whether you’re able to join us in Germany or watch from home.”
