WEEK AHEAD – November Reigns
It’s straight on to another week for Manchester Storm after a mixed weekend of results, but the desire to keep accumulating points continues.
Get ready for another Friday-Saturday combo as Storm take a road trip to begin the weekend before ending up back home to wrap things.
Let’s see what’s coming up for Cameron Critchlow’s side in the next seven days.
Friday 7th November
Nottingham Panthers vs Manchester Storm (Motorpoint Arena, Face off 7:00pm)
Panthers enjoyed home comforts at the weekend and like Storm, had mixed results to show for their efforts, but they did end with a 5-2 home win over Coventry Blaze.
Storm won there just last month so the recent memory of that will help the guys as they look to take league points from Danny Stewart’s men.
DID YOU KNOW?
Despite having won Challenge Cup ties in the last two seasons, Storm are looking for their first league win in Nottingham since 23rd December 2023 when Zack Phillips scored in overtime to secure a 5-4 victory.

Saturday 8th November
Manchester Storm vs Coventry Blaze (The Storm Shelter, Face off 7:00pm)
Coventry Blaze will be in the building on Saturday night in what will be our game to mark Remembrance Day and it’s sure to be another big occasion for both sides.
Blaze’s form has been patchy of late so it could be a case of not knowing which Coventry side will turn up for Cameron Critchlow and his team, but you can be sure they’ll be up for it.
Storm have four wins out of five on home ice while Blaze have lost two out of three on the road. It could mean a lot, or it could mean nothing. We’ll have to wait and see on the night.
DID YOU KNOW?
Storm have won their last three against Coventry Blaze on home ice, including September’s 6-4 Challenge Cup victory over Kevin Moore’s side.
