Motorpoint Named Manchester Storm’s Official Chuck-a-Puck Partner for the 2026/27 Season

Manchester Storm are delighted to announce Motorpoint as the club’s Official Chuck-a-Puck Partner for the 2026/27 season, further strengthening the relationship between the club and the naming rights partner of the Elite Ice Hockey League.

The partnership will see Motorpoint become part of one of Manchester Storm’s most popular gameday activations, Chuck-a-Puck, giving supporters the chance to get involved in the action and win prizes during the second intermission of home games.

A firm fan favourite, Chuck-a-Puck invites supporters to purchase a numbered foam puck* for £1 before throwing it onto the ice during the second break. Fans can aim for either Lightning Jack at centre ice or the mini-Motorpoint car as it makes its way around the rink. Those who land a puck* in the car can win four tickets to a Manchester Storm game of their choice, while the supporter whose puck lands closest to Lightning Jack wins a replica jersey of their choice.

Numbered pucks* are available from sellers around the arena concourse before or during games, including the OSC desk behind sections 102/103, the bar area behind sections 104/105, near the bar behind section 112 and behind sections 116/117.

The announcement follows Motorpoint’s landmark five-season partnership with the Elite Ice Hockey League, which will see the competition known as the Motorpoint Elite League until 2031. As the league’s Principal Commercial Partner, Motorpoint will have a presence across all teams, supporting initiatives that engage supporters and enhance the fan experience throughout the season.

The partnership with Manchester Storm provides a further opportunity for Motorpoint to connect with the club’s passionate fanbase while supporting the continued growth of ice hockey across the UK.

We're delighted to welcome Motorpoint on board as our Official Chuck-a-Puck partner for the 2026/27 season.

Mark Noakes. Director of Operations & Business Development at Manchester Storm, said.

Motorpoint’s commitment to ice hockey through its partnership with the Elite League is fantastic for the sport, and we’re pleased to be building on that relationship here at Manchester Storm. “Chuck-a-Puck is a great way for our fans to get involved on game nights, and we look forward gameday experience throughout the season.

As Principal Commercial Partner of the Elite League, we’re looking to build on our partnership by creating more opportunities to connect with fans and enhance their experience throughout the season. We’re delighted to partner with Manchester Storm on Chuck-a-Puck, giving us another great way to engage supporters while bringing the Motorpoint brand to life in the arena.

With our Manchester store just 2.2 miles from the AO Arena, we’re looking forward to exploring more opportunities to bring our local Motorpoint team closer to the Storm team and its supporters throughout the season.

The partnership marks another step in Manchester Storm’s commitment to delivering an engaging gameday experience for supporters, while giving Motorpoint a new opportunity to connect with the club’s passionate fanbase.

*A gentle reminder to please take a photo of your numbered puck before throwing it onto the ice, so you have a record of your number.
