NEXT IN THE STORM SHELTER…
Dundee Stars are here for this Tuesday contest, and it’s not been the best of times for the men from Tayside in the last few weeks.
The results don’t lie, with some heavy defeats underpinning their recent progress, but it doesn’t make them any less of a threat as they look to turn their recent downturn in form around with some points here.
Storm are also looking for some pre-Christmas points so we have the making of a fascinating contest in what is the only show in town across the Elite League tonight.
CHRISTMAS JUMPER NIGHT
It’s only right that we make it as fun as possible as we encourage all fans to don their festive knitwear and show off their Christmas jumpers.
No matter how naff, how wild, how colourful, even how plain, let’s all get into the Christmas spirit and see what you’ve got.
For this game, we’re offering discounted tickets and some great prizes along the way so make sure you’re in situ for this.

THE STORY SO FAR
11 Oct – Manchester 4 Dundee 3 PS (Elite League)
25 Oct – Dundee 1 Manchester 4 (Elite League)
Tonight sees the team meet for the third time this season, where Storm have taken maximum points so far, compared to Dundee’s one.
In terms of the standings, there’s a bit of a gulf between the teams, with Dundee having taken just nine points from their 16 games, the lowest number out of all ten teams it must e said.
Storm slipped to sixth at the weekend and have 21 points from 18 games.
LAST TIME OUT
Storm picked up two road points in Dundee when the teams last met, with Joseph Nardi nabbing two goals and an assist as part of the 4-1 victory.
It was Storm’s third win in their last four trips to Tayside.
