Welcome to the spookiest night of the year as we celebrate Halloween Storm-style with the visit of Fife Flyers to begin another thriller of a weekend.

There’s plenty to get through as we set the scene for the night ahead, but your weekend starts here.  Just don’t forget your fancy dress.

Tickets are available here to purchase and you can find the webcast here, if you’d rather stay in and watch.  Face off is at 7:30pm.

NEXT IN THE STORM SHELTER…

Fife Flyers are in the building and the only team yet to pick up an Elite League point this season, but that doesn’t mean Storm can simply turn up.

Absolutely not and Fife will look to put the frighteners on their Manchester counterparts in this Friday night Elite League affair.

It’s an opportunity to end a tricky October with a couple more points on the board and stay in the top end of the standings heading into November.

 

TICKETS/WEBCAST

Tickets are still available for the clash so there’s still time to buy yours at the time of posting.

You can buy yours online at this website or alternatively they can also be purchased by calling 0161 926 8782 or in person at the Planet Ice Altrincham Box Office.

Tune in and be part of another big night of hockey in Manchester!

 

PLAYER TO WATCH

Garet Hunt (Fife Flyers) – He’s a player opposition fans love to hate, but his contribution on the ice has made him a firm favourite with the Flyers faithful.

A tough, no nonsense left winger, his experience is invaluable to this new-look Fife team, with over 800 East Coast games under his belt.

Handy on the puck and good at reading the game, Storm will do well to keep him quiet as Fife look to spring a road win from the Storm Shelter.

 

PREVIOUS MEETING

Fife Flyers made the trip from Kirkcaldy for this Elite League clash earlier this month and it was a good night all round for the Storm, who picked up a big home win.
