WEEK AHEAD – New week and new opportunities

It’s been quite the last couple of weeks with games galore over what has been a hectic festive period so this week is quite serene by comparison.

It doesn’t mean what’s to come isn’t any less important as Manchester Storm cross off two more fixtures from the 2025/26 list.

Let’s take a look at the next seven days ahead and see what awaits for Cameron Critchlow and his team.

Saturday 10th January

Manchester Storm vs Cardiff Devils (The Storm Shelter, Face off 7:00pm)

WEBCAST

You can’t beat some Saturday night hockey and this one won’t be beaten when Cardiff Devils return to the Storm Shelter for this meeting.

It’s fair to say the previous encounters have had an edge to them so this one has all the credentials to keep that story going.

There’s never a dull night when Storm and Devils both come out to play so get your tickets for this one – you won’t be disappointed.

DID YOU KNOW?

Nick Welsh (2+3), Kaleb Ergang (2+3) and Brady Gilmour (1+4) are all top points scorers in games against Cardiff Devils this season in all competitions.

Sunday 11th January

Belfast Giants vs Manchester Storm (SSE Arena, Face off 4:00pm)

WEBCAST

There’s no rest for the wicked as it’s up and out early for the Storm as it’s a trip to Northern Ireland for a Sunday get together with the Belfast Giants.

This is the last visit across the Irish Sea for Manchester in the regular season and after two creditable performances, but only one win from the double header there in November, it would be a great way to finish the weekend.

It goes without saying it’s one of the toughest venues to visit, but Storm have had success before out there and could do again in this latest meeting between the teams.

DID YOU KNOW?

Manchester Storm are the only opponents to have limited Belfast to scoring one goal or less over the last year, achieving it twice in March and in November.
