MATCH PREVIEW: Storm Face Clan in Boxing Day Game!

Join us this Boxing Day as Manchester Storm face the Glasgow Clan, 26th December, 17:30PM face-off!

There were no home games last weekend as your Go Goodwins Manchester Storm faced Belfast Giants in an away double header, returning home for Christmas with two points, after winning 3-2 in a thrilling shootout on Friday 21st. Sunday wasn’t in Storm’s favour, as they were unable to obtain a win the second time in a row. The two teams don’t face each other again until March.
