MANCHESTER STORM V DUNDEE STARS – SATURDAY 2ND MARCH, 19:00 FACE-OFF, PLANET ICE ALTRINCHAM

Tonight is another special game, as the Manchester Storm say thank you to legendary match night presenter, Jon Hammond. The club have framed his renowned yellow jacket, which will be presented to Jon at the game as a thank you for all the hard work and effort he put into the club, during Storm times both old and new.

With Dundee currently sitting only one point behind the Storm in the EIHL table, this game is crucial on the run up to playoffs. It’s sure to be an exciting game to witness, as Storm aim to retain their place in the top eight.

The last time the two teams competed for two points on home ice was just two weeks ago. Storm took the two points in regular time winning 3-2 – goals from Hammond, Stadel and Auger.

The Stars announced a few days ago that defencemen, Petr Chaloupka and Mike Sullivan will be back in this weekends lineup, following injuries that left player-coach Omar Pacha recently stepping back onto the ice to help out.

Returning to the Storm lineup tonight is defenceman, Linden Springer. Evan Richardson is also returning to tonight’s lineup, after concussion saw him sitting out for the last few games. Hull Pirates’, British forward, Bobby Chamberlain is stepping up onto the squad this evening. Tonight sees the return of Ash Smith as backup netminder.

Don’t forget, if you were a lucky winner of the special Pink the Rink jerseys following Tuesday’s raffle draw, you can go and collect your jersey post game. All you need to do is head to Jack’s bar, where you will get a photo with said player and have the opportunity to get it signed. Make sure you bring your jersey winning raffle ticket with you as proof.
