Manchester Storm v Sheffield Steelers – Wednesday 18th December – Planet Ice Altrincham –  F/O 19:30 (Challenge Cup Quarter Final)

Manchester Storm face visitors, Sheffield Steelers this Wednesday in what will be a highly contested game. Last Wednesday the Storm travelled over to Sheffield for the first leg of the Challenge Cup QF in hopes of a road win. The final result was 5-2 to the Steelers, Simmonds claiming both the Storm goals.

The Storm look to make a comeback this Wednesday. The last few games between both sides have been very competitive, with Storm getting six wins in a row on home ice.

It has been extremely competitive so far between both sides – the Storm outscoring Steelers 15-7 in both Challenge Cup and EIHL clashes so far this season.

Coach Finnerty commented: “The team is buzzing from Sunday’s result. We will be short a couple players but our resilience will come through. If I’m honest, we really need our fan support. This young team really deserves to see the impact of a packed shelter and we feel we have the chance to comeback in this important game.”
