Pass the Pizza in association with Jon Doe
We're giving away 10 pizzas at every home game this season thanks to Jon Doe. The giveaway takes place in the second-period powerbreak. If you're holding a pizza box when the music stops, take it to the Panthers Kiosk in the foyer to exchange it for a voucher code to claim your pizza.

It's now a stunning £2,000 on Panthers Vault and there's a winner every time
The Panthers Vault - in association with Interseal Fire Protection - is now up to a stunning £2,000. Tickets cost £1 and if yours is drawn out of the hat, you go on the ice with DJ Ken Feast and try to win the money inside the vault. Choose one of the players from the Panthers roster shown on the jumbotron to reveal a four-digit code and see if it unlocks the vault. The contestant who goes rinkside with Ken won't be leaving empty-handed whether they crack the code or not, with two tickets for an arena show on offer at each home game. The tickets are kindly donated by the arena's main sponsor, Motorpoint.
Chances to win in Chuck-a-Puck, Shirt Raffle and Fifty50
Chuck-a-Puck is sponsored by Midlands Chauffeurs and pucks cost £1 each. It takes place during the second intermission and the winner is the person who lands their puck closest to Paws at centre-ice. The winner is invited onto the ice at the end of the game for a photo with their favourite player and receive a signed puck, as well as a code for two free pizzas.
There's 24 chances to win in tonight's game-worn Shirt Off His Back. The whole roster is up-for-grabs including Paws! Tickets cost £1 from sellers around the rink.
Tickets for the Fifty50 raffle are sold for £1 each. The lucky winner will go home with a fantastic cash prize.
If you aren't successful in either the Shirt Raffle, Fifty50 or Panthers Vault competitions, please make sure you keep your tickets. All three sets of tickets are put back into the hat for the second-prize draw and the winner will be announced on our social media channels and website within the next couple of days.
