SATURDAY NIGHT GAMEDAY: PANTHERS HOST GUILDFORD
🎟 TONIGHT (SATURDAY) 7PM: PANTHERS v GUILDFORD - BUY TICKETS HERE 🎟
Nottingham Panthers host Guildford Flames at the Motorpoint Arena in the Elite League this evening (7pm face-off).
It's the start of a huge weekend with tonight's game followed by tomorrow's trip to Cardiff Devils in the Challenge Cup.
This is Guildford's second visit of the season to Lower Parliament Street after Panthers won 4-3 in the cup in mid-September.
Panthers go into the game in great form with seven wins in the past eight matches, including back-to-back wins against Manchester Storm (4-3) and Fife Flyers (6-0) last weekend.
Head Coach, Danny Stewart, said: "Guildford play fast and they are dangerous. They have a lot of good players.
"They have a lot of skill. If you don't manage the puck they will get on the wrong side of you and punish you.
"They have a good goaltending duo and a good defensive core. As ever, we will have to be at our best."
Tonight's game - which is sponsored by Nottingham Trent University Business School - is our Winter White-Out and we encourage everyone to come dressed in white.
There's a real Christmas feel at the Motopoint Aren today with Santa Paws in his grotto in the foyer and the East Leake Liberty Singers will be belting out your favourite Christmas tunes.
Tickets can be purchased in-person from the Box Office ahead of face-off or secure your seats now online.
Team News in association with Evolve Injury Clinic
Panthers will still be without forward Matt Alfaro this evening for the visit of the Flames to Nottingham.
Defenceman Cooper Zech was back in the line-up last weekend and it's hoped forward Tim Doherty, who has been out of action since 23rd November, will return tonight.
Charity of the Month
Our Charity of the Month, Nottinghamshire Blood Bikes, are in the foyer and have their bikes on the plaza.
They're running a raffle to win a signed replica jersey which will be drawn on New Year's Eve when we face Coventry Blaze.
Panthersland
The new expanded Panthersland is well worth a visit. Situated on Bolero Square, this has a huge range of merchandise for young and old.
With Christmas around the corner, a perfect time to pop in and find someone a special present!
Panthers Vault is now a massive £3,900 or gamble for the Mystery Box
The Panthers Vault - in association with Interseal Fire Protection - just keeps on rising and is now a massive £3,900. Tickets cost just £1 and if yours is drawn out of the hat, you go on the ice with DJ Ken Feast to try to win the money inside the vault in the second intermission. 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 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. Dare you give up the chance to go for the money to open the Mystery Box? What's inside? Nobody knows!
Chuck-a-Puck
Chuck-a-Puck - sponsored by Motorpoint - is great fun for all the family. It takes place in the second intermission and the winner is the person who lands their puck closest to Paws at centre-ice. The winner gets a photo with their favourite player at the end of the game, a signed puck and a voucher for two pizzas.
There's a bonus prize too! A remote control car drives around the centre-circle. If your puck lands inside the cockpit of the car, you have a chance to win the bonus prize of two tickets to an event at the Motorpoint Arena. Pucks cost £1 each and are on sale from sellers around the rink.
