The new Elite League season edges ever closer and the start of action for The Nottingham Panthers in 2023-24 with the ice being relaid at the Motorpoint Arena.

It was removed at the end of May when the refrigeration system was turned off to leave most of the ice to melt naturally. The final 20 millimetres were then cut out by diggers to reveal the concrete surface.

Last week, around 50.000 litres of water was frozen before the lines and logos were painted in preparation for the new campaign.

Pre-season gets under way in September with the first home match taking place on Sunday 10th September against Sheffield Steelers (4pm) in the GM the GM Memorial Cup.

Coventry Blaze visit the Motorpoint Arena in the Aladdin Cup on Saturday 16th September (7pm), before the 2023-24 Elite League campaign begins at home to Manchester Storm on Sunday 24th September (4pm).
