For the next couple of weeks, ice hockey fans will have plenty of games to keep them interested over the festive period.
From today, there will be games every night until 3rdJanuary 2019, with exception of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
It’s a busy time for everyone concerned and for some teams, it’s a defining couple of weeks as we start to see who will show themselves to be genuine Elite League contenders and those who aren’t.
The 11 teams will play between five and eight games each in a congested spell, which began when Guildford Flames hosted Sheffield Steelers in the Challenge Cup last night.
