Lightning Strikes First In Cardiff Devils 2017-18 Fixtures

Cardiff Devils open their domestic ice hockey season against Elite League new boys MK Lightning and Guildford Flames.

Head coach Andrew Lord and his team entertain Lightning on Saturday, September 9 before going to Guildford the next evening. Both are Challenge Cup fixtures.

Devils then turn to League action against Sheffield Steelers away and Nottingham Panthers at home the following weekend.

The schedule is similar to last season with almost an even split between Saturday and Sunday home games.

Devils also host two Friday night games at Ice Arena Wales in Cardiff Bay.

Face-off times will remain the same for Saturdays (7pm) and Sundays (6pm) with the Friday nights starting at 7.30pm.

Devils again travel to Belfast for a double header, but there will be no Scottish triple header.

Ticket information is available on the club’s official website at cardiffdevils.com
