PANTHERS PREPARING FOR OPENING GAME OF PRE-SEASON
Training camp is under way ahead of Sunday's opening game of pre-season at home against Angers on Sunday (23rd August) at 16:00.
All tickets cost just £12 (including arena fees) and very limited seats remain for the game against the French top-flight side which will see the return of our former coach Jonathan Paredes.
Block 1 has been opened up to Panthers supporters and the best availability is in this area. You're urged to secure your seats asap as this game looks set to sell-out.
The players started arriving in the country last week and some of them took advantage of ice at the Motorpoint Arena at the weekend.
The annual induction meeting, led by CEO Omr Pacha, took place on Monday morning for all the team and off-ice staff.
Head Coach Danny Stewart and Assistant Coach Linton Grant laid out their plans for the season in a meeting in the locker room.
Monday afternon saw the players undertake media duties which included photos and video for use by the Panthers and the Elite League this season, which included the ever-popular goal GIF celebrations.
The players hit the ice on Tuesday for the first official practice session and will now undergo daily sessions, on and off the ice, ahead of Sunday's game with Angers.
Make sure you are there with us on Sunday to welcome the 2026/27 Nottingham Panthers.
