PANTHERS HOST STORM IN WINNER-TAKES-ALL CUP ENCOUNTER
🎟 SUNDAY KIDS FOR A QUID: PANTHERS v STORM - BUY TICKETS 🎟
The Nottingham Panthers host Manchester Storm in a Challenge Cup winner-takes-all encounter at the Motorpoint Arena (4pm face-off).
Manchester's 6-4 win over Sheffield Steelers last night moved them level with the Panthers on six points in Group C.
It means whoever wins in Nottingham this afternoon will progress to the knockout stages of the Challenge Cup.
Team News
The Panthers have no new injury concerns, so Duggie Lagrone (injured reserve) is the only player unavailable.
Activities for all the family
It's Kids for a Quid at the Motorpoint Arena and there's so much fun for all the family throughout the afternoon.
It's worth getting down to the rink early as there'll be fun and games on Bolero Square from 1pm including...

📸 Ice hockey photoboard to take pictures with
🏆 A raffle every half an hour with some amazing prizes, ending with a mega prize at 3:30pm

After the game, the players will be available in Saltbox to meet the fans and sign autographs, while there will also be a selection of merchandise on sale with a pop-up shop from Ice Locker.
Win with the Panthers
There's special prizes in today's Chuck-a-Puck including a meal for two at Annie's Burger Shack, some Paws merchandise and a big bucket of sweets. Pucks cost £1 each and can be purchased in the foyer. Chuck-a-Puck takes place at the start of the second intermission and to win, you simply need to land your puck closest to Paws in the centre face-off circle.
Tickets for the Fifty50 raffle - in association with Temple Printing - are sold in the foyer and around the rink for £1 each. The lucky winner will go home with a huge cash prize.
The Shirt Off His Back raffle is also £1 and check out the sellers in the foyer and around the concourse. The winner can chose which shirt they want and the player will literally take it off their back and present it to them on the ice.
If you aren't successful in either prize draw, please make sure you keep your tickets. All tickets from both draws are put back into the hat for the second-prize draw and the winner will be announced on our social media channels and website on Monday.
