GAME NIGHT COMPETITIONS

CHUCK-A-PUCK

Takes place at the start of the 2nd period break.

Don't worry, our pucks are made from foam so they won't hurt, but as the name suggests, you buy a puck, you chuck a puck and if your puck lands on a prize, you win! Throwing skills are not essential and the adults are just as competitive as the kids.

Pucks can be purchased from our branded booths before the game starts and also during the first period break (at the entrance, ice rink, and Match Night Competition table on the first floor concourse).

Loads of prizes each week:

  • £100 Minimum Cash Prize (if your puck lands in the bucket; shared if multiple pucks enter)
  • 2 Prizes of a bag/box of chocolates
  • £10 Merch Voucher (for the HockeyHub shop at the Link Centre)

KEY INFORMATION & RULES

  • It is important to remove the number ticket that is stuck to the puck, as prizes cannot be claimed without the winning ticket!
  • Listen to the announcer for safety instructions before throwing the puck.
  • Fans seated in the balcony must throw from the barrier, not from their seats.
  • All pucks should be thrown before the end of the allotted time (there will be a countdown).
  • Winners can collect prizes from the Supporters Club desk ideally before the end of the second period break.
50/50 Draw

50/50 DRAW

ENTERTAINMENT

Our game nights include a variety of entertainment such as figure skating performances, live musicians, junior games, themed nights and more. Updates can be found on our website and social media channels.

Some fixtures are Fan-Fest games. These include pre-game and post-game entertainment, themed nights, and in some cases special themed jerseys which may be auctioned after the game. We will clearly label these events so you do not miss out.

We are always working on new ways to enhance the game night experience, so stay tuned to our social channels for announcements.
