The Bespoke Guardians Swindon Wildcats are excited to be able to officially announce our fixtures list for the upcoming 23/24 Planet Ice NIHL National Division season!
We’re pleased to confirm that our first game of the season will be at home, where we’ll be back in competitive action at The Link Centre once again, where we’ll be hosting the Sheffield Steeldogs on Saturday 23rd September with a 18:30 face-off. Our first away game of the season is the following night, when we make the journey North to the Humber to face the Hull Seahawks on Sunday 24th September at 17:30.
Our first M4 Derby against the Bristol Pitbulls is early on in the season and we’ll look to paint things Red down South in back-to-back games. We make our first trip to ‘The Pound’ on Saturday 21st October with a 7pm start and we host the Pitbulls on the 22nd October, in what will be our only Sunday home game of the league season.
Over the festive period things may look a bit different to previous years… we have a Boxing Day clash at the Link Centre on the 26th December against the Bristol Pitbulls, before heading to their place on the following day on the 27th. We’ll end the year off with a pair of ‘New Years’ games against the MK Lightning, We’re set to host the Lightning on Saturday 30th December at 18:30, in our final game of the calendar year, and we’ll start off 2024 with the Lightning on New Years Day, January 1st!
Our final home game of the season is on Saturday 30th March against the Raiders, with our final game of the league season been against the Peterborough Phantoms the following night at Planet Ice Peterborough on the 31st March.
Head Coach Aaron Nell and your Swindon Wildcats team can’t wait for the season start and for things to get underway this September, and we can’t wait to see each and everyone of you back at the Link Centre soon!
League competition runs until Sunday 31st March 2024, and will be followed by playoffs across the next three weekends with two groups of 4 teams. The Coventry finals weekend will take place on the 27th/28th April 2024.
