With preparations well underway for the 21/22 NIHL National season, The Bespoke Guardians Swindon Wildcats are pleased to be announcing our plans for our annual Launch Day.

Whilst there may be a couple of small changes we cannot wait to welcome you all back to the Better Link Centre and to kick off the new season in style.

On Sunday 29th August we’ll be opening the door of the Better Link Centre for you all to come back and watch the class of 21/22 on the ice for the very first time.

Our player sponsors, press, and other invited guests will be able to join our press conference from 12 PM where the team will be introduced before a Q & A with Head Coach Aaron Nell.

At 12:45 PM Wildcat Sports will be open for our season ticket holders to collect their tickets ready for 30 games of exciting hockey action. At 1:15 the players will be welcomed onto the ice pad ready for the annual press photographs before the team goes through some drills with Aaron from 1:45 PM.

At 2:30 the team will head back to the locker room before we hand over to the Swindon Wildcats Supporters Club who’ll be hosting a BBQ in the garden at The Harvey which you are all welcome to attend.

The players will be in the pub from around 3 PM as we wrap up our launch day for another year.

This year you will need to register for a ticket from our website to gain access onto the balcony to watch the training session. These tickets are completely FREE but if you have not purchased a ticket in advance you will not be permitted to watch the launch session. This is for everyone, including our ST holders as this is an extra ticketed event.

Registering for a ticket will allow us to test our new ticketing system and also help us work through some of the Covid-19 protocols that we have to put in place for the new season.

We can’t wait to welcome everyone back for another season of Wildcats hockey, we hope you can all make it because we’ve missed our fans and are really looking forward to seeing everyone again.
