Elite Ice Hockey League match between the Manchester Storm and the Coventry Blaze at the AO Arena.
Manchester Storm are back at the AO Arena on Friday 30 October, taking on Coventry Blaze in an Elite Ice Hockey League clash. It's a big one for the club: the Storm are returning to the AO Arena, their iconic city-centre home, after more than 20 years away. For anyone who remembers the old days, it's a proper homecoming.
On the ice, it's a fast-paced game. The Storm describe it as an Elite league clash with rapid skating, big hits, spectacular goals and plenty of drama in front of a passionate home crowd. If you've never seen ice hockey live, that's a fair summary of what to expect: the game moves quickly, the hits are heavy, and the atmosphere usually builds around the home support.

It's a Friday night in the city, so the logistics are straightforward. The AO Arena is right by Victoria Station, so you can get in and out easily. Doors open at 6pm, with the puck dropping at 7:30pm. Tickets start from £10, which is a decent entry point for a night of sport in the centre.
