Aaron Fox leads the Sheffield Steelers into European competition for the first time during his tenure as Head Coach this evening, as the Steelers play the first of the IIHF Continental Cup fixtures in Denmark.

The Steelers face hosts Aalborg at 19:30 local time (18:30 UK) in a battle of two teams both fancied to advance to the next stage. Earlier in the day, Gomel of Belarus will play Latvian side Olimp Riga. 

Alborg lead the Danish league with an 11-3-1-4 record through 19 rounds. The Pirates are on a five-game winning run and have only lost one of their 10 games in regulation.

Head Coach Garth Murray played 116 NHL games before finishing his career in the AHL in 2012. He joined the Pirates as an assistant in 2017 before being promoted to the main job in early 2019.
