Can you believe it's already Week 17 of the 2021/22 Premier Sports Elite League season? Us neither!

With teams coming out of COVID-19 protocol and games being added into the schedule, this week is already shaping up to be a big one with games on six days out of seven.

Actions starts on Tuesday night in Glasgow with the visit of Manchester - this will be Clan's first game back out of protocol.

On Wednesday we turn our attention to the Premier Sports Challenge Cup. The day's big game is in Belfast where Coventry take a one-goal lead into the second leg. The Blaze are the only team to beat the Giants in their last 11 games! Sheffield and Fife begin their Quarter-Final series at the Utilita Arena, while back up in Glasgow the Clan host Cardiff in league action.

On Thursday, Manchester finish their midweek Scottish road trip in Dundee as both teams look for valuable points in what will be the Stars' first game back since their re-entry to protocol.

Then we get to Friday night, and it's Pride night in Belfast in a huge clash against Cardiff. Coventry also host their Pride Night on Friday when they host the Steelers, while Clan play their third home game in four nights welcoming Nottingham to Braehead.

If that wasn't enough hockey already, Saturday is an eight-team, four-game night! Clan head over to Dundee, while Sheffield and Guildford meet again in Yorkshire. Belfast make the trip across the Irish Sea to Manchester, while the Panthers play their second game of a Scottish road trip in Fife. 

Sunday sees the Panthers' finish their 3in3 in Dundee, Cardiff home to Fife, and Coventry travelling to Guildford.

It's going to be a huge week!
