Cardiff Devils, Coventry Blaze and Nottingham Panthers will all enter competitive fixtures in Week 2 of the 2024/25 Elite Ice Hockey League season.

The trio finished their pre-season games this past weekend and will make their debuts in the new season this weekend. 

Nottingham's opening game of the season sees them in Manchester on Friday night before Danny Stewart's first competitive home game in charge against Guildford on Sunday - both cup fixtures.

Cardiff Devils start at home in the league with the visit of Glasgow Clan to the Vindico Arena after the Scottish side were the only team not to pick up a point on opening weekend. The Devils head to Guildford on Sunday for cup action.

Coventry Blaze, meanwhile, have a one-game weekend to ease themselves into the new season with Clan the visitors as part of a pair of road games south of the border.

Elsewhere in Week 2, Belfast Giants return home after a pair of road wins to face Dundee in their first home game once of the new season, while Fife host Manchester. The Flyers are the visitors in Dundee on Sunday.
