Week 4 of the 2024/25 Elite Ice Hockey League season is our first complete schedule of the new campaign, with all 10 teams in action twice over a three-day period.

We start this week on Friday night, but this time in Cardiff! After two consecutive Friday home games, Manchester Storm are on the road this time as they take on the Devils at the Vindico Arena. Cardiff ran out 5-1 winners in Manchester in Week 3.

Saturday is a big night for Glasgow Clan, as they finally play their first home game of the season. Fans at Braehead Arena will be looking forward to the new jumbotron which was installed this off-season. Cardiff Devils are the visitors. Saturday's early start sees Guildford take on Coventry in the Cup, while Belfast begin a weekend road trip in Manchester.

It's also a rivalry Saturday with two big derby games: Fife Flyers host local rivals Dundee Stars for the first time this season, while unbeaten Nottingham Panthers and Sheffield Steelers go head-to-head at the Motorpoint Arena.

Sunday sees the Steelers back on home ice to face the Giants, both of whom may still have perfect records heading into the game depending on results the previous night. There's more rivalry action in Scotland with Glasgow heading into Dundee, while Danny Stewart will make his first return to the Skydome since moving to Nottingham for the visit of the Panthers to Coventry.

Week 4 comes to a close with Guildford, playing back-to-back home games, entertaining Fife.
