Storm call off game after 'technical issue with ice'
Manchester Storm call off their Challenge Cup match against the Nottingham Panthers at the AO Arena because of what the club call a 'technical issue with the ice'.
Manchester Storm have rescheduled their Challenge Cup match against Nottingham Panthers due to a technical issue with the ice at AO Arena. The original fixture, scheduled for Sunday at 16:00 BST, was suspended just minutes before the revised start time of 19:30. The club expressed sincere apologies to supporters and ticket holders for the disruption and assured that the tickets would be valid for a rescheduled game on October 14.
Established in 1995, the team had previously played at Manchester Arena before moving to AO Arena in 2002. The recent return to AO Arena was due to the growing popularity of ice hockey and the goal to attract more fans to the 23,000-capacity venue.
