Ready for the start of a very busy 10 days of hockey? You better be!
The festive period is always jam-packed, and Week 16 brings the first part of that schedule.
Before Christmas arrives, there is one final game to be played: Manchester host Dundee on Tuesday night in Altrincham, the last fixture before the seasonal rush begins.
Boxing Day features a full slate of games across the league. Sheffield Steelers are on course to break the EIHL attendance record when they face Nottingham Panthers at the Motorpoint Arena, with faceoff at 4pm. At the same time, a sold-out Vindico Arena awaits as Cardiff Devils host Coventry Blaze. Manchester Storm face Guildford Flames in their second home game of the week.
In Scotland, Glasgow Clan welcome Dundee Stars to Braehead Arena as part of their festive series, while Belfast Giants round out the day with a 7pm faceoff at the SSE Arena against Fife Flyers.
Those fixtures are then reversed on 27 December, with the exception of Fife’s home game against Belfast, which takes place on 28 December to close the week.
And then we’ll get to the New Year schedule!
