Sheffield Winter Classic Junior Exhibition Game


Sheffield Winter Classic – Pre-Match Exhibition Game

On Saturday 27th December the inaugural Sheffield Winter Classic Game between Spartans & Senators will take place at Ice Sheffield. Prior to this game there will be an exhibition game involving SIHA U14’s players from Stormers & Sabres.

Both teams currently sit at the top of their respective tables with a 100% win record from five games. Sheffield Stormers have scored 46 goals in their opening 5 games with Tyler Nixon the highest goal scorer on the team with Sam Colton, Louis Morgan, William Newcombe & Leon Shaw all have double point figures. Defensively they are sound, conceding just one goal to date for which netminder Curtis Warburton tops the netminding stats with a 98.36 save percentage.

Sheffield Sabres have a good bunch of kids playing for them too and have worked their socks off to be top of the pile at this early stage. Max Hirst & Ben O’Brien boast impressive scoring records; one’s that see them 2nd & 3rd in their league’s goal scoring charts. Just like Stormers, Sabres have a good defence and can rely on two excellent netminders in Ben Norton & Charlie Renzi who are currently in the top 5 netminders for their league.  

After such a good start, expectations are high for both teams this season and rightly so. Both teams typify what it’s all about, not just the academy but Sheffield ice hockey generally. We are both pleased and honoured that Stormers & Sabres have agreed to give us an exhibition game before the Sheffield Winter Classic Game…Stormers & Sabres game will face-off at 3.30pm.
