SIHA Inaugural Winter Classic Game

INAUGURAL WINTER CLASSIC GAME: SHEFFIELD SPARTANS V SHEFFIELD SENATORS

Saturday 27th December 2014, 4.15pm Face Off at Ice Sheffield

We are hosting a game on Saturday 27th December, Sheffield Spartans v Sheffield Senators: 4.15pm face off, which we hope will become an annual Christmas event.

This will be the very first competitive game between the two SIHA senior teams; the Sheffield Spartans and the Sheffield Senators. Both teams play respectively in two separate NIHL North leagues. The Spartans being the higher rated team and the older of the two senior teams with this season being their 10th anniversary in which time the Spartans have enjoyed their share of success and in doing so have established the name Spartans. The Spartans have a host of names that have played for them over the years who have now moved on to better things but the team today still has some experienced players who have devoted themselves to the team season after season.

Sheffield Senators play a division below the Spartans and were formed 5 seasons ago in order to further development at the Sheffield Academy and has had some of the present day Spartans pass through their ranks after developing at senior level in what is a very competitive league that the Senators play in. But to those players, they deserved to progress and it makes way for the next batch of hopefuls to get their chance and prosper and to continue the progressive development of Sheffield junior ice hockey players for which both the Spartans and Senators are a vital component.

Sheffield Ice Hockey Academy Joe Walker commented on the game...”This Winter Classic is a first for the clubs two senior teams but it has the makings of a good competitive clash and one I hope the fans of both teams look forward to watching as the two go head to head, play in the right spirit and give you a game to remember. They say Christmas is a time for giving well that’s what is in store from both teams as they will be giving there all in the Sheffield Winter Classic”.

Our aim is to celebrate both teams with this game, whilst having lots of Christmas fun. There will be fantastic raffle prizes including a specially designed Spartans/Senators hockey shirt, signed by all the lads from both teams and an U14 exhibition game before our game from 3.30pm… Make a note of the date Saturday 27th of December 2014 face off 16.30pm ice Sheffield the home of Honesty and Passion. See you there…
