The weekend is here, you're one of the 3,110 people that managed to get tickets, and we are pleased to present you with the top 10 reasons to be pumped about Saturday night.  Here we go...

IT'S A HELL OUT - We've got another sold out show on Saturday night and we know that the bigger the crowd, the better the atmosphere.  So bring the noise from the opening face-off and let the boys feed off the energy in the stands!

sold-out-arena-2024-25.jpgSANNY IS BACK - The man, the myth, the legend returns for his 4th season after taking a slight detour to Germany for a couple of weeks.  He is cleared to play and will make his home debut on Saturday night.

WE'RE BACK IN BLACK - For the first time this season, we are wearing our black jerseys and someone is going to win the sweaty, soaking jersey off the back of one of the players.  Let's go with Sanford's number 96.

NEWFOUNDLAND'S FINEST - Cody Donaghey (number 44)  is playing some of his best hockey as a Devil right now, partnering with Andrew MacWilliam (number 2) on the back end to form an absolutely awesome defensive pairing.  The other Newfoundlander we are extremely happy about is Zach O'Brien (number 86) who had a big opening weekend with a goal and two assists over the two games.

FEED YOUR SOUL - We've got new and improved food options this season including a new range of hotdogs from Rollover and a variety of Pastys from the Phat Pasty Company including our most popular addition to the menu, the vegan pasty.  We've also got our pizza stand in the main bar and food/drink available at all stalls and the main café.

pastys-hotdogs.jpgTRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE - We've got a jam packed match night programme with stories on 10 years of Ownership, the return of Cole Sanford, a profile of former Devil Sean Bentivoglio and much, much more.  Pick yours up from any of the match night sales stands throughout the Arena.
