The Stena Line Belfast Giants 2016/17 Elite League season schedule has been announced with the opening game just over five weeks away when the Giants will open with a Challenge Cup game on the road in Fife on Saturday 3rd September.
The Giants will go in search of a fifth Elite League championship with the organisation’s most recent success in the 2013/14 season when they clinched the title in February with over ten games remaining.
The first Belfast home game of the new campaign will take place at The SSE Arena the following weekend on Saturday 10th September against the Fife Flyers.
There are 30 guaranteed home games, not including exhibition games in August, with the Giants playing all standalone Challenge Cup group games against Braehead, Dundee, Edinburgh and Fife.
There are nine home games across the December and New Year period starting on Saturday 17th December against the Nottingham Panthers and culminating with a ‘double header’ against the Sheffield Steelers in Belfast on Saturday 7th January and Sunday 8th January.
The final home league games of the season will be against the Sheffield Steelers on Friday 17th March and the next night, Saturday 28th March, against the Coventry Blaze.
The Giants will end the 2016/17 season with back-to-back games on the road in Wales on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th March against the Cardiff Devils.
