Head Coach, Aaron Nell has shared his thoughts, stating: “We’ve had a great season this year with the team working for each other on and off the ice. We didn’t finish where we wanted to in the league, but all eyes look towards Play-Offs, and we’re determined to succeed. Play-Off hockey is fast and furious and the players are ready for it, but we need a packed out Link Centre for the next three games. We know our fans will be behind us every step of the way.”


The Wildcats are calling on the #WildcatsFamily to pack the stands and create an electrifying atmosphere at the Link Centre. Fans are encouraged to secure their tickets early, as demand is expected to be high for these crucial playoff matchups.


Tickets will be available from our website. Swindon Wildcats Season Ticket Holders have all three of the Play-Off games included. We need Swindon to be booming for the three home games, to support the Wildcats in their chance of becoming Play-Off Champions 2024/25.
