The Swindon Wildcats are delighted to confirm that this year’s 2019/20 Pre-Season Launch Day will be held on Sunday 1st September; less than one week before our opening Challenge game against the Bees.

 

This is one of the key events on the hockey calendar, it gives you chance to see the boys on the ice for the very first time in the open training session. You will also be able to see the popular new black and red jerseys on show for the first time.

 

The invitation only press and sponsor conference will begin at 12:00 in Studio 1 at the Better Link Centre. This will give our VIP guests the opportunity to ask questions to our top table, mingle with the team and get the first photos before the team have broken a sweat on the ice!

 

From 12:45 the balcony will be open to the public, and the Wildcat Sports shop will also be open to collect your season tickets and pre-ordered jerseys.

 

At 1:15 the players will hit the ice one by one for their official introductions, individual photographs and the first Full Team shot will be taken. This will be the first time you get to see Tyler VanKleef and the return of Tomasz Malasinski for the new season.

 

After an on-ice training session ran by Head Coach Aaron Nell the team will leave the ice, get changed and showered and head over to The Harvey where the Swindon Wildcats Supporters Club will be running a BBQ open to ALL fans and sponsors. The Full Team will be attending the BBQ so there will be the opportunity to grab a photo or an autograph with your favourite players.

 

We are really excited to get the season underway and with the launch day planned and ready to go we can’t wait to see you all there to mark the start of another successful hockey season!
