Elite League to mark season-opening weekend with two-minute silence

Opening weekend to go ahead as planned

Everyone connected with the Elite League was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday.

Following a meeting of the Elite League Board on Friday morning, and following current guidance, the league's ten member teams have agreed to proceed with the season-opening games as planned, beginning tonight in Glasgow.

As a mark of respect, all games this weekend will be preceded by a two-minute silence followed by the playing of the national anthem.

Belfast Giants’ Champions Hockey League fixtures will also take place as planned.
