Founded in 2003, the Manchester Phoenix are the North West's only full-tier ice hockey club.
With teams ranging from the Junior Under 10 level right up to the fully professional Elite Ice Hockey League squad, and all playing out of the 2,200 seater Altrincham Ice Dome. The Manchester Phoenix Ice Hockey Club is a true family orientated sport.
Competing in the bmibaby Elite League, the professional team will play over 30 home games in 2008-09 and compete on all fronts for the silverware against clubs from Basingstoke, Belfast, Cardiff, Coventry, Edinburgh, Hull, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield.
Elite League home games are predominantly on Sunday evening, commencing at 5.30pm and finishing before 8.00pm, and with crowds averaging 1,500 and growing. The Phoenix is a sporting spectacle on the rise. A night at the Ice Hockey is an entertainment-packed affair with lots of interactive off-ice fun for all the family. Added to the speed, skills, thrills and spills of the fastest team sport in the world, and an atmosphere second to none.
Our club encompasses an approved Schools Roadshow that each and every week of the season takes Ice Hockey out into the community, encouraging participation in sport and a healthy living programme. Last season, the Phoenix Roadshow took the message into over 50 schools across Manchester and even further out.
