8.009 of us has a great time and so many winners.
What a night we had at the Utilita Arena last night, with over 8,000 in attendance
It wasn’t just the Steelers that were the winners, thought the 5-2 victory did send us all home smiling.
The night started and ended with our match sponsors UNISON.
Gareth and Lilly Kennedy Sharpe dropped the puck at the start of the game with the two Captains
UNISON Secretary John Campbell and Elaine Senior were with us at the end of the game for the Heineken Man of the Match Awards
Devils goal scorer Jake Coughler and Derek Gentile, who scored twice, took the awards.
Before the game, our Mascot for the night, Harper-Rose Hindson watched warm up from the Steelers bench.
Captain Robert Dowd stopped by for a photo, but not before Harper-Rose had the guided tour of the dressing room and this photo in Dowdy’s stall.
Also, after the game there was a chance for another meeting with the Captain wearing her personalised shirt and goodie bag.
