Incredible Night at the Arena for the Start of the New EIHL Season
What an incredible night at the Utilita Arena as the Sheffield Steeldogs and Steelers were introduced to almost 4,000 fans on Friday evening.
Back down on the stage the Steeldogs were ready to be introduced to the waiting fans.
The whole team turned up on stage and interviews were held with Ben Morgan, Tate Shudra, Walker Sommer and Jonathan Phillips
Time for some music, returning for a third year was The Roseadocs, and they played a great set of songs from their impressive catalogue.
The building by this time had filled up and looked amazing
Anticipation was mounting for the Steelers stars to walk on stage
First on stage was the leagues number one goalie, Matt Greenfield
Fans stood as Greener made his way to the stage to be welcomed by the lasses of fans
One by one the players came on stage
Their words listened to by the fans as they told stories of their summers, the CHL games already played and for their hopes for the new season.
Our online SOYB Raffle Winner was June Gude, Mark Simpson was hand to present the shirt.
June also had her photo taken with the team on stage.
Before heading to the stands to sign autographs, there was time for a group Steelers photo.
All the players headed back out onto the stage
Then it was time for photos and autographs as the majority of players headed to concourse level whilst some remained down in the stands.
We hope you had a great night at the Arena – see you tomorrow Sheffield
