The Bracknell Bees will warm-up for the new season with four challenge matches against local rivals. On Wednesday 8th September, Gareth Cox's new Bees make a short trip to Hampshire to take on Steve Moria's Basingstoke Bison, (face off time to be confirmed). Plenty of familiar faces will be lining up against the Bees again in Bison jerseys next season and it will be an early opportunity to see our new Czech defenceman, Vald Pelikovsky, in action.

 

On Saturday 11th, the Bees make an even shorter trip, down the M4 to face 2009/10 EPIHL Play-Off champions, the Slough Jets. Face off is at 6.30pm, with Peter Jasik and Sam Waller keen to impress against their former team-mates.

The following night, Sunday 12th September, the Bees will be at home to the Jets, face off at 6.00pm at the Hive.

Our final Challenge match is then at 8.00pm on Thursday 16th September at home against the Basingstoke Bison.

Tickets for both home games will be available soon.

The League and Cup campaign then begins in earnest on the weekend of 18th and 19th September. Full fixtures to hopefully be released soon.
