Nottingham Panthers Gear Up for 2025-26 Season with Strong Pre-season Performance

New Season Preparations and Team Updates

The Nottingham Panthers have announced the return of Rick Strachan to their coaching staff, who will serve as advisor to Danny Stewart and Linton Grant for the 2025-26 season.

The team has shown promising form in their pre-season matches, recently securing a commanding 6-0 victory over French side Amiens at the Motorpoint Arena.

Recent Team Developments

The Panthers have strengthened their roster with the signing of 27-year-old Canadian forward Nolan Volcan. Additionally, they’ve secured defenceman Josh Tetlow for a seventh season, a significant retention as Tetlow was named the Panthers’ British Player of the Year last season after making 354 appearances for the club since 2017.

Upcoming Fixtures and Season Tickets

The Panthers are set to play their final pre-season game against Coventry Blaze on September 6th, with the Motorpoint Arena already two-thirds full for this matchup. Following a successful 2024-25 campaign that saw numerous sold-out crowds at the Motorpoint Arena, the team has launched season tickets for 2025-26, offering fans two options – the All-In Season Ticket and the 26-Game Season Ticket, which remain the best-value way to watch the Panthers.

Looking Ahead

The team enters the new season with high expectations, following their success in the previous campaign where they clinched the 2025 playoff title by defeating Cardiff Devils 4-3 in second overtime at the Motorpoint Arena. The team’s commitment to defensive excellence and physical play is expected to continue driving the club forward in the upcoming season.
