Cardiff Devils' 2025-26 schedule confirmed
Cardiff Devils will start and end their 2025-26 season with trips to Nottingham Panthers. The Welsh side begin the campaign with eight successive Challenge Cup fixtures, the first of which sees them travel to the Panthers - who they lost to in double overtime in last season's Playoff Final. Advertisement Devils host new head coach Paul Thompson's former side Coventry Blaze at the Vindico Arena in their first Elite League game of the season on Saturday, 11 October - with Panthers being their first away league opponents the following day. Cardiff travel to Guildford Flames on 30 December for their final match of the calendar year before hosting the west Surrey club in their first fixture of 2026 on New Year's Day. Blaze will be the final visitors of the regular season to the Welsh capital on 4 April, 2026 before Devils conclude their Elite League schedule at Panthers a day later. Having finished the 2024-25 regular season in fourth place, Devils went on to end as runners-up to Panthers after an almighty Playoff tussle. Advertisement The Welsh capital side also suffered final heartache in the Challenge Cup, losing 4-0 to Elite League regular season winners Belfast Giants in the final. Thompson was announced as Pete Russell's successor as head coach in May, having previously had spells in charge of Elite League rivals Blaze and Sheffield Steelers. He had four seasons as head coach of Danish club Odense Bulldogs - who he led to their first ever Metal Ligaen Championship earlier this year.

Great Britain forward ‘proud' to re-join Belfast Giants after signing on for sixth season
The 35-year-old dual-national, who was born in Calgary but represents Great Britain on residency, has been one of the key components of the Giants' dominance under head coach Adam Keefe, winning seven trophies at the SSE Arena. Since joining from the Coventry Blaze in 2019, Lake has been a consistent contributor to the Giants' cause, scoring 90 goals and 232 points in 326 games in teal and assuming the role of alternate captain in his last four seasons. And it was a no-brainer for the Giants to bring him back coming off a season where he scored 13 goals and 32 points in 70 games as they secured an Elite League and Challenge Cup double. As well as that, the former All-Star First Team nominee has made 74 appearances for Great Britain, scoring eight goals and 35 points as well as winning two gold medals in Division 1A of the World Championships and playing in the top tier twice. 'I'm excited to be back with the Giants for another season,' commented Lake. 'It's a great organisation to play for – professionally run, competitive every year, and supported by a passion fanbase. I take a lot of pride in pulling on this jersey and doing whatever I can to help the team be successful and win.' A graduate of Sacred Heart University, where he wore an 'A' in his final season, Lake played two seasons in the ECHL with the Alaska Aces before joining the Blaze in 2017 where he excelled, being named a First Team All-Star in his second season after scoring 38 goals and 82 points in 68 games. That earned him a move to Belfast and since then he has become a mainstay on the roster at the SSE Arena, forming an impressive partnership with winger Mark Cooper that led to the Giants securing the League and Cup double in the 2021/22 season, including scoring the overtime winner in the Cup Final against the Cardiff Devils. He would better that a year later by helping the Giants to the Grand Slam, adding the Play-Off title to their League and Cup defences, and last year he was once again front and centre in picking up another League and Cup double.

Devils beat Blaze to reach play-offs
Cole Sanford struck in overtime as Cardiff Devils edged Coventry Blaze in a tense Elite League encounter to secure their place in the playoff quarter-finals. Ryan Barrow opened the scoring for the visitors, but Blaze were soon level as Chase Gresock found the target. Devils seized the initiative as Kohen Olischefski struck as the end of the first period loomed and Sean Duggan added their third. But the hosts fought back with Alessio Luciani cutting the deficit before Kim Tallberg equalised. However, Devils had the final word as Sanford earned victory as they stayed fourth in the table. They are next in action on Sunday, 9 March in the Welsh capital against third-placed Nottingham Panthers.
