Steelkings to face Mayhem in Widnes

The Sheffield Steelkings-A, the Kings, faceoff against the Manchester Mayhem in their first game of the season on Sunday

The Kings are the reigning British Para Ice Hockey League and Playoff champions, so will be looking to get the season off to a good start as they begin to defend their titles.

The Manchester Mayhem have already played two games in 2026, both against the Cardiff Huskies, and had mixed results, winning their opening match at home but losing in the away leg. This win at home will surely give the Manchester side a boost of confidence, but the Kings haven't lost to the Mayhem for several years and will be looking to extend their winning streak.

Last week the Steelkings B-team, the Stings, took on the Peterborough Phantoms and came away with the win, landing themselves at the top of the British Para Ice Hockey League table for the first time in their history. The Kings will be eager to join their development squad at the top of the table.
