Saturday saw the Sheffield Spartans face Whitley Warriors at Ice Sheffield in the first game of the season. The first period started poorly, with Whitley gaining an early goal. The Warriors continued to push for a second but Dmitri Zimozdra kept it to a 1-0 period with a number of fine saves. 3 unanswered goals then followed to make it 4-0 before a tip in by Andrew Turner made it 4-1 to give the Spartans a chance. The third period saw a number of penalties, Andrew Turner along with 2 Whitley players were thrown out of the game, followed by another Whitley 5+game penalty shortly after.
