  • Homecoming
    We're set for an historic weekend as Manchester Storm finally return home to the AO Arena after 24 years.
    It's been the day Storm fans have waited for with great anticipation as Cameron Critchlow and his team get ready to hit the ice in their new/old home for the first time this Sunday when they take on Sheffield Steelers.
    To mark the occasion, we speak to the man for whom this weekend means so much as a player for the Storm back in the 90's and more recently, has been a trusty right hand man to Cameron - Mike Morin, who recalls those days and discusses what this weekend means to him.
    As executive director of Storm in the Community, Mike also tells us more about the great work he's doing in his new role too.
    We also hear from head coach Cameron Critchlow ahead of the weekend, taking us into the locker room ahead of the double header with the Steelers, which starts in Sheffield at the Utilita Arena on Saturday.
