The new season begins every September with Comtec's Creative Media department starting work on the designs as early as April. Each season, new designs for shirts, merchandise, fixtures lists and posters are created - as well as arranging for the printing and fixing of sponsors dasher boards and rink block signage.

As part of the package, Comtec Presentations are the Live Event provider for the club - including all sound and lighting at each of the team’s home games, attended by over 1500 loyal fans every week.

Comtec’s engineers have rigged the venue, the Altrincham Ice Dome, with state of the art equipment including 22 Plasma screens. A spokesperson for the club stated that "without the help and support from the Comtec team the club wouldn’t be able to put on such an exciting show. As soon as the house lights go down and the sirens start whirring the audience know they are going to experience something special."

Following on from the success of last season, as part of the Comtec Presentations corporate social responsibility obligations, Comtec are helping to fund school road shows featuring the teams star players. Educating pupils on important topics such as healthy eating, exercise and anti-drugs and weapons. The school road shows proved to be a big success last year with over 20 schools taking part and reaching hundreds of children with these important messages.

League home games are predominantly on Sunday evenings, commencing at 5.30pm and finishing before 8.00pm. With crowds averaging 1,500 and growing, the Phoenix is a sporting spectacle on the rise. A night at the Ice Hockey is an entertainment-packed affair with lots of interactive off-ice fun for all the family. Added to the speed, skills, thrills and spills of the fastest team sport in the world there is an atmosphere second to none.

Our club encompasses an approved Schools Roadshow that each and every week of the season takes Ice Hockey out into the community, encouraging participation in sport and a healthy living programme. Last season, the Phoenix Roadshow took the message into over 50 schools across Manchester and even further out.

With Britain's most celebrated Ice Hockey star - Tony Hand MBE, back for his five season as Head Coach, the 2010-11 season promises to be our biggest and best yet.
