The Giants, for the first time since 2004, will get their 2009/10 season underway on the road as the Elite League have announced the opening weeks schedules. The game will come against Nottingham on Saturday 5 September before heading to Hill the next night for a game against old boy Curtis Huppe. The home-opener will come on Saturday 12 September against an opponent to be announced when the full fixture list is released in the next few days. For what it’s worth that last opening season game on the road for the Giants in 2004 was against Sheffield and they lost it 3-0. Hoping for better this time.
