Sunday, September 19th 2010 sees the Winn Solicitors Vipers take on Sheffield Steelers in a game dubbed "Ice Wars".
The Vipers will be lead onto the ice by half a dozen characters from Star Wars - three Stormtroopers, two TIE Fighter pilots and a Clone Commander.
The club are starting the marketing push this week, which will see Street Teams out and about in North Tyneside this weekend as part of V-Force 2.
Now every Vipers fan has the chance to try and turn their family, friends and workmates over to the Dark Side by using this poster to advertise Ice Wars and the first six fixtures of the season.
The poster features 'Jedi' Danny Stewart and Nathan Salem alongside Commander Bacara and can be downloaded from here: www.march74.co.uk/icewarsposter.pdf
You can print it and put it on a noticeboard at school or at work, or email it around your friends.
Turn as many people you know over to the Dark Side and let's see a bumper crowd to open the new season.
