Cardiff Devils Secure Three Pre-Season Wins Ahead of 40th Season

The Cardiff Devils continued their pre-season preparations with a 4-2 win against French team Angers Duc, marking their third victory in as many games. This success comes as the team gears up for their 40th season.

In addition to the win over Angers Duc, the Devils also secured back-to-back victories against Denmark's Odense Bulldogs, winning 8-5 and 4-1 in their opening matches. The squad, which includes four new signings and 18 returning players from last season's Play-Offs winning team, will face Sheffield Steelers in Cardiff on August 29, followed by a trip to Yorkshire the next day.

Forward Sam Duggan is expected to miss the first part of the season due to knee ligament damage. The Devils will also participate in six Challenge Cup fixtures before the EIHL season begins, with their first league match scheduled against Manchester Storm on October 3.
