Ilves celebrates 95th anniversary with five November home games at Nokia Arena

Ilves will play five home games at Nokia Arena in November, capped by a 95th‑anniversary match against Helsingin IFK late in the month. Superheroes will take over Nokia Arena, with themed family nights, student events and big league rivalries on the schedule.

The month opens with a student party when the team faces Lahti Pelicans. Children’s superhero night will feature a Spiderman visit, a Super‑Sami activity session, the Ipa mascot, an Ipa drawing station and free face painting.

Fans can try a speed game and the CCM Hockey King skills challenge in the arena foyer, enjoy Maltti Taproom Happy Hour and enter on‑site competitions.

The plans follow earlier announcements of themed Nokia Arena nights when Ilves opened season ticket sales and the team's €10 Tuesday ticket promotions the 'Kymppitiistai' offer.

Tampere’s derby against Tappara promises an electric Friday evening, and fans are urged to arrive early.

On Tuesdays, all tickets in price category 10 cost €10 and most arena food items are 10% off, excluding Friends & Brgrs and Maltti Taproom. The game is billed as a “Do Good” match aimed at creating experiences for people in weaker positions.

Family tickets start at €11 in selected sections and youth tickets for 7–16 year olds are €6.

The month’s finale celebrates Ilves’ 95th with free Muistox photo moments and an NHL PlayStation challenge featuring Rasmus “Rapsu” Forsberg. Tickets are on sale now.
