The money was donated to the Glasgow Clan Ice Futures Charity that aims to give all age groups the chance to take part in skating, ice hockey and other ice-based activities at a grassroots level.
The professional ice hockey outfit held a bucket collection, accepted donations via a QR code and a post-game auction was staged where Clan supporters bid for game-worn jerseys created specially for the recent match against Nottingham Panthers, at Braehead Arena.
There was also a Shirt Off the Back draw giving fans the chance to take home their favourite players' special edition warm-up jerseys.
Glasgow Clan managing director, Gareth Chalmers praised the generosity of the ice hockey fans: “The Purple Army has once again risen to the occasion and the amount of money raised is fantastic. They played a pivotal role in achieving this incredible total.
“The fundraising effort will go a long way to making a difference to people’s lives and help shape the future of ice hockey in our community. It’s a huge thank you to everyone who donated.”
