February Hoops Fest

It will be almost two months between games at the Fire Pit (John Cain Arena) by the time the Phoenix roll into their home court on February 5  to take on the Adelaide 36ers in what will be our first ever Chinese New Year game.

The Chinese New Year game will kick off our February Hoop Fest which sees us play three games at home in the first two weeks of February.

It will be a chance for the Phoenix faithful to get behind the team after a tough two months of road games and postponements.

ROUND 10 v ADELAIDE 36ERS, FEB 5, 8PM AEDT, JCA
First up will be our Chinese New Year game, this is our chance as a club to make Zhou Qi and all the new Phoenix fans feel at home as we celebrate Chinese culture during one of their most important holidays.

Keep an eye out for our Chinese themed entertainment, and for our members Zhou Qi's player card will be on offer with 100 lucky people to receive a signed version.

The entire Fire Pitt will take on a Chinese New Year flavour, this is one game you don’t want to miss.

"Zhou Qi has quickly become a valued member of the Phoenix family, as has the legion of fans he has converted to Phoenix fans. This is our way as a club to make him and them feel welcome," CEO Tommy Greer said. "Our Chinese New Year game will become a permanent part of our season and it's a game we hope grows each year."

This game will also be Melbourne hoop fans first chance to see Filipino superstar Kai Sotto live and in the flesh.

(Phoenix will celebrate Chinese New Year for the first time as a chance to celebrate Chinese culture and make Zhou Qi and new Phoenix fans feel at home.)
