The only team I remember really well was Fife Flyers. I think there was Nottingham Panthers, and I seem to recall Belfast had a team. Can't really remember any of the others. Was Whitley Bay one?

Yeah, wee Luc was a buzzbomb and a very good player. Paul was a total bruiser and very effective with it :greengrin
Jock Hay was a player my son and I dubbed "The Leaner" because his habit was to lean hard on the opposition player that had the puck. Different approach to Paul but very effective :greengrin
PS Apologies to anyone wondering why we're talking about Ice Hockey on a football forum. At least two of the players mentioned favoured Hibs :wink:
Hilton Ruggles-related fun fact of the day. When he was playing for Manchester Storm, I saw him feature as a 'warrior' in the short-lived ITV Saturday game show 'Ice Warriors' (think Gladiators on ice) when watching one of the shows being filmed at Manchester Arena.
I must be getting old.They were Murrayfield Royals when I went.
Dye in the wool Flyers fan. Watch the Storm now I'm in Manchester. I'll watch the Scottish teams when they come down but this is good deal. Go along and try it.

My second cousins are both goaltenders, one for the Flyers and the other for Swindon.
They're also both Jambos, so I suspect having 6 fingers on each hand must help stopping the puck go in.
It's a brilliant sport to watch live. Fast, big impact, you can get a beer between periods.
Not a big fan of the game but I went to watch Sovsn Bratislava play St Petersburg about a year ago.
There was a full house of some 11,000 which was about 10 times the crowd the football team got 2 days before. Every seat had a Slovan scarf on it and everyone stayed to the end even though St Petersburg won 6.0. All in all an enjoyable evening with cheap food and beer
I would have taken my son along but we are on holiday. Shame.
Really good offer big saving as someone else said further up. If anyone looking for something a bit different definitely worth it. I have a caps season ticket on a Sunday and one at ER the saturday. We got into it more as a family as my wee boy started playing for the murrrayfield juniors under 10 team and last season and loves it. Boo fife flyers 😉
