Looking to start taking the kids back as they enjoyed it precovid. Has anyone been back since they switched from the racers and has much been done in way of development to the ice rink?

Has anyone been back since they switched from the racers and has much been done in way of development to the ice rink?Someone else might correct me as I'm a bit out the loop living south of the wall these days...and I'm a Flyers fan being from the Kingdom.

I think they folded about 4 years ago and restarted mid 2022 as the Capitals. They're in SNL which is basically 2nd division as the Elite league is top league in UK. I'm not sure what the standard will be like now.

Fife, Dundee and braehead who are Glasgow now all play in the Elite league.

Murrayfield was under new ownership I think which is linked to the resurgence of the Caps.

Can't really help with much else.

Have been to their two matches away at Kirkcaldy and Dundee. Kirkcaldy result was a disappointing 4 1 loss, Kirkcaldy had played an unbeaten 4 matches, with it being the Caps first. The match in Dundee last weekend was incredible, Caps going 5 1 up, then tiring to hold on 5 4.

The latest on the rink is: https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/iconic-edinburgh-murrayfield-ice-rink-25107815

I thought they reverted to being called the Racers a few years back? Or are they different clubs?

Tony hand had a consortium that got the ice time for murrayfield. Racers came back until COVID struck. From what I've read they were meant to get ice time in Dundee when restrictions were easing but there was meant to be some beef about players that had gone to the racers from one of the Dundee teams so the offer was pulled and the racers went defunct

My son took my grandson last weekend for the first time and they both loved it. I think they have a couple of new supporters who will go along when they can.
