steveoath Posted May 13, 2019 Report Posted May 13, 2019 Do we have many UK hockey followers here? We (Clan) just out our head coach Pete Russell (teamGB coach). This sucks. 2 Quote
Tom Backyard Posted May 14, 2019 Report Posted May 14, 2019 I follow it from a distance, checking in on the Nottingham Panthers from time to time. I studied abroad at the University of Nottingham back in the day and the city still holds a place in my heart. Still a big Forest fan, and although I have never caught a Panthers game live, I have visited the National Ice Center. Nice place! Quote
Stoner Posted May 14, 2019 Report Posted May 14, 2019 I'm having trouble picking out a favorite team based on logos/names. If the Basingstoke Bison were still around, they'd be it. 1 Quote

steveoath Posted August 31, 2019 Author Report Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Yay, hockey is back. The Clan won the preseason tourney against snake Russell's new team ?. Tonight we'll be opening the challenge cup against the Dundee stars. The players seem to enjoy playing under new HC "fitzy". Can't wait to get to the arena tonight. It'll be my mates first hockey game too! https://youtu.be/Qe_nnQ48l3Y Edited August 31, 2019 by steveoath 1 Quote
steveoath Posted August 31, 2019 Author Report Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) It's not going well so far. 0-3 at the end of the first ? Edited August 31, 2019 by steveoath Quote
steveoath Posted August 31, 2019 Author Report Posted August 31, 2019 Better second period. But conceded again. 2-4 going into the third. Quote
steveoath Posted August 31, 2019 Author Report Posted August 31, 2019 3-6 loss. Defending was pretty poor from the clan. Dundee were quicker, their backchecking was very good. We were very static overall. Not a great show. At least it's not league play, just the cup. Get the missing D back from injury in the next few games., Quote
steveoath Posted December 31, 2019 Author Report Posted December 31, 2019 Thread bump. Clan V Flyers today for the new years eve bash! @steveoath v @Sabre1974 ?First of 2 back to back games for one of the best rivalries in the league (even if supporters are getting tired of poor performances on the ice). Clan are playing like the Sabres. Rubbish PP, leaking goals (5 per game recently). However my lucky charm (jnrOath) is with me for today's game and she's never seen the Clan lose! I'm going for a come from behind win 5-4 clan. 1 Quote
steveoath Posted December 31, 2019 Author Report Posted December 31, 2019 Wow, didn't expect that at all. 5-1 to the Clan ? And for the old school fans a proper fight after a dodgy hit. Happy new year!! Quote

Was going to go to this one but when our face off changed to 1pm it was a no contest. Sabres take priority and always will (unless my other team - Indianapolis colts) had made NFL playoffs? 1 Quote
Neo Posted January 2, 2020 Report Posted January 2, 2020 I know nothing about this league! Sounds like fun with real fans. Ill look on YouTube. Quote

Standard is ok probably on a par with the German del 2 league. Crowds are ok. Flyers usually average 1500. Clan more in 2500-3000 range although sabreoath will know better than me. Quote
