Saturday’s destination was the newly refurbished Planet Ice, Milton Keynes where the Lightning would take on the Phantoms. The journey passed smoothly, memory from my time working there got Ben and I navigated to the arena easily and by fortune a car left a space not more than a 100 […]

My third and final cover game at Basingstoke saw the Bison take on the Swindon Wildcats. Having seen the Bison win the first two games of my stint I wanted a 3 for 3 record. The win was also important as the Bison are the only team keeping pace with […]
Sunday night’s road trip had only one possible destination as the Guildford Flames were the only local team at home. Their opponents were Slava Koulikov’s Peterborough Phantoms who were on Spectrum ice for the second time in the season. After journeying through Windsor, Staines and Chertsey to join up with […]

For the second week in a row the road trip destination was Basingstoke where two contenders would do battle. The Bison didn’t play last Sunday meaning their last outing was the penalty shot win over the Tigers, Ciaran Long being the winner on that occasion as the only shooter to […]
