More hockey

I know, yet more ice hockey, but the rink is my happy place. And Ice hockey is great therapy. Scream and shout as loud as you want. It's always quite tense but always feel chilled (literally) and relaxed after it.

Today we played London raiders (Romford raiders). Of all the teams in the league. This is the one I want to beat the most.

Their fans are loud, which of course isn't a problem in hockey, but quite aggressive and unsportsman like with it. And their players are rough, (always a few fights)

This is our player/coach Jeremy Cornish, who was subject of one of tonight's fights. He did well, but due to hurting is hand couldnt play the remaindimg 5 minutes.

Players were taken down due to boarding tripping and elbowing and at one point play was stopped while rink staff came on the ice to clear up the blood from one of Romford players smacking into the boards and smashing his nose. (he ended with an early shower)

Exciting, entertaining game and the cherry on the cake was beating their padded backsides 6-3.
