There are countless tales across sport of teams that have had to wait for their moment. The Chicago Cubs waiting 108 years between World Series championships. The St. Louis Blues going 52 years without a Stanley Cup (this doesn’t help my point, but it still brings me joy to also list the Toronto Maple Leafs...
I’ve never seen a longer or more persistent queue for the shirt off the back. That’s star power for you. It was near enough up to the double-doors when I walked in. It’s funny, sitting in the stands you always get the same reaction of momentary shock from newcomers and day trippers when they see...
That had a bit of everything didn’t it. Yet another of those Huskies/Mustangs games that you just cannot predict. We’ve seen so many over the years and all you know is that anything can and will happen. Trying to second-guess it is a fool’s game. It’s been an up and down year for many...
Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre, anyone? I’ve got nothing witty here obviously, certainly nothing as good as the Huskies’ Valentine’s Day cards which were hilarious. I think they missed a trick with this one though: Will you be my McFarlane-tine?? Or maybe not. Unfortunately, Saturday was devoid of romance, devoid of anything that sets the heart...
Haringey Huskies 9, Lee Valley Lions 1 Saturday 7th February By Tom Pink That’s it! Haringey storm to the final of the Eddie Joseph Memorial Cup. We needed the win over Lee Valley Lions on Saturday to confirm it, but it’s played five won five in this competition for us and it would have taken...
In terms of entertainment, that is right up there. We’ve been spoilt for close, competitive games this season, but I’ve not seen many closer than that. After the Peterborough semi-final a fortnight ago, I didn’t think it could get much more dramatic, but here we are. I was with a couple of Calgary Flames fans...
That’s hockey, baby. You can watch your team for 120 minutes across two legs, you can appreciate just how incredibly good they are, you can stand in awe as they score goal after goal after goal, and yet they can still lose. I couldn’t make the first leg on Saturday. We’d left ourselves in a...
It’s a heartbreaking start to 2026. I’m not on social media and only found out about Darren Cole’s passing when it was announced at the game on Saturday. I shared lifts with Darren and his nephew Ellis to many away games, picking the bones out of the performances in the taxi back or the train...
Your Haringey Huskies are thrilled to add netminder Petr Čech to the roster. Upon retiring from professional football, Petr started his UK ice hockey career with Guildford Phoenix in 2019. He has since played for both Oxford City Stars and Chelmsford Chieftains, where he was a team-mate of Huskies player/coach James Pentecost. Huskies general manager...
It’s the most complete hockey I’ve seen us play this year. Certainly, for those first 35 minutes. We’re simply irresistible at times. Talk about things clicking. For that half hour everything went exactly how Haringey must have dreamed it would. If it was harder going than expected the weekend before against Chelmsford, it was far,...
