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,...
It’s a far closer game than I expected. Fourth against eleventh. It’s a testament to that adage though: there are no easy games in South 2. We let them back in several times with a lapse in concentration. Chelmsford goals two, three, and four are probably all avoidable. Their third especially, coming straight after our...
I’m sorry, but we’re going to have to talk about Guildford first. What. A. Result. Ben and James’ report was magnificent for anyone unfortunate enough not to be there, me included, and it’s obvious I’m going to have to redouble my efforts if I want to stay in a job. I honestly did not expect...
We knew going into Saturday’s game that it was going to be a tough night. We were short benched, carrying a huge injury list and with a few players away, but from the first face-off to the OT winner, every single player gave everything they had. The message before the game was clear — stick...
With the Huskies very short-benched, this was a game in which those who made it to Guildford were just hoping wouldn’t be a cricket score. The first period felt fairly even with a couple of penalties for both teams including one of the best penalty kills we’ve seen all season. Even when Guildford attempted a...
Ah that’s a tough one. A real ‘if only’ game. It’s a shame, as it all started so well. Bumping into fans on the train up, seeing some familiar faces around the rink, which is one of the nicer Planet Ice rinks I’ve been to by the way. It’s a very convenient away game from...
