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...
Sunday’s game was a tough one to take. We came out strong and played some really solid hockey for large parts of the game. The effort was there, the structure was good, and we created plenty of chances — but once again, we switched off at key moments and were punished for it. It’s frustrating...
There’s a lot to like about Saturday. There’s more onus on moving the puck quicker and getting players forwards faster when turning over possession. I loved the energy and work rate all game, and we didn’t really let up over 60 minutes bar a couple of Lee Valley goals at the start of the second...
It never rains but it pours. On the one hand, we outshoot Guildford 49 to 39 throwing 20 shots on net in the third period to their nine. There’s good performances across the bench I thought, particularly from our junior players, and there’s moments in the game when we genuinely feel on top. On the...
Hey Huskies fans, First off — what a noise and what support you gave us on Saturday night! That was the loudest I’ve heard our barn in a long time, and the team truly felt it. Thank you — we need that energy every week. This week, I want to talk about one word: defence....
It’s amazing how quickly things can change in hockey. Defence to offence. Winning to losing. Highs to lows. We’d made a good start to the season, with three from four in September. Some good performances and plenty of goals from this refreshed Haringey side. But we now find ourselves with two losses on the bounce,...
