By Tom Pink Got, got, got, need, got, need, need, got, got… There’s a generation of people (generations now, probably) for which the words Panini, Merlin, or Topps evoke memories of the bike sheds, of the playground, of the deals done and bartered for. My first dalliance was with the 1995 rugby world cup sticker...
By Tom Pink We’ve got to savour these. There’s now only so many opportunities left this season that we get to watch these Haringey Huskies. The games are simply running out. I thought Saturday was good though. The result is closer than it should be. Far closer. Haringey should be well out of sight, and...
By Tom Pink This fixture rarely fails to deliver. Saturday was a stone-cold classic of the genre, and if you ever wanted an advert for South 2 hockey, you could do worse than picking any match-up between the Huskies and Mustangs over the last few years. It was brilliant, and in terms of pure spectacle...
By Tom Pink Whatever your opinion, you can’t say that they aren’t willing to act. You can’t say that they aren’t actively trying to find solutions. With Joe Tearall and Scott Anda leaving, the club have gone out and replaced them with two forwards in Courtney Grant and Matt Ganas who have proven NIHL South...
Hello Huskies Fans, I wanted to take a moment to share an important update regarding the club. As team owner, I’ve made the difficult decision to replace Pete as head coach. This wasn’t a decision I took lightly, but one I felt was necessary for the team to progress and mount a serious challenge in...
By Tom Pink AAGGGHHHHH!!!! A small insight into my internal monologue from Saturday night there. That covers all bases as well; the good times and the bad, the giddy highs, the soul-crushing lows. I had to give my head a wobble on Sunday morning because I left the Palace on Saturday seeing red. If I’m...
By Tom Pink I can’t stress enough just how good that was. If you wanted a performance for the last home game of the year, then you were in all sorts of luck on Saturday. My word. I couldn’t agree more with Pete Taylor’s analysis in his Coach’s Corner this week and I’ll reiterate some...
By Tom Pink It’s the same problems for Haringey, the same old story; turn up at the Spectrum, play well, lose. You could go back over most of the old reports against Guildford and they probably wouldn’t be very different from this. They’re a very good team and they’ve won most of what there is...
By Tom Pink I love fast starts. It always helps if you can score within the first minute. The first 21 seconds is ideal. As we found against Peterborough, it’s a suckerpunch. It drains the energy out of the opposition, having to start the game for all intents and purposes 1-0 down. Matt France comes...
By Tom Pink What a weekend. Different competitions, different games, different results. It’s played two, lost two for Haringey in the EJMC (Eddie Joseph Memorial Cup). I’m a bit torn on this one, because although there were several things I didn’t like about Saturday, I still thought we mostly played well and there’s some really...
