Sheffield Steelers, going since 1991

Must have been Sheffield. I was thinking Sheffield or Leeds. Anyhoo, he ended up coming back after a while and had got in trouble over there for getting all pissed up and nicking a bus.

The kids around here are obsessed with it, there are lots of ‘pick up’ leagues for all different ages. One of my employees is in one league and sometimes has games as late as midnight, just to get on the ice

This is the town park, volunteers flood a rink in the winter and look after it, loads of kids out there in very cold temps

Leafs 10 Red Wings 7!!!

Thought I'd somehow read that score incorrectly.

I was there the night they played the Steelers in front of a record crowd and the place was bouncing.

Great days and a great family sport for anyone wanting something different to do with the kids and I promise you will love it.

I was there too, European attendance record I believe

I only ever watch the fights on YouTube. Always makes me smile when I see the refs letting them beat the shit out of each other until one of them slips on the ice.

Went on a works do at Altrincham a few years back, was a good laugh if all a bit odd. Some of the fans were a bit odd as well

Is it a bit WWE?

No, some of the north american leagues tolerate real fighting, it is like no other non-combat sport in that respect.

2 or 5 mins in the sinbin opposed to a lifetime ban.
