I'm planning on attending tonight's impromptu open training session, with the team skating afterwards. Having never attended one of these skates before, does anyone know if penguins/skate aids are available for younger children? My daughter's keen to join in, but would struggle to without.

To be clear, the refs are also watching the stream, right? And that's why they can't see a damn thing?

I think it's important to do both. Our loss is down to the many issues we know this team has. Their victory is, at least in part, down to suspicious circumstances. Would the Belfast Giants of January this year won any of their three trophies?

Thanks for the reply - I do appreciate it. If your goal really is to get to the bottom of this and clear your team's name, might I suggest having a re-read of your posts? They really do come across as trying to sweep things under the rug. Yeah, I'm going to have to stick with Finny on this one...

Actually, genuine question Gisland - do you not want the league to address this? I'm sure you're still on a high from victory, and as you said yourself, records will show it - but fans will also remember it. And if there's one thing we know, these things only get flanderized over time. The...

The fact that no club is publicly complaining is not proof that there are no rules beings broken. If rules were broken, and clubs were unhappy about it, they still have their bottom line to consider. This is a small league, in a constantly precarious position - without the cooperation of every...

I think the rules are clear to the contrary. If a player initiates contact with the nettie, so long as the nettie is in the crease, the goal is disallowed. But in this case, Brittain is facing the play, Owen has his body leaned out into him and I can't see many saying that was a deliberate...

In which case we won in regulation - I expect Belfast will be stripped of their OT point any second now ;) And hey, it means the GWG Keefe and Besko didn't like is meaningless. It's a win-win when you think about it!

Of course the crowd were into it; all but 12 of them were on the team as spare imports ;)

Not sure if you're talking about the '18 or '19 final, both on a Sunday at 4pm. A weekend, mind, the latter being on neutral ice because it was against Guildford. For the 2018 final I can't recall how we split the home/away fans, but I was present for the 2017 against Sheffield where it was...

Both Fife and Giants obviously played well and deserve the finals spots on the strength of their performances; but it's undeniable the deck was always stacked in your favour. The reigning league champion, challenge cup champion and current top of the table, plays group stages against the three...

I particularly enjoyed the three year stint in which Richardson wore a Hawaiian shirt and cowboy hat. Adds a bit of colour to the kit.

I wouldn't go so far as to say "dire" but unless you were hibernating for the winter months, I think it's fair to say our season (as a whole) was disappointing. We had moments of excellence that allowed us to compete in those competitions we did well in, and not completely lose track of the...

It's in the Freesports App too, for nothing, as it was repeated there in Tuesday.

I think this has got some legs. If he's a mole that means he's blind, which explains an awful lot about the way he's played this season. Between you and me, I think there might be some in the officiating team too ...
