Phantoms. Hull’s emphasis remains firmly on Sheffield demonstrated the magnitude of the attack and judging by its performance against task facing the former EIHL side in their the Phantoms, the Davies-Hewitt- efforts to make an impression in UK ice Chamberlain axis is already firing. Add to this, hockey’s new second tier. While the two two potent imports in Peter Fabus and Olegs defeats may not be a reliable marker, given Sislannikovs and only the strongest defences the breadth of talent among MK’s ranks, in the National League will be able to resist there is a sense that MK will take time to find their onslaught. Where Hull may struggle is stability after last season’s office upheaval. when and if they encounter such a defensive unit. Where MK may struggle is in defending their net. Brandon Stones, who has endured some Kevin Phillips is tasked with coaching a unit tortuous performances against Hull, has a that defends high but as a consequence, shortage of game time as first choice exposes netminder Ash Smith to an netminder and in these circumstances, MK abundance of shots (42 in the home fixture would be expected to circle him with a steely against Peterborough).

Hull can only do what they did against can strike a rich stream of scoring, MK can the Phantoms and showcase what is the most surround them with capable supporting impressive and exciting forward line outside players but that is a large ‘if’.

No such adages. There is no such thing as a friendly thing as a friendly? Within minutes of the is a case in example.

After only fifty three seconds of the restart, Hull’s Player Coach, Hewitt, took the puck along the full length of the ice to score a stunning solo goal. What of that other adage: you can’t take anything from friendlies. This may be true because it is impossible to predict who will win the National League by simply extrapolating these results.

    SR/0000120232 NATIONAL ANTI-DOPING PANEL APPEAL TRIBUNAL Before: Charles Flint QC BETWEEN: Nicky Watt Appellant - and - UK Anti-Doping Limited (UKAD) Respondent FINAL DECISION OF THE APPEAL TRIBUNAL 1. This is an appeal against the decision of the NADP tribunal made on 6 November 2014 which determined that Mr. Watt had committed two anti-doping rule violations and should be ineligible for participation in competition, and other activity, in sport for a period of 8 years. 2. Article 5.3 of the NADP rules provides that the President shall appoint an appeal tribunal made up of three arbitrators to hear and determine any appeal under Article 5.3. In this case the parties have agreed that the appeal should be decided on the papers alone, without a hearing, and that I should be the sole arbitrator. 3. Mr. Watt has been a semi-professional ice hockey player who played for 10 years in the English Premier Ice Hockey League, a competition organised by the English Ice Hockey Association. The association is an affiliate of Ice Hockey UK which has adopted the UK anti-doping rules (“the Rules”). 4. Mr. Watt was found by the tribunal to have contravened the Rules in: (i) refusing to provide a urine sample in an out of competition test on 27 May 2014, contrary to article 2.3, and (ii) the presence of a Prohibited Substance, the anabolic steroid stanozolol, in a sample provided on 17 June 2014, contrary to article 2.1. 5. There was no dispute before the tribunal that those two rule violations had occurred.

    Lee Valley Lions Lee Valley Ice Centre Lee Bridge Road London A view from the centre line, Well it’s been a bit of a break, I missed the October home match (wife’s birthday) but managed to get over to Guildford recently to see an under 18’s match. Great spirit and the 13:0 loss didn’t do justice to the team. It’s worth looking at the youngsters because they will probably become Senior Lions one day. See the match report, page 7, mentioning Alan Go. Money is tight in this sport so you can see easily that we are a ‘no frills’ team. Counting the crowd at matches reveals around 50 or so. This year the rink is being very strict in asking all spectators to leave the rink just before matches so that they can ask each one to pay an entry fee. Don’t forget the Lions get a percentage of the gate receipts so it’s not all going to the Rink coffers. This is a bumper issue tonight because I have several match reports from Julieanne covering October games. The good news is that the club have ordered programme covers, so soon we will be back to professional programme covers. A warm welcome to the team and supporters of Oxford City Stars for tonight’s match. Regards Mike Please note that Mike’s comments must not be taken as representative of any policy or view of Lee Valley Regional Park or Lee Valley Lions Ice Hockey Club. 1 Lee Valley Lions 5 Swindon ENIHL Wildcats 2 8 October 2011 Lee Valley Lions had been left reeling when their promising start to the season was interrupted by a 3-11 defeat away to league-leaders Peterborough Islanders, but they bounced back last Saturday with a victory against Swindon ENIHL Wildcats.

I have been involved with Rec. hockey for over 25 years; when we started with 4 teams, now we have 84 teams and that does not include the university teams! The good thing is, as far as I am concerned, is that we have liaised with Scotland. This has made it so much easier for teams to play in competitions across the Border; which has a lot to do with Tony Wood’s efforts in traveling to Scotland to discuss rules etc. This has made it easier for me; as in the past, I had to get clearance from the EIHA and Ice Hockey UK for you to play Scottish teams.

Guildford has been rated the most affluent town in the country and second only to Cambridge as the town best placed to support future economic growth. Statistics show that Surrey is economically one of the most productive areas outside London. Dr Malcolm Parry, the Director of the Surrey Research Park, has said that Guildford is at the heart of this. He was in a position to know, as the contributions made by the Research Park and the University are central to the Borough’s economy. Having said that, there is much which is less satisfactory to contemplate. There are some pockets of social deprivation within this wealthy community, and the use of food banks is increasing. Housing costs are among the highest in the country, and traffic congestion is a constant problem. In fact, the overcrowded A3 has been described as ‘the single biggest problem for people living in Guildford today’.
