C R E A T I N G A D V A N T A G E MARCH edition 1 2020 OFFICIAL MATCHDAY fortnightly MAGAZINE OF THE HULL PIRATES £3.00 #WEAREPIRATES WWW.HULLPIRATES.CO.UK coachs corner Hi Everyone. Its tough to write these when things arent going so well results wise. I just think it sounds like excuses. Recently we’ve not quite been ourselves, making a few too many mistakes and it seems as every mistake we make at the moment just gets punished. The simple fact is we have to nd away out of it and we will. We just have to work a little smarter. The hustle is always there just sometimes you can work too hard and just end up going round in circles. Despite the result i think Sunday may have been what we needed. It was physical and at times a dirty game. Every guy on our team stood in and backed each other up. That in itself is the only way we get out of this......Together! JASON HEWITT So i ask you. PLAYER SPONSOR Stick with us, get behind the boys and well get back to the hockey and results we are used to ASAP!

TA has been such a huge support, knowledgeable and informa�ve charity for our family in helping us to support our son in therapies and his health when we felt lost due to the lack of crucial informa�on in the system. As a result our son has made huge gains across the board to which we are extremely thankful! If you are a parent whose child has just been diagnosed, TA are an incredible charity to connect with to help your child and you also as family. “Please pass on my sincere thanks to whoever put the document together; they have done a sterling job. As a parent of a child with ‘severe’ au�sm, I am so thankful to have people like you in my corner.” “Thanks so much for being there, giving me the tools and pointers to help my own son whose future looked so bleak but is now so much improved with addressing his health needs that we hear nothing of from the medical profession in general or in the mainstream media. Congratula�ons on a job well done!” “Thinking Au�sm is a lifeline for our family. It is our first port of call for any queries related to au�sm, for networking with other families and for informa�on that is vital on our day to day living with au�sm. With Thinking Au�sm we feel valued, respected and that we are not alone. We owe Thinking Au�sm our greatest and deepest gra�tude.” “I would like to thank you for organising this event, and at such a reasonable fee. This event exceeded my expecta�ons totally; very s�mula�ng, informa�ve and encouraging! I also liked the friendly atmosphere at the conference” “Wonderful organisa�on, knowledgeable speakers; you're making a difference to this world - keep it up. Thanks.” “Really fantas�c conference! Cu�ng edge science presenta�ons. I am invigorated, re-mo�vated and extremely op�mis�c for my son's future. Can't thank you enough.” “Thank you for advoca�ng for a scien�fic approach to au�sm and it’s co-morbid condi�ons!

WHAT GOT YOU INTO ICE HOCKEY: I got into hockey as my dad use to play (not very well) and he used to take me skating and to watch the Solihull Barons. I then decided when i was five i wanted to play and that was the end of that. WHATS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT: The most memorable moment has to be either winning the league in sheffield last year or the playoffs in coventry. Both were amazing but i would say the league was a bigger achievement. WHATS THE BEST ARENA YOU HAVE PLAYED IN: Best Arena is either Sheffield or Nottingham i would say. There was a place in turin that was built in the side of mountain and acted as a nuclear bunker which was cool, ] but i forget what its called. IS THERE A CERTAIN SONG YOU LISTEN TO BEFORE A GAME: No certain songs usually have music on shuffle. WHATS YOUR MESSAGE TO THE FANS: Keep bringing the noise. Our rink is amazing when its full and the fans are making noise, makes games real exiting. Q & A with David Norris WHAT POSITION DO YOU PLAY: Forward WHY DO YOU PLAY THIS POSITION: Growing up my favorate players were all forwards and i enjoy being part of scoring goals WHAT GOT YOU INTO ICE HOCKEY: My dad, he got me on skates as soon as i could walk. WHATS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT: Probably winning the Desert Classic at T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas whilst playing with ASU WHATS THE BEST ARENA YOU HAVE PLAYED IN: Either Yost Arena, where Michigan plays because of the history and atmosphere or PPG Arena where Pittsburgh Penguins play. IS THERE A CERTAIN SONG YOU LISTEN TO BEFORE A GAME: No not a certain song. I have a hockey playlist that has a ton of different music on. WHATS YOUR MESSAGE TO THE FANS: Thank you for your support, you have been very welcoming. I believe we will finish strong and a great playoff run. Im Excited to see what we can do.
