So, as the fans across the country prepare to don their team’s colours and park themselves in the rink for some ice hockey again, who are the ones to watch this season? Who will be filling up the goal column on the gamesheet with inevitable regularity?
With the Elite League officially underway, we look at some of the talking points from weekend and what they may tell us about how the next few weeks may unfold.
Luke Fulghum first started his career at junior level in 1998 for the Waterloo Black Hawks in Waterloo Iowa. Although the standard of hockey was high for the league, Fulghum managed to adapt well...
In 1998, Greg Owen made his first appearance in hockey by playing for Great Britain's under 18's squad. In just three games, Owen scored 2 goals in 3 games and received 6 penalty minutes. It wasn't in till 1999 Greg joined a club.
As is the case for all minority sports, ice hockey in Britain suffers from a questionable sense of identity. The game’s roots are in North America, and a vast number of the Elite League’s players and coaches from that continent; it is inevitable that the game will be split between the sporting cultures of Britain, and Canada and America.
