Scottish teams renew old rivalries
Three Scottish ice hockey clubs will renew old rivalries with the announcement of the East Coast Challenge trophy that will feature Dundee CCS Stars, Edinburgh Capitals and Fife Flyers.
The tournament will commence with Fife Flyers taking on Edinburgh Capitals in Kirkcaldy on 25th January and will culminate with a 'Finals Night' in Dundee Ice Arena on Thursday 17th March.
The three teams will play each other in a 'round robin' series of games, home and away with the team finishing with the most points qualifying automatically into the final. The teams qualifying in second and third places will play each other on the 'Finals Night' with the winner contesting the final against the 'round robin' winners.
Each team will be allowed a maximum of four imports with the rest of the roster made up from British trained players. On the final day the two games will be 2 x 20 minutes periods with a running clock but the final 2 minutes of the 2nd period will be played with a stopped clock. There will be no overtime or penalty shots in the round robin games.
Fixtures have been agreed and are as follows:
Tuesday 25th January - Fife Flyers v Edinburgh Capitals - face-off 7.30pm

Dundee CCS Stars' director Stephen Ward said, "This is great opportunity to renew some old rivalries and should make for an exciting tournament for the supporters of all the clubs. It gives Stars' fans the chance to travel Murrayfield and Kirkcaldy to meet up with old friends."
Capitals' GM Scott Neill added, "It will be great to be involved with a competition that includes Flyers and it gives us the chance to rekindle memories of the BNL days and before. It should be a good festival of hockey for the fans."
Speaking for Fife Flyers, Ronnie Herd commented, "This gives the Flyers' fans the chance to welcome Dundee and Edinburgh back to our building for competitive games. We are looking forward to taking part and I'm sure we will get some exciting hockey."
