On behalf of the Staff and players we would just like to say a Massive Support we have received from everyone so far. Today we were astounded to see how many where in our corner and making an amazing amount of noise for us.

7. It seems even ice hockey can’t please some people

To the miserable bugger sat in block 10, row F, if you come to a game with ear plugs in, you obviously expected it to be loud, so dont complain, moan and keep turning around when we are shouting and clapping. It's a fan participation sport. #miserable #grumpy

10. To finish, it’s only right we leave the last word to Mark Thomas after what has been a tragic week for him and his family.  RIP Vicki

Thank you @steelershockey for everything you did tonight. It was a special night for my family & I, we will never forget it. #ForVicki
