Never been to a game......but a few guys at work are big fans of the ''PANTHERS''

They keep pestering me to tag along with them.... So I will be giving it a whirl in the near future :)

I hear the Panthers did well yesterday :whistle:

Hi peeps,

Just a fan. Support Cardiff Devils and Chicago Blackhawks. Been to see both. Although, now the nearest team to me is Coventry Blaze, but haven't been to see them in a while. Must make an effort to go. Try to catch NHL and Elite League on the box when I can.

Cheers,
CR.

Thanks for all the comments. I support the Newcastle Vipers and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Vipers not doing so well this season. I think the Pens could reach the Stanley Cup this year.

Encourage everyone to try and see a game in the U.K. Great sport - fast and they fight too :clap:

I am a Bracknell Bees fan which is a struggle at the moment as they are bottom of the league but I am still there every week enjoying the very occasional win.
I also follow the Blackhawks and have been to Chicago three times to watch them and last time I also went to watch them practice and met some of the team afterwards which was great.
The other NHL team I follow is the Rangers and have been to New York a couple of times to watch them play.
Not that I am obsessed or anything but I also keep an eye on the progress of Slavia Prague in the Czech Extraliga and went to watch them a few years ago.
Its a good job I have a wife who also likes hockey but I think she would like a holiday somewhere warm occasionally :D :D

Be quiet, Edge! :P

I am, in case you hadn't guessed, a Vancouver Canucks fan!

First Ice Hockey game I ever went to was a Manchester Storm game at the Nynex (as was)! Hooked ever since!

Managed to see the Nucks play in a Game 7 win over the St Louis Blues, what a fantastic atmosphere!!

In terms of UK hockey, I am a follower of my home town team (Manchester Phoenix) but being so close to Guldford, also keep an eye on the Flames.

Nice to see that UK Ice Hockey is getting a mention, it's woefully under-rated / unpopular!!!

Big Pittsburgh Penguins fan...Used to play for a Swindon team until last year. Also trained with the RAF team for a month or two too. Had to make the decision between hockey and Aviation Photography and this won...
