Saturday Night ... is hockey night

[gauldrymini]

Folks,

The first SNL Dundee derby match between the Tigers (:thumbs up:) and the Comets (:moonie:) is this Saturday with a 19:30 face off at the Dundee Ice Arena.

These are usually explosive :explode: games with plenty of action, well worth a trip if you fancy something different to do this weekend.

Cheers

predicited punch-up came in the dying seconds of the final period, an old score to settle from a previous meet...

sounds good. I think one of my colleagues is into it and goes to Braehead to watch matches. actually I think he might be from Dundee... not sure who he supports.

Ice Hockey is not everyones "cup of tea" but it is well worth going along to see what it is all about:D

The Scottish National League is for amateur teams with teams from Aberdeen, Ayr, Belfast, Dumfries (Solway), Dundee x 2, Edinburgh, Kirkcaldy and Paisley.

Go on get along to support your local team:clap:

We sometimes head along to watch Clan Games when they're at Dundee, couple of friends are big Braehead fans:hand:;)

Good excuse for a curry from Ashoka Shak too ;)

I had a media pass for Braehead last year, haven't renewed it so far as no-one seems to want to buy the pics :(

My dad was into hockey big time just after the war when a lot of Canadian ex-servicemen were playing :thumbs up: Falkirk Ice rink was the place back then :p I'm sure one of his uncles played with them :confused:

The media pit at Braehead was "fun"

Haha, love it!!
Last Clan game we were at in Braehead, one of the goalies got the puck stuck in his face mask! :eek:
It was travelling at a fair old rate before that! ;)

Same game a wee girl (about 7 or 8) got another puck bounced off her napper about halfway up the stands! :eek::eek:
She got to keep it, and all the players went to talk to her after the game.. she was chuffed by that! :thumbs up:
