Fife Flyers swap the phoney war to actuality this weekend with a double-header in the Challenge Cup, the first major of the season.
On Saturday, Glasgow Clan visit Kirkcaldy and almost 24-hours later Belfast Giants arrive at the Rosslyn Street rink.
Saturday’s game faces-off at 19.15 and the Sunday start time is 17.15.
Fife, who, for the record, are the oldest professional ice hockey team in Britain, go into the games boosted by their victory over a quality touring side. They edged the University of Quebec-Trois-Rivieres 2-0 at Kirkcaldy and Flyers’ coach Tom Coolin (pictured) was delighted with the performance.
It came despite a flu bug in the dressing-room and the absence of highly-rated Martin Latal.
So, it’s Saturday night at Rosslyn Street in the Challenge Cup and games against this pair are normally worth watching.
