Change of face-off for U16

There is a change of face-off time for the Bristol game on January 21st. It will now start at 19.00hr.

More info on new rink

The new Brixton rink is now open and, being brand new, is a wonderful facility. Whatever fondness we may have for the old place, the new rink is functionally better in just about every respect. So don't be put off by the new location - come along to Planet Ice, Brixton.

If the idea of parking in Brixton is putting you off, here's a parking map for the area to make things easier. See you there!

New rink opens soon

Streatham Ice Arena closing down next month... We are moving to our new temporary rink in Popes Road, Brixton!

As you all know, after many years of discussion, the ice rink at Streatham is being demolished to make way for a new Tesco Superstore complex that will also include a brand new ice rink, swimming pool, leisure complex and residential properties.

Whilst this is built we will be moving to a temporary rink in Popes Road, Brixton. The location is very central, right next door to the Leisure Centre off the high street. Brixton Market, Shops and cafes are also on our doorstep.

The Brixton rink is obviously brand new, new ice, great facilities and will be a wonderful place for us to continue growing as a club over the next 2 years. There are on site spaces for 22 cars and plenty of parking in surrounding roads although at some times this will be pay and display. The rink is also just a short walk from Brixton rail and tube stations.

Training and the new season

There will be a summer tune-up training session on Bank Holiday Monday from 7 to 9pm. Cost will be £10 and ONLY REGISTERED PLAYERS CAN TRAIN but you can register that evening if you come along with the fee and form (David will have spare forms).

Regular training restarts Monday September 5th 2011, 4.45 - 9pm.

And congratulations to Ben Nethersell, who was selected to the U14 England Team announced on Thursday!

Documents on the web

The Club has started to put official documents and forms onto the web to make life a little easier for everyone. You can access them from the 'Extras' option on the red menu bar at the top of every page or you can just click here!

Important club news!

The Club summer party will be held at Blacklands Farm on 26th June 2011. Make sure you're there! There will be summer training for four weeks starting June 6th. Registrations are due by June 20th 2011 to be sure of eligibility to play the first game of the season in September

Congratulations on a great season!

The U14’s are staying in A league after a thrilling end of season win. The Braves are to stay in the top flight by beating Swindon in the last game of the season to avoid the drop to the B league.

And more congratulations are due to Ben Nethersell who has been selected to EIHA School of Excellence this summer. He had a great Conference Tournament in Hull playing in defence for the South-East U-13 team.

The Under-18 team ices again!

After two seasons without an Under-18 team, the junior club at Streatham plans to ice a team again for the 2011-12 season. The club is currently looking to recruit players and netminders for their team, who will join an experienced squad that came third in the U-16 league last season.
