Ice Hockey: Clash Of The Seagulls - 21st July

Saturday 21st July 2012 Subzero Ice Arena, Cleveleys

Doors open at 4.30pm - Fun starts at 4.45pm
Admission £2.00 Adults, £1.00 children.

Yes - it's a veritable "clash of the seagulls" on Saturday evening as the Blackpool Seagulls take on their namesakes the Wyre Seagulls in this fascinating recreational ice hockey encounter. 

The feathers might fly but the fists certainly won't as this is a friendly match between the two groups of rink buddies who share the same ice at the Sub Zero rink in Cleveleys.

However, expect a competitive encounter all the same as the fledgling Wyre Seagulls - many of whom only took up the sport after the rink opened last year - hope to notch up their first ever victory against the Blackpool Seagulls team which is stuffed with veterans from the glory years of the original British League period.

If you haven't been to an ice hockey match before - or haven't been for a long time - this will be great introduction to the world's fastest team sport and above all, it's great family entertainment.

Just remember to bring a jumper or something warm to put on as, even if it is warm outside, it can still be pretty chilly in the ice rink....
