The Bulldogs were invited over to the new Seagulls rink for a pre-season training session on Saturday. A collection of U12’s, U14’s and U16’s enjoyed a total of around 2 hours of training with all players getting plenty of valuable ice time and experience. An excellent rink which is soon to be further enhanced with the building of a new spectator stand and separate warm up pad. We wish them every success in their debut year!

Senior Team join ENL North Div 2
by Nick Ratcliffe •
The Bulldogs have a senior team for the new season to compete in a total of 36 matches in the ENL North Div 2. This is part of our development plan to provide a pathway to our junior players to make the transition towards professional ice hockey. With so much young talent it is anticipated the most of our conference players, a high percentage who already represent England, will be provided with opportunities at the age of 16 to train up with the seniors to see if they are able to compete for a place on the team bench.
