This game was played on Wednesday with the Blaze winning 7-4. Spoke to Matt Bradbury (Head Coach) and he says that he was very pleased with the result as Coventry iced all but their No1 netminder. A number of players were drafted in from Nottingham Lions and Sheffield with one player coming down from Scotland for the game. Matt says that the crowd of about 750 appeared to enjoy the game and Paul Thompson and the Blaze management treated them very well and the team were very appreciative of the positive reception. The GB team is preparing for the next Universiade and have other games scheduled as part of their preparation. In the past preparation of the team has just been training camps but without games it was difficult to judge strengths and weaknesses of lines etc. More to come hopefully, maybe even in Nottingham?
