I picked up the Nottingham Trent University magazine Platform today and lo and behold the front cover is of Matt Myers against Manchester the other week
They sent a uni reporter to watch his first ice hockey game and their is a 2 page spread in it complete with pictures of the game, its really good!
The writer was very dubious about the sport before he went to watch the game but once at the game he seemed to enjoy it, he liked the skill and effort of the players and also the fan/player interaction.
He said the atmosphere was 'building' but the chants were a bit boring also he hated the sponsored everything 'it was getting a bit too much to take'
He enjoyed it and ended by saying
' If the game was given more coverage in this country then it could certainly attract a large following'
Excellent article

And that last line is bang on. I believe that IF the sport had the right coverage and the right public backing, ice hockey could attract a lot more fans to the game.
A few of my friends say that ice hockey is crap. However, they haven't ever seen an ice hockey game. It's annoying when that happens ;D

When Runnerbean goes to NTU in October (hopefully) I'm sure she'll do her best to promote the positive side of Ice Hockey  |

Well we all try, trying to pursuade my student mates to come to games is easier said than done

Is she going to play for the Uni team? They do beginner courses you know! I used to teach the learn to skate session in Sutton-in-Ashfield.

Don't think her athletics coach would want her playing hockey  One of the reasons for staying local was being able to continue with her training at Notts AC, but I'm sure she'll be happy to represent NTU at the British University Athletics Championships It is a proper university and she'll be studying the proper subject of Accountancy and Finance - rather her than me, so she must get that talent from her Dad! |

It is a proper university and she'll be studying the proper subject of Accountancy and Finance yeah, I know. Only teasing...as I'm sure Higgy will attest to. |
