Mods, feel free to move/remove this if it's in the wrong place.
We’re currently putting together an e-book of stories from ice hockey fans in Britain to raise funds for Cancer Research UK and we need your help.
The book will be full of the stories that make watching ice hockey in this country what it is. The stories of the highs, the lows, the great nights and the nights you just wanted the stands to open up and swallow you. We all have these stories regardless of when, where or at what level they happened. This experience is what brings us together as ice hockey fans. We might experience it in different ways (it'll be interesting to see if we get the view of an incident from opposing fans) but we have experienced it and we talk about it and that's what we want. This isn't about fans of any particular team. The people putting this together are all Panthers fans but don't let that put you off. We hope to get stories from across all leagues and years. To us a story from a fan of an EIHL team that happened last season is just as good as a story from a Durham Wasp fan telling us about something that happened in the Castle Eden Cup back in the 80s. A story about Roy Halpin is as good as a story about a bit part player in the NIHL who did something funny. It's the stories that matter not where they come from. We may have to edit your stories but we want to keep it to a minimum as this about you stories being in your "voice". To help with that we'll be accept submissions in both written and audio formats. If you want to submit a story as an audio file we'll transcribe it into text for you. It doesn't matter how you record it, we want it to be as close as possible to if you were telling us the story across a table in the Bunkers Hill or the Murrayfield Bar over a pint. All the proceeds from sales of the book will go Cancer Research UK and the great work that they do.
