Greg McDonald's in there again, but goalie Russell Storey has smothered the puck as Ivor Bennett guards the goal. Durham no.3 in the background is the fearsome Roly Barrass. Very big and very dirty, a real tough customer you messed with at your peril.

Now I'm no goalie, but I reckon Storey is a bit out of position here as Dwayne Keward looks for Mike Urquhart at the far post.

11 February 1984. Panthers 8 Fife Flyers 8. This was an eventful game, with Panthers 2-6 down half way through, before coming back to lead 7-6 and eventually make a draw with a Greg McDonald goal with three minutes to go. Greg McDonald at it again. McDonald was a fabulous player by the standards of the day. He was a wonderful skater and had great balance as well. He had an eventful career here. The week before this game he played a '60 minute shift', i.e. the entire game, up in Murrayfield. Towards the end of the season, he got a massive ban (half a season, I think) for smacking someone whilst he was standing behind the bench in his civvies 'injured'. And here he is emerging from the ladies in Durham (photo not taken by me, I hasten to add)

21 February 1984. Panthers 5 Don Mills Comets 9. And here he goes again. You wouldn't believe he was a defenceman looking at these photos.

25 February 1984. Panthers 2 Dundee Rockets 14. Yes, that's right. Panthers 2 Dundee Rockets 14. One of those "you young 'uns don't know you're born" games we regularly sat through in those days. This was an improvement on the previous time they came to Nottingham, when they scored 15. Quite a bit of interest here. Panthers players l to r are Paul O'Higgins and the late Russ Timmins during one of the approximately 10 minutes of ice time he got that season. Dundee players l to r the splendidly named Jock McGuff (no, really) and the no-superlatives-can-describe-how-great-a-player-he-was Roy Halpin. There's been no questions for a while, so for those of you still looking at this thread, name the player with the beard standing second from the left in his civvies with his arms folded.

3 March 1984. Dundee Rockets 9 Panthers 5. The week after that drubbing we went up to Dundee and (by our standards) kept it respectable, although with Rockets 5-1 up at the end of the first we were bracing ourselves for another double figure score against. Here we have Greg McDonald crashing the goal again, only it's ours this time. Dwayne Keward with a bit of a cross-check on the left. In the background, folk hero 'Big' Gordie Patterson.

(L to R) Andy Linton and John Bremner try to prevent Peem Lafferty (no.20 - they had some great names up in Dundee) shooting. Andy Linton had to stop playing after he suffered a career ending injury when took a slapshot in the eye. Don't know why the goals are red and white. And look at the black kick boards. Great for making the puck invisible. Going to Scotland was a real adventure into the unknown in those days.

Greg McDonald up in attack yet again, but he's up against a pretty formidable trio in (L to R) Ronnie Wood, Chris Brinster and Mike Walker, not to mention goalie Mike Ward.

I'm not sure, but I think this might be a Panthers' goal. Take a long hard look, as this was a rare occurance. The following night we went to Ayr and lost 10-1. Those Dundee/Ayr weekends were the hardest. No budget airlines in those days; no toilets on the coaches. 8-9 hour coach trip to Dundee; an hour back to the hotel in Kirkaldy; major session; 3-4 hour coach trip to Ayr the next day; never-ending coach trip back from Ayr Sunday night/Monday morning. Must have been mad.

10 March 1984. Panthers 4 Streatham Redskins 10. Normal service resumed. Greg McDonald tries his best v. Peter Quiney (on the ice) and Trevor Cogan, one of the nicest blokes I have met in all my years following hockey. In the background Gary Brine not moving the goal for once. Got to say Streatham did have a pretty smart kit. Gary Stefan 6+0; Tony Goldstone 1+7 (see my reply no. 268 on page 18)

This is great Stef - keep it coming! It's almost as good as match night and with a history lesson thrown in as well!

Ex Wasps Nettie - Ron Katernyuk?? 'Tis indeed Mr Katernyuk. A import goalie in an era when import goalies simply didn't happen. Not surprising that he made quite an impact. None of us had seen a goalie as good as him, hence this being a sight all of us in Nottingham would have liked to have seen permanently, not just guesting in a Don Mills game. My main memory of Katernyuk was that during stoppages in play he would constantly sweep the ice chips out of his crease with his stick and leave them along the goal line from the bottom of the posts towards the corners. The effect of this was that opposition forwards trying to pass the puck from behind the goal to a colleague by the post, or who were trying a wrap-around, had to get the puck through a heap of ice before being met by the almost impenetrable wall of Big Ron. Until they got wise to it, that is, and started sweeping it away themselves as often as possible.

17 March 1984. Panthers 9 Cleveland Bombers 6. Yes, Kim, a win, although the following night we went to Durham and lost 20-1. The fact the two Panthers attackers in this picture (Greg McDonald and Mike Urquhart) are defenders sums up what was a ghastly season on and off the ice. We won 9 league games all season and finished with a goal difference of -94. It culminated in an open letter from Dwayne Keward asking the fans to get off the players' backs. It's on Pete Walch's website on the 1983/4 page if you want to read it. I'd recommend you do, as it also gives a good summary of the lot of a hockey player in that era. On the left, Cleveland no. 19 is Phil 'Leapy' Lee, one of the most talented British defencemen of the day.

Greg McDonald in the thick of it AGAIN. Neil McKay cruises in on the right. Cleveland no.6 looks like he's done something in his shorts.

Dwayne Keward's goal is met with hysterical joy by the Panthers fans against the wall.

7 April 1984. Panthers 5 Peterborough Pirates 6. The aforementioned Ron Katernyuk in action for his proper team. Peterborough were a division 1 team at this time. This game was the second leg of a challenge set up with the idea of both teams looking at a guy called John Glynne, with a view to maybe signing him the following season. He was to play for them in the first leg and us in the second. Unfortunately in the first leg the previous weekend he started a massive brawl and got a match penalty, so never played for us or, to my knowledge, in this country again. That first game was also the one where Greg McDonald, who wasn't playing, joined in the fight from behind the bench and got a gross. This game completed an aggregate 10-7 win for Pirates over the two legs.

Katernyuk watches the puck go wide. This photo is interesting as it has Katernyuk, who made his name at Durham, and Phil Adams, who made his name at Streatham, playing for Peterborough, and Rob Carnegie, who not only made his name at Peterborough, but was an absolute legend there, playing for us. Note also Carnegie wearing those girly Cooperalls that at one time threatened to replace good old shorts and socks.

Katernyuk under a bit more pressure from Paul O'Higgins and Gavin Fraser.

You know, it's struck me looking back on this thread:
a) how many of the opposition teams are we still playing?
b) how many of the opposition teams even exist?
More reasons I can't get in an utter state when we lose a game or can't win a league. We've had hockey in the top league of whatever era we've played in for 30 years. No other fans in this country can say that.
