I learned to ice skate there in about '68 and was a fairly regular attendee until the late 70's when I moved away. Shortly after I heard the place had closed down as the ice making gubbings went tits up.

Pretty sure I attended a few games there but it's all a bit hazy. Last game I attended was to see the L.A. Raiders in a grudge match at the Kings Centre in L.A.

As a true sporting encounter, it lay somewhere behind Giant Haystack defeating Big Daddy at the Fairfield Halls on a freezing cold, wet and windy November Saturday afternoon and the Womens Institute speed knitting finals of 2003.

I went to a few Nottingham Panthers games a few years ago as my sisiter lives up there an dwas into it. My nephe wplayed for their second team as well

Pretty enjoyable stuff, but I went to the opening Chicago Blackhawks Stanley cup game in May last year and that was a whole different kettle of fish. Massive crowds and great atmosphere

I take the boys to see Invicta Dynamos about 2-3 times a season, love it.

Completely agree about NHL Playoff games. Had the pleasure of seeing the Rangers against the Caps in the Garden. One of best sporting days I have ever had. Loud and a win.

Redwings vs Maple Leafs was my favourite but have seen Redwings 6-7 times and its immense. Watching NHL with 20000+ hockey fans is something else.

I used to watch the Streatham Redskins back in the 80s - anyone remember my favourite player Erskine Douglas?

I now live in Nottingham where the Panthers are a big team. Fingers crossed the new Redskins are successful and get a good local following,

The Panthers are bloody good team. Too bad about Joe Jensen though. Weird to retire at this stage of the season.

Been to watch the Chelmsford Chieftains a fair few times, not a massively popular sport over here so it's usually a top quality evenings entertainment for a very reasonable cost.

Big Islanders fan, been to six games in four visits to New York. Not sure how I feel about them moving to Brooklyn, it saves a trek over to Hempstead but The Colisseum is like Selhurst, a bit run down but it feels like home.

Never been to a game in the UK though, hoping they'll set up a team in Brighton one day.

Nope. Premier Sports for all hockey minus World Championships and Spengler Cup which is on Eurosport. They have EIHL and NHL.

Think it is a club by club basis for EPIHL, who usually do live streams. (The one with Bracknell Bees, Guildford Flames ect).

Then you have the nonexistent coverage of NIHL (Streatham Redskins ect.)

Have taken my eldest to a couple of Braehead Clan games in the EIHL. She loves it (but thankfully, not as much as she loves Palace). I enjoy it, even if the standard is nowhere near top level. It's a bit different attending games where I don't really have a rooting interest other than my daughter's happiness.

Went again last night to see Streatham play Cardiff. 1-0 after 29 seconds but ended up winning 6-2 and their unbeaten streak is eight games now.

Was great fun again, really would recommend to anyone who is considering going.

If anyone local is at a loose end, Streatham are in a Cup Semi tonight at home. Face-off is at half 5 and it's against Invicta from Kent. Should be a good 'un!

New season starts on Saturday, Streatham at home to MK Thunder. It's a 5.30 start so a bit of a squeeze to get there after Palace, but should be a good one.

I interviewed the Captain, a massive Palace fan, for the new issue of Flying High too, which is out on Saturday at the game (plug plug) - To view the link you have to Register or Login - he's a top bloke, loves the Palace and really wants to see more Palace fans at the Streatham games.

Gonna give this thread another bump as there's a big game on Saturday as Streatham, who are currently top and unbeaten in nine games, are at home to Chelmsford, who are usually the big boys and favourites to win everything at that level.

There's no Palace, it's a 5.30 face-off so you'll be done by half 8 and it really is a lot of fun. Like I mentioned before, the Captain is a massive Palace fan and would love to see more of us down at the games.

Just last week went to watch the Rangers at MSG, never really gave the sport a second glance but loved it. I might try and get in a few Guilford Flames games.

Streatham made the end of season play-offs this year and will be at home in the first leg this coming Saturday. No Palace, so definitely worth going along to support. They're in good form and scoring a lot of goals (just beat the team in fourth 7-2 away) and there's bound to be lots of action.

I saw the Guildford Flames a couple of weeks ago; was really good fun and I'll definitely go back next season. I was surprised at how well supported it was; there were 1600 people at the game.
