With the season is fast approaching, we’ve been beavering away here in UKHL towers to bring you more live coverage this season.

We’ve created a new page which will host any games we’re covering live, you can find it here http://live.ukhockeylive.com

or by clicking the “Live Coverage” tab at the top of the page.

We’ll also still be available over on http://live.kotg.org

This Thursday night will see the first UKHL coverage of the season,
Belfast Giants v Newcastle Vipers from Dundonald International Ice Bowl.

And on Sunday the Vipers will feature again.

UKHL will hope to bring you all the big action talking points through a mixture of live text, audio reports and pictures from the arenas, mixed in with the usual chat and banter that have become a part of UKHL and KotG coverage in the last few seasons.

We’ll also be telling you how you can get involved, both from your computer and from the rink.

Victoria Silverwood mixes her time as a fan and off-ice official of the Cardiff Devils with her study in Criminology. The intricacies of Ice Hockey as contact sport throw up interesting legal dilemmas. Victoria has spent the last few years investigating and researching these within the sport, their effects on the players, fans and the sports draw in general. All this leading to her recent MSc dissertation entitled “Embracing the Goon: The Legitimisation of Fighting in the EIHL”.

Victoria spoke with UKHL about her work, the effects of violence within hockey, “The Code” and fans reaction to the events they witness.

 

Many thanks to Victoria for her time, we wish her well in her work.

Many thanks to both gentlemen for their time.
