LIVE – Belfast Giants v Hull Stingrays – UPDATE
WE ARE LIVE
Update – A little progress on the web access. I’m hoping to be good to go for the second period. I’m hearing from dundonald that Awada is out and Thornton ices in this game.
Update- apologies coverage will not start on time. I am trying to fix the problem. Will continue to advise.
NOTE- As I type this on my phone I am having difficulties gaining web access. I will advise in the next 15 minutes on the situation. Apologies. UKHL
Hull, laden with suspensions and injuries, take their game to the Dundonald International Ice Bowl. Where they will face a Belfast Giants squad who’s opening to the season has been quite underwhelming.
Join Patrick and Marty as they relay all the info from Dundonld, as well as take on your comments and questions in our fully interactive service.
