RN fixture schedule

Last Updated on Sunday, 04 July 2010 21:30 Written by RNIHA

The published RN fixture schedule has had to be curtailed as civilian recreational teams have had to drop our proposed challenge matches in favour of Summer Cup games.  Attempts to get replacement matches have  not been successful due to the lack of ice time at many venues (once again due to Summer Cup).  There are 5-6 competitions currently running in the UK which places great pressure on the limited ice available to many teams in the South.  Our current home ice time of 2300 on Saturday nights is also relatively unpopular and makes it difficult for us to get referees assigned.  The RNIHA will endeavour to enter one of these competitions next summer to ensure a steady list of matches can be maintained over the Summer.  However, entering such competitions will require a far greater level of commitment than that being presently shown by most players.  It is also hoped to propose a Portsmouth Cup be taken forward, run on a 'draft' principle (e.g. all interested players pay up front and 4 team captains are selected to draft players to their teams) with ad-hoc players (those who cannot commit up-front) serving to shore up rosters when regular players are  away.  Games would last 60-75 min and teams would be limited to 11 players (including goalie) to ensure everyone gets enough ice time.

2010 Combined Inter-Services and Tri-Service Command Championships

The Combined Inter-Services and Tri-Service Command Championships will take place at Ice Sheffield Tue 8 to Fri 11 Jun.  The Championships are open to all EIHA, SIHA and SRIHC registered RN players and available and interested individuals need to make themselves known to RNIHA staff ASAP to ensure logisitcs can be organised in good time.  The RNIHA plans to enter a Royal Marines (RN Cup A Division Champions), Fleet Air Arm and 'Rest of Navy' into the A division of the Tri-Service Command Championships in addition to a team of novice and beginner skaters into the new B Development division.  The RN representative squad will also try and reclaim their Inter-Services title after losing for the first time in 2009.    It is hoped to get some assistance for travel and accommodation from HMS TEMERAIRE but players must be a member of the Sports Lottery to benefit from any help.
