As my adventure to the spiritual home country of hockey ends with me sat in seat 39G of Air Canada’s flight to London, I find myself at a loose end and able to start to reflect on what has...

As the 2017/18 season kicks off, it’ll officially be 10 years since I arrived in Belfast from a small place called Fife (some of you may have heard of it). Nine years since I got to know Marty, around...

As I type this out we are only a few weeks away from the first games of a new season with the majority of Elite League teams taking on exhibition games in the lead up to the first day...
