  Robbed by the Tigers and Phantoms good form continues One point out of four but should have been more The Tigers came to tea on Saturday evening and given their poor form of late we had hopes that the points were Bees for the taking. Tigers new import, Rory Hermann, was debuting for the team and Bees saw the eagerly awaited return of Josh Martin from injury, James Galazzi returned from suspension but sadly Alan Lack was absent from the line up. Although Tigers were the first to score the Bees found themselves 2-1 up at the end of the first period courtesy of a brace from Brendan Walkom. Tigers brought the game back to 2-2 half way through the second period before an altercation at the Tigers net between Josh Martin and Brad Day (Tigers n/m) and a melee of other Tigers saw Bees given a 5 on 3 opportunity and who should net for the Bees?, Brendan Walkom scoring his hat trick goal.   Period 3 saw the Tigers push for the equaliser and a Tigers timeout called at 57.54 saw Br...

   Bees pick up points in 3 of last 4 games Two out of four points for rejuvenated Bees Bees welcomed Wildcats to Slough for a rare Friday evening fixture. Apparently the Wildcats are not a fan of Friday night games, as they have very little success on this day of the week and fortunately for the Bees this fixture was to be no different for Aaron Nell and co. Bees were to come out all guns firing and were 3-0 up at the end of the first period courtesy of Brendan Walkom, Dominik Gabaj and Juha Lindgren. Bees were to add another goal in the second period, Harvey Stead with a cracking goal allowing the Bees a 4 goal cushion at the end of the period. The first half of the third period saw Bees take a couple of minor penalties which they killed but then Dom was to head to the box for a cross check timed at 52.18 and finally the Wildcats were able to put something on the score sheet. Colby Tower found the net but it took a lot of discussion by the officials and input from the goal j...

Probably the best weekend so far this season Back to two imports, having our coach on the bench and a three point weekend We had all been counting the games until Dominik Gabaj could return to the Bees lineup following his 10 game suspension and in a way it was fitting that his first game back was an away fixture in Basingstoke which was the same rink he played his first ever game for the Bees. On his debut for the Bees he was impressive and the same could be said of this game too. Bees were to go into the period 1 break with a 1-0 lead courtesy of Lewis English . After the break, Bison were to draw the game level before Jack Goodchild gave the Bees the lead again on his debut, This period saw the most blatant too many men on the ice not get called against the Bison, it was obvious to everyone other than the officials and Bison couldn't believe their luck. The period ended 2-1 to the Bees. Period 3 was a tight affair with Bison throwing everything they could at the Bees net. Bees w...

  Jack Goodchild is a Bee Phantoms too strong for Bees Phantoms edged out the Bees 4-2  in our first game of 2023. A goalless first period saw both teams awarded 2 powerplay opportunities each. It's fair to say that many of the Bees fans believed the 2 minute minor check to the head penalty awarded to Phantoms seemed lenient especially as JJ Pitchley was down on the ice for several minutes but that's hockey. Bees would be the first to score on the night, an even handed goal scored by JJ timed at 22.34.It didn't take Phantoms too long to equalise and then take the lead. Gossy made some outstanding saves to keep the Bees in the game and at the end of the second Bees were trailing by the one goal. Phantoms had the best scoring opportunities in the third and stretched their lead to 4-1 but Bees hadn't given up and a great goal by Juha brought the Bees back to within 2 goals. The Bees pressured Phantoms into an interference call at 58.52 which meant only one thing a timeout ...

 Bees start 2023 with a visit from the Phantoms Raiders take the four points over the Christmas break double header Raiders edged the Bees home fixture by 3 goals to 2 and by a scoreline of 4 goals to 1 in their rink. Juha Lindgren was absent for the Bees and with both Dom Gabaj and James Galazzi still serving bans this was always going to be a hard couple of games. Raiders seem rejuvenated from their poor season last year, Alex Roberts has also made a huge difference to their scoring threat too. Our goal scorers were Seb Mohr, Ryan Webb and JJ Pitchley. Seb scoring his first Bees goal and looks more than capable of holding his own in our league. Ryan Webb has found some excellent form when the team needed it the most and JJ Pitchley is showing signs that he is returning to the great player that we know he is. All the players really worked hard and would have been disappointed to not earn any points over the two games, especially the home fixture where they deserved more. Player of...
