   Last life for playoff hopes Bees first shut out of the season and pipped to the post in Swindon  A visit to Swindon on Saturday night saw the Bees in a tight encounter with the Wildcats. Period one ended 1-1, Dan Rose scoring the first goal of the game assisted by Luke Jackson and  Adam Rosbottom who has returned to the Bees line up after leave for his role in the RAF. Wildcats were to edge 2-1 in front by the end of the second and went a goal further ahead in the third on the powerplay. Bees brought themselves back to one goal behind with a brilliant goal scored by Dom Gabaj assisted by Will Stead  but were unable to find the game tying goal with the final score of 3-2 ending the game in favour of Swindon.

   Must win game in Bristol followed by a visit from the Phantoms Mixed fortunes last weekend Raiders visited the Slough Ice Arena on Saturday night and the two teams provided us with an exciting contest. Raiders are a stronger opposition compared to last season so this was never going to be an easy game. Having said that, Bees were always in control and had a 2-0 lead by the end of the first with goals scored by Ryan Webb and Will Stead. Bees were to increase their lead in the second and we knew it wouldn't be long before Brendan Walkom had the puck in the net. Raiders were able to score their first of the night before the end of the period, a tied period and a scoreline of 3-1 going into the third. The final period saw a huge effort from Raiders to reduce the deficit and, despite some great saves from Matt Smital, Raiders scored their second goal of the evening with 5.07 remaining. The inevitable Raiders timeout followed with less than 2 minutes remaining and as expected Eth...

   Wildcats too good and Bison edge 15 goal thriller A tough weekend, Bees score 10 goals with no points to show for it Bees ventured down the M4 to Swindon on Saturday evening with the hope of coming away with two points. The Bees have a good record against the Wildcats this season and on their last visit to the Link Centre, although short benched, Bees came away with the win. Sadly all hopes of a repeat result were dashed as the Wildcats already had five goals before Bees were able to find the back of the net. Bees best period was the third, having come back from the second period break 6-1 down, Bees turned up the pace and found themselves within 3 goals by 47.26, Luke Jackson and Brendan Walkom adding to James Galazzi's second period goal. Wildcats did enough to contain the Bees for the last ten minutes and secure the 2 points with the final score 6-3. Stuart Mogg was man of the match for the Bees, his assist on the Bees first goal of the night was superb. Sunday night saw...
