 Bees look to continue winning streak Bees deliver a four point opening weekend  Saturday evening saw the Phantoms visit Slough for the Bees first game of the regular league season. Arriving after a narrow loss the previous evening, Phantoms were looking for their first points of the campaign. Bees were to find the net twice in the first period as Marcel Balaz scored his first and second goals for the Bees. Phantoms turned up the heat in the second period and at the end of the 40 minutes had brought the game to a tie at 3-3 with Bees only goal of the period scored by Harry Harcup . An exciting third period saw Brendan Baird give Bees the lead again with a superb shot from the blue line flying past Marr's left shoulder. Phantoms then tied the game again before Bees scored 2 goals on the bounce with Gabaj and Landsberg on target. Phantoms, not willing to give up, brought a goal back and saw the opportunity to pull their goalie as Bees Harry Harcup sat 2 minutes for holding. This...

 Bees league opener on home ice against Phantoms Everyone Active Shield stays in Romford for another year  Raiders have retained the Everyone Active shield as they proved the better team over the two games last weekend. Whilst classed by many as a friendly competition, it was clear that both teams wanted to get their hands on the trophy and were not holding back. On Saturday Raiders made the trip to Slough. A goalless first period saw plenty of chances for both teams with Windebank in goal for Raiders and Preece between the pipes for Bees managing to deny all chances.

Not to be outdone by their rivals, Bees were to tie the period with goals from Adam Rosbottom and Dominik Gabaj. With no more goals in the third period it was all to play for in Romf...

Bees look to bring back the Everyone Active Cup to Slough Bees friendly weekend with Wildcats shows promise Last weekend ice hockey got back underway in the NIHL National with pre season games  underway across the league. Ironically the biggest challenge was the weather, with temperatures over 30°c outside the ice was difficult to manage and proved that condensation on the plexiglass was not a condition that just happens in Basingstoke! Both rinks did a great job in ensuring both fixtures survived. Bees faced the Swindon Wildcats away on Saturday before welcoming them to Slough on Sunday. Wildcats edged the Bees out in both games winning 3-1 In Swindon and 5-3 in Slough. It was a chance for both squads to test their lines following roster changes in the off season and to get a feel for the opposition with the league openers just a couple of weeks away.  Both teams should have been very happy with their performances and will have some notes to take away from the matches to work...
