Murrayfield Racers’ director of hockey, Tony Hand, warned fans weeks ago that it would be tough for his re-born side, by Nigel Duncan.
They suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of one National Ice Hockey League (NIHL) club last weekend. Now, Racers, beaten 8-2 at Billingham Stars on Sunday, entertain Blackburn Hawks at Murrayfield on Saturday (face-off 6pm).
A two for one offer to students will be in operation for the clash in the NIHL North Cup.
Hand knows what his men will face as he used to coach a number of the English players. And the former Murrayfeld Racers legend said: “Blackburn are one of the top NIHL 1 teams with a lot of quality players who I used to coach. It will very a very tough match for the Racers.”
Hand is, however, pleased with the effort his squad are giving but added: “We just have to settle down defensively as team.”
Be sure to pick up your tickets for this game on Saturday 15th September 2018, Faceoff 6pm.
