spaceman3113 Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Hey guys, I have been playing ball hockey quite alot recently and have always wanted to try playing ice hockey, I know Dundee have a recreational "hockey for all" one. But I was wondering if there was anything similar in Perth? I know the ice is back for public skating this month, but not even sure if they do ice hockey sessions there. I know they have done in the past. Any help is greatly appreciated! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughters play curling and die to the way the ice rink is run in Perth it is very much curling oriented. Yes they have public skating maybe most weekends if no curling on and then closed Monday to prepare ice for the weeks curling again. I have friends in Perth who play ice hockey so will check with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setting Son Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) I go quite regularly to see the Flyers . Unfortunately all the Scottish teams are languishing at the bottom of the uk league although the Stars have went on a run . Used to be Ice Hockey in Perth and the Panthers were popular . Sure I read on here that there was a North American still living in the area from playing in the 60s/70s . Maybe it was APB on Facebook though .

It's back open to the public but the timetable is very limited - its basically just Saturday and Sunday afternoons. https://www.liveactive.co.uk/Perth/ice-skating Always thought it was a shame that the place wasn't really designed with the possibility of live ice hockey in mind. I can't skate at all but would definitely go to watch a local team if Perth had one. A few years back I went to an NHL match and absolutely loved it.

When I came up a few years back I went to watch Dundee take on Nottingham Panthers. Never understood much of it but it was exciting and full of skulduggery which fans of both teams loved.

Ginger Bakers rebel army Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 My dad used to rave about the Panthers. Went to see the Vegas Golden Knights in November 2019 last time me and JB were in Vegas . My first and only ever live Ice Hockey match. One of the best sporting experiences I have ever been to, 20,000 in the T Mobile arena, $125 per ticket and that was the cheapest available. Won $1000 dollars on Buffalo Gold after the game, The Knights were on Freesport on Hogmanay , brilliant game, can’t wait to get back to see them again, worth every penny. blueheaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 Not quite ice hockey but similarities, a new floorball club has started in Perth, and plan to join the national league in September. Very similar to ice hockey in terms of rules, but less contact, no ice, trainers instead of skates and a lighter ball. Great fun and a great workout to boot. Check out Tayside Panthers on Facebook or instagram. Training is Wednesday nights 7-9pm at Bertha Park. First session is free and equipment can be provided. Most of the team are completely new to the sport and we’ve had some very promising results already. blueheaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up there with the best atmosphere at any sporting event I have ever been to. JB got a big St Andrews Cross flag made up with the Vegas Knights emblem in the middle , pure brilliant, might get hom to post it on here! Saints could learn a thing or two from Vegas Knights marketing. John Bonham 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bonham Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) The flag in question. Vegas moving on to Western final last night - brilliant stuff! 😎 I go watch Edinburgh Capitals regularly - we play in the SHL now. The games are great and we’re getting crowds of over 1000 every home game. Don’t think there is much desire at the moment to return to EIHL as its probably not financially viable just now, but would love to see us build towards it for the future. Hoping to get GBRA along to a Caps game in the new season! Edited May 15, 2023 by John Bonham blueheaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
