OFFSIDE - When any member of the 

attacking team precedes the puck carrier 

over the defending team’s blue line. 

ICING - When a player shoots the puck 

across the red centre line and past the opposing 

red goal line. Icing is not called if 

the player’s team is killing a penalty or an 

onsides attacker or defending goaltender 

touches the puck first. 

THE PLAYERS - Netminder: The 

netminders primary task is simple - keep 

the puck out of his own net. Offensively, 

he may start his team down the ice with 

a pass, but seldom does he leave the net 

he guards. 

HOCKEY 101 

Defence: These players try to stop the incoming play at their own blue line. They try a break-up passes, block shots, cover 

opposing boards and clear the puck from in front of their own goal. Offensively, they get the puck to their forwards and follow 

the play to the attacking zone, positioning themselves just inside their opponents blue line at the “points”. 

Centre: The striker on the ice, the centre leads the attack by carrying the puck on offence. On defence, he tries to disrupt a 

play before it gets on his team’s side of the ice. 

Wings: The Wings team-up with the Center, on the attack, to set up shots on goal. Defensively, they attempt to break-up plays 

by their counterparts and upset the shot attempts. 

THE OFFICIALS Referee: Black and White striped shirt with Orange armbands. The referee supervises the game, calls 

the penalties, determines goals and handles face-offs at centre ice to start each period. 

Linesman: Black and White striped shirt. Two are used. They call offside, offside passing, icing and handle all face-offs not 

occurring in centre ice. They do not call penalties but can recommend to the referee that a penalty be called. 


Welcome to tonight’s game 

For the first time since the very first week 

of the season I have been able to speak 

about icing a full strength team and the 

return of Donatas, Adrian and Pavel. 

This itself is very positive and I think 

will give a huge lift to everyone around 

the club. We have missed these fantastic 

players and I know how frustrating it has 

been for them having to watch for the 

past 5/6 weeks. 

Now we are back to full strength we have 

to start building momentum back up once 

again. We have to find the chemistry we 

had pre-season, while easing the players 

back up to 100% fitness. Just having them 

dress gives all our players a massive lift. 

Last weekends results were not what we 

had hoped for, we collectively felt dissapointment 

at not taking at least a point on 

Sunday against a very good MK team. 

I thought we played some great stuff and 

moved the puck around very efficiently 

throughout the game. This is something 

we will be working on now we are back to 

full strength and putting on some fluent 

performances for you to enjoy. 

As I predicted earlier on in the season, 

this could be the most competitive EPL 

campaign in history with a wide range of 

teams challenging for the top spots. 

It’s a great advert for British hockey and 

makes every single game an interesting 

encounter. 

Once again, thank you for your continued 

support! 

Enjoy the games!.....

with Tom Relf 

Tom Relf is one of our new Dogs this year. 

Jane Williams caught up with the 18 year 

old d-man on a recent bus trip to find out 

more about him. 

First interest in hockey... 

“My parents went to watch Bracknell 

in the BNL, there was good hockey to 

watch and they got me into skating from 

there. As soon as I could skate I picked up 

a stick and I joined a team in Bracknell 

from the age of four”. 

Early influences... 

“I played junior hockey in Bracknell and 

also played roller hockey. My parents 

were a big influence on me, they got me 

into the game. We then made friends in 

hockey and other friends began to play 

hockey because it was cool thing to do”. 

Memorable firsts... 

“I remember my first tournament and 

my first game. I think I was about five 

and it was in the old Cardiff Arena. My 

first senior game is a vivid memory, obviously 

it wasn’t that long ago! I’ll always 

remember my first EPL goal for the Dogs, 

against Telford. I’ll take the nickname 

you’ve given me, ‘Top Shelf Relf’, I’m 

hoping to add to my total - I’ll try for the 

top shelf!” 

Education and hockey... 

“When I was doing my A levels I knew I 

wanted to go to university somewhere 

and I looked at hockey clubs near universities. 

I certainly didn’t want to quit 

hockey. Sheffield is a city that has two 

universities and of course the Steeldogs 

are here. It was an easy choice. I spoke 

with Woody about coming and travelled 

to take part in some skating sessions. 

As soon as I received my results Woody 

was one of the first people I texted. It was 

quite nerve wracking opening the envelope, 

I was more nervous thinking about 

the hockey aspect than the academic 

side”. 

Study vs Steeldogs... 

It’s tough having all your weekends travelling 

or preparing for games. I do get 

free time and I use it wisely. For the last 

couple of years I’ve spent my weekends 

doing this so it’s not unusual for me. My 

university workload isn’t too bad at the 

moment, I can see a time later in the year 

when I’m working in the bus. I don’t feel 

I’m missing out on student life. I get the 

best of both worlds, you can’t beat your 

hockey family. It’s so much fun spending 

your time with the team, you can’t beat 

that”. 

8 


f 

Summer visits to Sheffield... 

“I came up during the off season in order 

to get to know my new team mates, skate 

with the coach and get to know the club. 

When you move to a new city it’s a good 

idea to come and check it out. Also there 

were many people to meet and get to 

know and develop chemistry with players 

on the ice. I like to get to know people 

on a personal level”. 

First impressions of the club... 

“When I first arrived I was really scared 

of Patto, in fact I begged him not to hit me 

when we first met – he just laughed! He 

has the reputation but you know he’s one 

of the nicest guys I’ve met. The Steeldogs 

of the last few seasons bare no resemblance 

to this team, we are much more 

skilful and have some very gifted players”. 

Family fans... 

“Mum is always watching. She’ll catch 

the live streams, travel to the games 

close to home. I know she’s commenting 

on Facebook and Twitter. It’s great when 

family watch and support your career. 

Mum has got my sister into hockey too, 

she plays in Bracknell. Family give up a 

lot of their time and their world to help 

us get to where we want to be. Mum is an 

amazing woman, I wouldn’t be where I 

am without her”. 

Sheffield Hallam University life... 

“I’m studying Sport and Exercise Science, 

at the moment I have four of five modules 

on my course such as human anatomy, 

how physics and bio mechanics can help 

us improve our movement, it’s all human 

physiology and what the human body 

can do. It’s a three year course. After the 

course I’m not sure what career I’ll be 

wanting. I hope to still be playing hockey 

with the Dogs. 

“I’m really loving the city of Sheffield. My 

accommodation is excellent, the city centre 

is a really nice place. There’s always 

something to do and you never get bored. 

I feel that Sheffield is home. 

It was important to chose a university 

near a rink and hockey team, Sheffield 

Hallam fitted the bill perfectly. I knew 

there was a hockey team too and heard 

about the games between the two universities 

and playing at the Arena in front of 

6000 fans is attractive. I hope to train and 

play with SHU at the end of the season”. 

Team mates ... 

“The best trainers are Palak and Kumeliauskas, 

who always give 100% in 

everything they do and they are lead 

by Morgs. They are so focused, want to 

do well in training and are just ahead of 

everyone else. The most vocal members 

of the group are Donny and Morgan”.

MATCH REPORT 

SATURDAY 19th november 2016 - EPIHL LEAGUE/cup 

steeldogs 3 bees 4 

Saturday night hockey at iceSheffield 

saw the Bradfield Brewery Sheffield 

Steeldogs take on the Bracknell Bees 

looking to put last week behind them 

and take revenge for the recent midweek 

defeat against the Bees. The Dogs had a 

short bench missing Pattison, Shudra 

and Charnock. 

The puck was dropped and the game 

got off to a good start for the Dogs with 

Kirk making Mettam make the first save 

of the game. Hadfield was then tested at 

the other end of the ice and during the 

first Bees powerplay Thompson was in 

the spot to fire home. Three minutes later 

on another powerplay the Bees doubled 

their lead as Thompson scored his second 

of the game. Trailing 0-2 the Steeldogs 

took control of the puck for a few minutes 

with Brcko, Smith and Kumeliauskas all 

having good chances. With Sheffield attacking 

the Bees goal more and more, 

momentum was on their side to create 

the chance for Smith feeding Mrňa to net 

his first of the game. But the Bees had a 

response just before the break, Lascenko 

keeping the two goal lead. Just before 

the buzzer, the Steeldogs thought 

they’d scored but the referee judged the 

net to be off its moorings before the puck 

crossed the line. End of the first 1-3 

had Hadfield working hard in the net to 

keep Bracknell at bay, Mettam also received 

a workout from the Steeldogs forwards. 

With under two minutes remaining 

Mrňa was there to score the second 

for the Dogs, 2-3. 

The final period would see lots of play in 

the centre of the ice. Time was ticking so 

Bosas got things underway with a shot 

going wide, then a swift power play for 

the Dogs saw some patient play around 

the Bees goal, but then Smital was able 

to break away and scored a short hander. 

Then a trio of pings off the post, first 

Smital then Bosas and finally Spearing 

all causing the metallic resonance of 

puck on post. With 7 minutes left Mrňa 

lifted the Steeldogs with his hat-trick 

goal. With the game now being a one 

goal game, it was time for Woody to call 

a timeout in preparation for taking Hadfield 

to the bench. 68 seconds left and 

Hadfield departed for the extra man but 

in those last seconds the Steeldogs were 

unable to find the equaliser. End of the 

game 3-4 

Man of the Match 

Steeldogs – Mrňa 

Bees – Mettam 

The second period offered some early 

physical play both teams having players 

in the box and a mixture of powerplay 

and four on four hockey filled the middle 

twenty minutes of the game. The Bees

MATCH REPORT 

SUNDAY 20th november 2016 - EPIHL LEAGUE/cup 

phoenix 5 steeldogs 2 

On Sunday night the Bradfield Brewery 

Sheffield Steeldogs travelled to Fylde to 

take on the Manchester Phoenix. 

The opening minutes of the period saw 

Manchester take a two nil lead, first 

through Wood then Meidl. The Steeldogs 

didn’t really have much to show from the 

first, although the visitors outshot the 

home team. 

Into the second period and the Dogs came 

out with much more vigour and intensity. 

Palak was using his speed to break 

into the Phoenix zone, Kirk showed his 

determination, Brownley and Thompson 

enjoyed a little more ice time and showed 

great effort on their shifts. Their persistence 

would be rewarded. No further 

scoring in the second period. 

Into the third and Kirk opened the scor- 

ing for the Steeldogs, followed quickly 

by his second. The bench celebrated the 

tying goal and confidence was rising. The 

very next passage of play saw the Phoenix 

take the lead again, Kovar on hand 

to score the third. The teams continued 

exchanging offence until Manchester 

scored their fourth of the game. With 2 

minutes remaining Wood called the timeout 

and brought Hadfield to the bench. 

With the extra skater it was hoped that 

a tactic that has worked so often would 

have the effect of being a goal back but a 

break out of the defensive zone and long 

shot gave the Red Rose team the fifth goal 

and the points. 

Man of the Match 

Phoenix – Wood 

Steeldogs – Morgan

MILTON KEYNES 

LIGHTNING 

Tonight we welcome the Milton Keynes Lightning, staff to the Pound. This will be game #23 for the 

Dogs, our 2nd against the Lightning, with each taking a win. They are currently 16-6-1 on 33 points, 

sitting 2nd in the league. In their last 4 games they have lost 1, 3-1 away to the Basingstoke Bison. 

Last night they will have hosted the 3rd placed Hull Pirates. Based on both teams current form it 

is likely to have been a well fought game with either team taking the points. The Lightning are 3 

points ahead of the Pirates but will be really keen to take the points, as they chase league leading, 

Telford Tigers. 

Swedish forward, Monir Kalgoum played 2 seasons with the Lightning in 2009 and 2011.Instantly 

recognisable on the ice because he wore white skates. His brother is Mika Zibanejad who was 

drafted by the Ottawa Senators in 2011, 1st round 6th overall. He is currently playing for the New 

York Rangers. 19 games into the season he is on 15 pts (5+10). Monir left the Lightning for Swedish 

2nd Division team Botkyrka HC and retired at the end of that season. 

In December the GB U20`s 

will be travelling to Budapest 

for the Ice Hockey 

World Championships, 3 

players from the Lightning 

will be making the trip, Edward 

Knaggs, Glenn Billing 

and Luc Johnson. 

Lightning Captain is long 

serving, 14 and counting, 

#18 Adam Carr with 

Leigh Jamieson and Bobby 

Chamberlain as Alternate 

Captains. 

Whoever you are supporting 

tonight I hope you enjoy 

the game and have a safe 

journey home.

TELFORD 

TIGERS 

Good evening, it’s game #26 for the Dogs. We welcome the Telford Tigers, staff and fans to the 

Pound. The Tigers currently lead the league with 39 pts from 23 games, at the time of writing. They 

are 18-2-3. This will be our 3rd meeting, the previous 2 being 1 goal games with the Tigers taking 

the points. 

Apart from a couple of losses the Tigers are really showing that the off season changes are paying 

off. They are 6 pts ahead of 2nd place Milton Keynes Lightning. 

Matthew Davies leads the teams in points with 28 (9+19), while Canadian Doug Clarkson is the 

leading goal scorer on 16 (16+10). 

The U20`s World Championships are coming up this month, 11th to 17th, in Budapest, 19yr old Tigers 

D man Corey Goodison will be joining the squad for the trip. 

Unfortunately the Tigers are the latest 

team to hit the hockey headlines. They 

appear to have been spending beyond 

their means with significant financial 

difficulties being revealed over the last 

few weeks. A very unsettling time for 

players and fans alike. There is a plan 

in development with interested parties 

to take the Tigers forward, with the 

end of November being crunch time. 

Fingers crossed that a resolution has 

or can be reached for them as a team 

and for their continued participation 

in the league. 

Whoever you are supporting tonight 

I hope you enjoy the game and have a 

safe journey home.

EPIHL ROUND UP 

SATURDAY .......... 

Bison take on MK in a penalty fuelled match. 

The opening 10 minutes saw both sides receive 

a minor penalty for delay of the game at 07.03, 

Basingstoke’s Roehl and Milton Keynes’ Bakrlik. 

Less than a minute later saw 4 more penalties 

for both sides, 8.22 for charging to Bison 

Captain Connolly and slashing to Griffin and 

then at 9.20 both sides got slashing penalties 

on Balmer and Bakrlik. At 14.32, Bison were the 

1st to get on the score board with a goal from 

Long assisted by Davies and Roehl. Just 53 seconds 

later Roehl and Bakrlik both received 2+2 

for slashing and roughing and that brought 

the 1st period to a close. The 2nd period saw 

the MK’s Baranyk score the equaliser on the 

powerplay after Roehl took a seat for high 

sticks. At 31.48, Long received an unusual call 

of attempted butt-ending and got 2+2+10 for 

his trouble but, even with the advantage, MK 

were unable to take the lead. The opening minute 

of the 3rd period saw Basingstoke take the 

lead once again with a goal from Thompson. 

More penalties were dished out - MK’ Jamieson 

for hooking, Emersic for boarding and Bakrlik 

for cross-checking and Basingstoke’s Reynolds 

received a 2+10 for checking to the head and 

Jarabek for delaying the game. The final goal 

of the evening was a short-handed goal in the 

final 27 seconds from Bison’s Jarolin – securing 

the win for Bison. Bison 3 – 1 MK. 

Last week’s shake up in the Guildford Flames 

camp seemed to have done the trick as they 

defeated the Phantoms at the Spectrum. 

Pliskauskas opened the scoring in the 3rd 

minute of the game to put Phantoms’ in front 

with a powerplay goal. Campbell equalised 

at 6.06, Savage followed up to put the Flames 

into the lead. Phantoms next goal, at 12.12, was 

short-handed goal, after Archer took a seat 

for slashing at 10.26, when Darge managed to 

take on the extra man unassisted and bury the 

puck past Skinns. The 2nd period saw Guildford 

extend their lead with a goal from Duggan 

but Phantoms replied, just over a minute later, 

when Levers found the net. The game winning 

goal came from Savage at 43.39 and, at 50.03, 

Maslonka secured the Flames win. Flames 5 – 3 

Phantoms. 

Tigers take the win against the Pirates. The 

Tigers took an early lead with a goal from 

Clarkson in the 4th minute, Weaver doubled 

their lead at 13.17 on the powerplay. The 2nd 

period saw Pirates find their way on to the 

scoreboard with a goal from Hewitt but Tigers 

responded at 25.42- just under a minute later, 

with a backhanded goal from Kolena. At the 

halfway point in the game, Clarkson struck 

again after a pinpoint pass from Satek. They 

ended the period with a 5-1 lead, after Plant 

scored on the breakaway at 35 minutes. The 

Pirates struck back just 24 seconds into the 3rd 

period on the powerplay, when Kolena took a 

break for 2+2 tripping and roughing. The Tigers 

didn’t let things lie and Heywood found 

the reply at 42.12. It was a similar scene just 

a few minutes later, when Themar closed the 

deficit but a hattrick goal from Clarkson kept 

the Tigers well out in front when the buzzer 

sounded. Hull 3 – 7 Telford. 

Swindon Wildcats left the Manchester Phoenix 

out in the cold at the Link Centre. The Wildcats 

opened up the scoring when Swedish import 

Hoog slid the puck around Fone and into the 

back of the net. At 11.52, the same trio – Liddiard, 

Birbraer and Hood – doubled the Wildcats’ 

lead when the Swede scored his 2nd of the 

night. The 2nd period saw the Phoenix battle 

back and they’re efforts paid off when Meidl 

passed the puck across the crease to Kovar 

who fired it past Lyle. Swindon reclaimed their 

2 goal advantage when Malasinski slid the 

puck to Hoog who scored his hattrick goal at 

36.47. The final period saw Swindon dominate 

the play but, at 44.50, at centering puck from 

22 


Meidl was turned at the top of the crease by 

Kovar to close the deficit to 1 goal. Manchester 

pulled Fone in the last minute of the game but 

couldn’t breach the Wildcats goal and the clock 

ran down. Swindon Wildcats 3 – 2 Manchester 

Phoenix. 

SUNDAY .......... 

Flames made the short journey to face off 

against the Bees and went home with 2 points 

from the Hive. The Bees outshot the Flames 35 

to 26 but were unable to find the equaliser to 

take the match to overtime. The 1st period saw 

Bracknell dominate play with Mettam only 

facing 1 shot and Skinns faced 16 but the Bees’ 

only managed to convert one last minute goal, 

at 19.15, when Barker set up Smital to open up 

the scoring. At 26.46, Guildford’s newest import 

Santavuori equalised the score and, just over 

10 minutes later, Pavlicek found a response 

for Bracknell to put them back in the lead. The 

3rd period saw a tough battle with Guildford 

leading the game and Maslonka tied the score 

at 46.57. The Bracknell Bees, who have really 

upped their game over the last few weeks, 

found a swift reply when Galazzi faced Skinns 

one-on-one and found the back of the net unassisted. 

Just 59 seconds later McKinney kept 

Guildford in the game by equalising the score 

once again. At 54.92, Galazzi and Lundin received 

penalties from unsportsmanlike conduct 

but despite efforts from both teams the 

clock ran down and the game headed into a 

scoreless overtime. It was Guildford that capitalised 

on the penalty shots and won the game. 

Bees 3 – 4 Flames. 

Telford Tigers defeat Basingstoke Bison. The 

first, and only goal for the Bison despite having 

14 shots on goal, was scored at 19.31 when 

Jarolin and Jarabek linked up to provide Connolly 

with the puck and slotted it home. The 

2nd period saw Bison creating several chances 

but Gospel managed to deflect each and every 

one and it was the Tigers who scored the next 

goal to close the 2nd period neck-and-neck. 

Telford’s Kolena took advantage of the powerplay, 

when Balmer took a seat for slashing, 

and set the puck flying past Hiadlovsky at 

38.22. The Tigers dominated play in the 3rd 

period and 2 even handed goals within 12 seconds 

secured them the win. The game winning 

goal was credited to Hill with assists going to 

Weaver and Tait and Telford’s 3rd goal saw 

Plant set up Kolena at 48.29. Tigers 3 – 1 Bison. 

Hull Pirates suffered their 2nd defeat of the 

weekend after they were shut out by the Peterborough 

Phantoms. This game saw an 

equal encounter as both netminders faced 

a total of 30 shots each, but it was Phantoms 

that had the edge. This match was an intense 

battle which left fans on the edge of their seat 

through a goalless 1st and 2nd period. Despite 

both teams receiving penalties, like Watt’s 2 

minutes for roughing, neither was able to capitalise 

on the powerplay opportunities. The 3rd 

period saw the 1st goal of the evening for the 

Phantoms, at 50.03, when Griffiths and Darge 

linked up to provide the puck to Robert Ferrara 

who put it behind Marr. At 51.04, Hull’s star 

player, Themar, was called for checking to the 

head and received 2+10. Phantoms’ Towner 

followed Themar into the sin bin at 53.21 but 

Pliskauskas managed to find his way past 

Marr for a short-handed goal. At 59.44, Captain 

Salem was called for game interference 

and the match came to an end. Phantoms 2 – 0 

Pirates. 

Milton Keynes Lightning celebrated a penalty 

shoot out win against the Swindon Wildcats. 

The Lightning’s opening minutes were costly 

as penalties on Bakrlik, for elbowing, and Griffin, 

for slashing, meant that Birbraer was able 

to take advantage of the 5 on 3. The Lightning 

managed to find the equaliser when they were 

awarded a delayed penalty, after Whitfield 

was called for holding, courtesy of Griffin. Milton 

Keynes pulled in to the lead at 23.26 when 

Farn feed Hook the puck and scored. A bench 

penalty was called against the Wildcats for 

abuse of an official and a game interference on 

Chamberlain bought the 2nd period to a close. 

A goalless 3rd period, which saw a 2+10 given 

to Wildcats’ Taylor for a check to the head, 

meant the game headed in to a scoreless overtime. 

The penalty shoot out saw the first 5 skaters 

fail to find the net and it was Assistant Captain 

Chamberlain who managed to seal the 

deal for the Lightning. Lightning 3 -2 Wildcats.
