The IW
Junior Ice Hockey Club was established in 1991 after the Canadian
ice hockey player Dan Sweeney put ice hockey and the IW Raiders on the
map. A number of parents and ex-players got together to form the nucleus
of the Club with half a dozen children of mixed ages. A year later an
under 10's team was entered into the English Ice Hockey Association (EIHA)
Southern League, playing games through-out the south of England. Although
unable to win a game, the children enjoyed the game so much, win or lose,
they came back for more. |
