After a long break the TSI World Bees Ice Hockey Club finally get back to hockey this weekend as they kick off their Spring Cup Campaign with a home and away weekend against the Swindon Wildcats.

The Wildcats opened the series last weekend playing against Sheffield Steeldogs but the Bees have enjoyed some good training sessions leading into their first weekend of the competition. There is a real positive feel in the ranks with everyone keen to get back to action.

You can watch Doug Sheppard’s Spring Cup Bees play at Swindon on Saturday picking up the Wildcats stream by clicking here https://swindonwildcats.com/tickets20-21/

On Sunday the Bees play their first game from their new home at Slough Ice Arena and streams can be purchased at https://beesicehockey.ticketco.events/uk/en/m. When clicking the link you can buy the streams individually but if you purchase all six Bees home game streams for the Spring Cup together you’ll get a discount equivalent to one game completely free.

All games in this competition will be played behind closed doors but that doesn’t mean missing out on all the experience. On Saturday you can enter Shirt Off The Back to win Ciaran Long’s game-worn road jersey. Tickets are just £1 and can be purchased online at https://raffall.com/199127/enter-raffle-to-win-shirt-off-the-back-hosted-by-bees-supporters-club. Tickets for this draw close at 4.30pm on Saturday.

On Sunday we’ll be running an online 50/50 and you can buy tickets for this via https://raffall.com/199709/enter-raffle-to-win-tsi-world-bees-ihc-5050-draw-hosted-by-bees-5050-draw but also you’ll be able to enter Shirt Off The Back for a chance to win Vanya Antonov’s home jersey. Tickets for Sunday’s draw are available via https://raffall.com/199124/enter-raffle-to-win-shirt-off-the-back-hosted-by-bees-supporters-club and tickets for Sunday’s draw will close at 3.30pm.

We, as a club, appreciate it’s been a long wait for our supporters to be able to get hockey back, and we also realise how frustrating it is that we cannot open the doors and allow you in to watch but we want to bring you the closest experience to being at the game. All our games, home and away, will be streamed, and our home game streams will feature the commentary of Graham Bell.

We know how popular our 50/50 and shirt off the back competitions have always been which is why we’ve strived so hard to replicate those in this virtual format.

The time is nearly here and we cannot wait. We’re looking forward to the weekend and knowing that you’re there with us virtually.
