MINI MATCH PREVIEW

It’s our Valentine’s game day on Friday 10^th February, for an action-packed evening on and off the ice! For more information on our Valentine’s game go here.

We face the Sheffield Steeldogs for the final time of the season on home ice this Friday, as we look to make it 9 wins from 9 games against them.

It may be a Valentine’s game, but we have a feeling there will be no lost, in a game that is a replay of the National Cup Semi-Final, where we sailed past the Steeldogs 10-5 on aggregate.

You can join us for Friday’s game by getting your tickets here.

ONES TO WATCH

The Ones to Watch for the Sheffield Steeldogs is: #21 Alex Graham. The young Brit has split his time this season with two different Sheffield outfits, as he has donned the Sheffield Steelers jersey 8 times so far, logging two assists in the process.

The 20-year-old was born in Sheffield, and has played out of iceSheffield from 2018 onwards, and at the NIHL level he as performed at a 1.68 points per game pace. This season though, he’s having a career year, after scoring 28 times and grabbing 31 assists he sits at 59 points, which is 7 points more than his previous record, in an impressive 12 less games.

In addition to his scoring, Alex is a big presence on the ice physically, and he’s not afraid of making physical plays.

The Morley Glass Leeds Knights ones to watch this week is… #7 Thomas Barry.

Our most recent signing on the defensive front is none other than Sheffield-born 25-year old.

Barry has been steady at the back since his arrival with the Knights in December, rarely putting a foot wrong and making simple, smart plays.

Not only has Tom been impressive in the D-zone, but he has also come up with some massive assists, and goals, to help us to some big wins. Including an important assist in his debut game, on a game-tying goal against the Peterborough Phantoms, a game-tying goal from the slot away in Sheffield.

In the NIHL as we know it, Barry is also having a career year, with 3 goals and 5 assists in 8 league games, he has tied his previous high of 1 goals and 7 assists in 37 less games.
