In the Box Thinking 12 – Guildford Flames vs Glasgow Clan 9/11/25 Already? One game weekends are a blessing and a curse, especially when the game is on a Sunday. As the father of an 8 year old for whom being rambunctious would be a downgrade, having Saturdays fre…

In the Box Thinking 10 – Guildford Flames vs Sheffield Steelers 29/10/25 I’m a big believer that context is king. It pays to be aware of what’s going on in the world around you at the best of times but one of the things that getting older has taught me is th…

Bit late but the 5th thing from BOTW this week is here.

A rough night in Guildford and finding the line between fun and inappropriate.

In the Box Thinking 9 – Guildford Flames vs Belfast Giants 26/10/25 Highlights below

🚨BACK IN THE BOX🚨

Arguably the most entertaining game at the Spectrum of the season so far.

Not a perfect game from either side, but one that sent pulses racing.

Guildford and Belfast get the In the Box Thinking treatment

Running with the Herd – Bison vs Peterborough Phantoms 25/10/25 “These days will come again”. And, dear reader, they did.

🚨THE WAIT IS OVER🚨
RUNNING WITH THE HERD IS BACK!

For the first time since 9th April 2023, Basingstoke Bison played at home. A long road ended and another begins.

Also Peterborough look alright.

One team short benched
One team short of outcomes

Injuries, league and cup clashing, a Beyblade reference in 2025 and playing with foundation and swagger.

When Jake Witkowski joined the Deeside Dragons, people were surprised. However Jake's journey is much more than that.

Hockey in Boston, titles in Leeds and his new life and role in North Wales.

I figured I'd ask you both given your respective proclivity for remembering such things.

Swindon Wildcats 2 in our third tier have announced two father/son pairs to the roster for the season

Dear @ladyjenpool.bsky.social @scottywazz.com

To your knowledge, has a senior team in an organised hockey league ever had two father and son pairings on the same team, at the same time?

Team in our third tier has announced signings of two father/son pairings. Unsure if it has happened before

Today is the last day of June, usually Pride Month for folk.

To any folk of the LGTBQIA+ community who have supported and backed BOTW in anyway, the message is the same whatever the day.

Be who you are
Solidarity, always 🏳️‍🌈🫡✊️

🚨#HOCKEYSTORIES RETURNS!🚨

It caused a bit of confusion when the news broke. Many didn't understand it. Others theorised on the reasons. BOTW went and asked them.

The Whitley Warriors have joined the SNL. I sat down with GM Willie Dunn to find out why
