What is the Magnum’s future

It appears that plans to close the Magnum are on hold. This article states that talks between council and health board management have broken down.

Is Auchenharvie still being redeveloped or will the revamped magnum replacement now have an ice rink? The good news is that whatever happens the Magnum closing date will probably be pushed back. :-)

* Scottish Ladies currently train at the Magnum Leisure Centre in Irvine.


Hockey Camp in Dundee running today.

My sister just called to say that the camp is awesome and the coach’s are great. She is physically exhausted but there is a mix of on & off ice activities to allow recovery time.
Dundee is also a great rink and I’d rather be there than at work today.


Dundalk tournament cancelled and rink also closed

Scottish Ladies couldn’t make it to the Dundalk tournament and because of this the tournament was cancelled.  In a twist of fate the rink now appears to be shut due to technical problems.

Womens_School_of_Excellence 12th July 2010.doc

The poster for the school can be seen on the Scottish Ice Hockey website here.

Dumfries Ice rink is shut for renovation but that is where the school of excellence is based. The poster and document both mention Dumfries and this can be a little confusing

The school in July is at Dundee Ice Arena. It is £70 and runs from 09:00 to 18:15.


Lets get started

The site is here to try and pull together women’s ice hockey in Scotland and Scottish women who play ice hockey here and abroad.

There are currently

  • Girls playing in Junior teams across Scotland
  • Women playing in Recreational teams across Scotland
  • Women and girls playing for the Scottish Ladies ice hockey club/team
  • Scottish women and girls playing in English Women’s leagues
  • Scottish women and girls playing Outside of the UK.

There does not appear to be much connecting these groups together and we are hoping that this website can help. Let us know how to help.

So how long have Scottish women been playing Ice Hockey.
Honestly we don’t know.

Allegedly:

  • There was a Dundee womens team probbaly late 80’s early 90’s
  • Paisley Penguins womens team from 91 to 96
  • Paisley Scorpions from 96 to ???
  • Caledonian hellcats 19??
  • Scottish Ladies (Magnum)  2004ish to present.

If you know the acurate facts and want to send some details, piccies, anecdotes etc… then contact us.
