Great Britain were beaten 3-1 by Italy in Riga this lunchtime in a warm-up game ahead of the Women’s World Championship Division I Group B which gets under way this weekend.
GBSC would like to send our thoughts and condolences to the family, friends and team-mates of Nottingham Panthers forward Adam Johnson who passed away last night following a freak accident in their game at Sheffield Steelers.
Congratulations to former Great Britain international Colin Shields who has been awarded an MBE in the King’s Birthday Honours List for his services to ice hockey.
