Great Britain defenceman Mark Richardson says next week’s games against Norway can be a stepping stone for next year’s World Championship.
GB will host the Division 1B tournament in Belfast’s SSE Arena in April 2017, as they look to secure promotion to Division 1A.

Nottingham Panthers forward Robert Lachowicz says he is looking forward to seeing how Great Britain fare against a “world-class” outfit next week.
GB face Norway – who are ranked 11th in the world – at Nottingham’s National Ice Centre next Tuesday 1st November (7:30pm) and again the following night in Ice Arena Wales in Cardiff (7:30pm).

Great Britain have named their squad for the upcoming international matches against Norway in Nottingham and Cardiff.
The two sides will meet at the National Ice Centre in Nottingham on Tuesday 1st November (7:30pm).
They will then go head-to-head again the next evening in Cardiff’s Ice Arena Wales, on Wednesday 2nd November (7:30pm).

Ice Hockey UK chairman Richard Grieveson has taken a number of positives from the partnership approach adopted between the governing body and EIHL in organising and promoting the two forthcoming international games between Great Britain and Pool A nation Norway.
