Hull Stingrays announced this week that they have signed Derek Campbell from the Sheffield Steelers. Campbell aka Soupy played with emotion last season and would do anything to to help his fellow team mates on the ice. Campbell has accumulated 253 points (90 goals and 163 assists) and 1089 penalty minutes in 264 regular-season and play-off games in the 5 years he played in the Elite League. I wish you luck Soupy and look forward to see you play against us!

Another loss now as Steelers forward Joey Talbot has announced that he will be retiring from the game. Joey has been with us for 4 seasons and brought total of 278 points to the team. This season he raked in 90 points, helping the Steelers win the Elite League title once again. Joey was a great asset to the team and will be missed by all!! Best of luck in the future Joey, be sure to come back and visit us!

I would like to talk about my NHL team the Pittsburgh Penguins for a minute as news has been announced that Super Star Max Talbot has left the Pens for the Philadelphia Flyers. Last season Talbot gained 21 points in 82 games and has an over point tally of 100 with the Pens. Max brought alot of character and charisma to the team and his personality will be missed by all in the Igloo. Good luck with the Flyers Max!

To end I would like to leave you with another date for your calendar!
On 15th - 17th July there is a charity hockey event at Ice Sheffield. 5 teams battle it out on the ice each playing to raise money for different charities; Breast Cancer Care, Dreams Come True, Help For Heroes, Sheffield Children's Hospital and Prostate Cancer Charity. Please come along and show your support.
