Fife Flyers' fundraiser to support health service

Fife Flyers have relaunched a popular match night event to help raise funds for key organisers.

The ice hockey club is to stage two ‘Shirt Off The Back’ raffles online – the first to support the NHS in Fife, and the second for CHAS, its’ long-standing charity partner.

The competition is usually staged on match nights, with the winner getting the shirt straight off a player’s back.

Flyers had two jerseys available after the abrupt cancellation of the 2019-20 season and the loss of their last home games.

This week they are offering fans the chance to win the shirt worn by defenceman, James Isaacs, with all proceeds going to the NHS Fife Endowment Fund.

It runs until Friday when a winner will be drawn.

The second raffle – to be staged next week – will be in aid of CHAS, and will feature a jersey worn by defenceman, Sam Jones.

Tickets cost £1 and full details are available in the link below:
