Fife Arctic Foxes women’s team, slated to a 5-3 win over Dundee Royals, with a crowd of over 430 turning out to make it a night to remember.
The game showcased the new team and the opportunities it offers to women of all ages who want to take up ice hockey. It was also the first all female game, with a full female official squad, to be staged at the rink.
It was hugely entertaining and closely fought, and both sides earned warm applause for their performances.
The Arctic Foxes were launched last year, and the team has a solid core of players at its weekly Thursday evening training sessions.
They were launched after former Fife Flyers player Scott Plews, who runs Gloves Off across from the rink, and Gary Miller set up free training sessions with an invite to anyone to come and try the sport.
