The cameras will make their only scheduled visit to Kirkcaldy – a rink which hosted live coverage with BBC Grandstand’s film crews regularly during the heyday of the Heineken era in the 1980s – on Wednesday, February 27 when Belfast Giants are the visitors.
The coverage will be anchored by Aaron Murphy, well known to hockey fans for his previous work with EIHL action.
As well as showing a live game every second week, FreeSports will broadcast a highlights show every week as either a stand alone programme or as part of the live game coverage.
