WELCOME TO OUR CLUB!
S
utton Sting Ice Hockey Academy is a not-for-profit community ice hockey club
with a mission to provide local children with the opportunity to play ice hockey
in competitive national leagues from Under 9 all the way through to the English
National League once they reach adulthood.
The club was established in 2006 and is based at the Llamas Leisure Centre in Sutton
in Ashfield. In 2016 it was named the English Ice Hockey Association Club of the Year,
in recognition of its amazing achievements and committent to continuous development.
Today we have over 120 playing members, from age 3 to 50+, and have just completed
our most successful season ever.
The clubs objective is to Let Kids Play Ice Hockey. Physical development on the ice is
important to us, but anyone who has been through our programme will tell you that it’s
the life skills and memories that are much more important; Team work, competitiveness,
communication, independence, work ethic, leadership and tenacity are just some of the
traits that this physically demanding sport develops.
Our players, from all ages and backgrounds, are from across South Yorkshire, Derbyshire
and Nottinghamshire. The younger teams (U9, U11, U13 and U15) all skate from the
Lammas Rink at Sutton in Ashfield, while the older teams (U18, U20 and Seniors) are
based out of iceSheffield. They all compete in the English Ice Hockey Assoication (EIHA)
leagues weekly across the Midlands and North of England, and play in international
tournaments on an annual basis.
Last season the Sutton Sting senior team, made up of local amateur players and Sting
graduates, won the Laider Division and with it promotion to the second tier of English
Ice Hockey.
This achievement means for the 2018/19 season starting in September they’ll be
facing semi-professional teams and playing in front of large crowds every week, with
increased media interest.
We are committed to keep on building our fantastic hockey club and providing
local people the opportunity to play ice hockey. We hope you can help.
