2010 Home Opener against the Penrith Bears
Finally the BANQ Ice Dogs, coming off a tough road skid, are playing back at home with a classic rivalry to0 good to miss at home this Saturday Night May 15th at the LCC Sports Complex, 5:00pm.
“We have showed at times over the last four games what we can do and that we have a good hockey team here, so we are looking forward to finding some form this weekend and get things going” says defenceman Tomas Manco.
The Penrith Bears will be missing two imports due to suspension and the BANQ Boys are looking for their first win of the season to get some momentum for when Melbourne comes to town on Sunday night May 16th.
It looks like Andrew White will be playing forward similar to the line up for Newcastles game last Sunday. “Andrew used to play forward and played forward overseas when playing Junior (under 20s) in Canada, so he gives us a bit more depth up front” explains Coach Mark Stephenson. “With around 8 defenceman of which two to three of them can play forward quite well, we had to move someone up front, but you will still see Whitey [Andrew White] back there from time to time on defence”.
The Home Opener is proudly sponsored by EA Sports NHL 10′ and will be the raffle prize on the night.

hey scotty or admin, are the fans allowed to stand behind the goals like i witnessed in canberra? being that close while feeling the ice spray over me was good,might have to if we pack out the rink,or is there some sort of ohs issue with it being netting only?
May 14th, 2010 at 1:14 am
hey johnno,
that should actually be encouraged! no oh&s issues that i have heard of and i don’t think fans know that it’s an option. hey, it’s the best seat in the house isn’t it? apart from where i’ll be in the scorers box
but even still, it feels awesome being that close to the action and i hope you guys remember to make use of it this weekend.

top idea johnno why didnt i think of that
i think that might have to be the home of the dog pound!!!
yeah nothing better then getting sprayed by ice while sparing the oppersition players with sleding
May 14th, 2010 at 6:49 pm

May 14th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
cam, dog pound t-shirts wont be ready for another week,the guy is finally out of hospital but we might look for someone else if these dont last,anyone know of a screen printer that will do shirts?
May 14th, 2010 at 9:15 pm
Hey Guys,
Our sponsor PHA does screenprinting. You should give them a call.
May 14th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
P.S. As long as you aren’t right up against the netting you can stand behind it. It would be great if you guys were behind one of the nets!
May 18th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
