Southampton Spitfires - Ice and inline hockey

History

Background

The club was set up as an Inline hockey club a few years back by a group of students that have long since left the university. Since the team began, it has completed several seasons in the BRHA league and a number of seasons in the GB Inline league.

In the 2005/6 season the club entered into the BUIHA 2nd division where the best of the British university Ice Hockey squads compete.

Since then the Ice team has advanced into the BUIHA first division, achieving a semi-final place in the annual tournament and are planning to have two ice hockey teams for the season 2007/8, divisions 1st and 2nd.

We have now left the BRHA league and instead entered two teams in GBInline in the 2007/8 season.
