An electric atmosphere under the floodlights brought the hockey season to a memorable close, as players and spectators came together for the annual Friday Night Lights.

As Ryan Colman, Director of Hockey, put it: “Friday Night Lights is definitely one of the best events in the sporting calendar. The quality of hockey this year was at an all-time high, with some outstanding fixtures on display, and we went unbeaten on the evening.”
