Get ready for a weekend of Scottish National League ice hockey, with four thrilling games set to unfold across the ice. Here’s a look at what’s in store:
Kilmarnock Thunder’s Double Header: Kilmarnock Thunder is gearing up for a full weekend, starting with a showdown against the Dundee Comets at home on Saturday. The stakes are high as both teams have had a strong start, each with 6 points to their name. Leading the league at the start of the season, Thunder will be looking to regain their winning form with a potential 6-point weekend. They are only 2 points behind Aberdeen Lynx and Kirkcaldy Kestrels, who are currently sitting at the top of the table on 8 points.
Thunders game against Dundee Comets is sure to be a close one. These two teams haven’t met this season yet but both have played 5 league games and both have 6 points. Comets have won 3 out of their 5 league games this season and after taking home 2 pieces of silverware last year they will be looking to replicate last year’s successes.
Kirkcaldy Kestrels vs. North Ayrshire Wild: League leaders Kirkcaldy Kestrels are set to host North Ayrshire Wild on Saturday. After a dominant 10-3 victory against Wild last weekend, Kestrels are looking to maintain their top spot with another commanding home performance.
Paisley Pirates vs. Edinburgh Capitals: The Paisley Pirates will be making their way east to Murrayfield to take on the formidable Edinburgh Capitals. Capitals have had a perfect record this season, winning all three of their SNL games. While the Capitals triumphed over the Pirates in the Scottish Cup 1/4 finals, there’s only a single point separating these two in the league standings. Expect an intense game as these two teams vie for supremacy.
With significant points on the line and the league table so tightly contested, this weekend promises to bring more surprises and potentially significant changes in the Scottish National League. Ice hockey fans can look forward to a thrilling weekend as the Scottish ice hockey season heats up.
