The Seagulls begin their defence of the Howies UK ice hockey summer classic this Sunday against rink rivals the Blackburn Buccaneers.

Wyre go into this game undefeated in cup games since the opening game of last seasons competition and will be looking to continue that run this weekend against the Buccaneers. With both teams being based at Blackburn, the teams know each other well and the seagulls will be taking nothing for granted against the buccs, who are former playoff finalists in this competition.

It’s sure to be a great game so if you’re in the area come down and cheer on the guys. Face off is 6pm at Blackburn
