kicked-oil on Saturday 7. Consisting of ten teams, the League involves each
team playing the other nine on a home and away basis. twice. with the top six
progressing to the play-oils, which take
place seven months later. at the end of March. As regards the contingent of Scottish sides in the League. it is. even at this late stage. not particularly easy to say how many will be competing. From last year‘s tour (Ayr Bruins, Murraytield Racers. File Flyers. and Tayside Tigers), the Tigers are struggling to tind a rinkto play their home ties— and the Bruins have changed their name to Ayr Raiders. The situation facing the Tigers is currently very much hanging in the
outotthelinal stages otlastseasoii‘s play-offs. torthe tirsttime since the PremierDivision began. some six years ago. They now seem most concernedtotighten uptheirdelence this season. judging bythe recent tough talking ottheir coach, Leo Koopmans. during the pre—season Norwich Union Cuptournament.
For some years, the Scottish scene has been dominated either by the
Racers and occasionally the Flyers, but in their new colours of white. black and
silver, the Raiders side will obviously be hoping tor success on the ice to accompany the obviously satisfying developments which are taking place ollit. (Mike Wilson)
