Nottingham's need to see a winning hockey team was greater than ours.

I’ve always wondered that. I did read a few years ago that Sheffield arena didn’t have the right facilities to host a competitive international event. No showering facilities or something like that?? Could be completely wrong though of course. :D

I guess Nottingham will still have ice down from the playoffs too.

Little Ball of Hate is the nickname for Brad Marchand, the Boston winger, after whom our wonderful contributor has named their avatar.
And, true to form, Marchand is well known for being antagonistic - hence the nickname.

If you have to explain 'em...😁
