Watching Hockey in the World’s BIGGEST Football City 

I normally, don’t talk about this publicly but given it may help some people I’ll mention it here. During my time working for an organization we unfortunately lost two players, teammates that were just incredible human beings, who had their whole lives in front of them. After, one of their passings the institution set up emergency therapy sessions for anybody involved with the team. This isn’t something I would usually take part in but I decided to go. I was experiencing a lot of guilt for feeling as bad as I did about their passing, given guys on the team were much closer to him than me. The therapist left me with this piece of advice, “Just because someone broke their arm, doesn’t mean the pain you’re feeling from stubbing your toe isn’t real.” Made me realize that our feelings are always valid, and if you feel like you may benefit from talking to somebody please do. We’re not meant to go through this life by ourselves. I hope I can continue to bring some joy into your days with these videos and, in the meantime, stay best kind. - Robert

i've been a storm fan all my life, and have a jersey signed by the whole roster. they're a great bunch of lads.

I'd love to see you come over and see the rest of the teams! I'm personally a Belfast Giants fan, thank you for covering our league. I hope to see it continue to grow

Nice tribute to Adam Johnson In terms of sports in Manchester. In the early days before they reformed Storm played in the cities main indoor arena and broke the European attendance record ( over 17000) . It's a bit of shame about the current arena, it's small and not particularly well set out or maintained.

Fantastic job. I have been watching Storm since 95. I just wish you could’ve been there to see our first few years at Nynex (now Manchester arena). 16,000 Storm fans sending the arena wild at its peak. Amazing memories.

R.I.P Adam Johnson you were great buddy. Love you.❤🪦

Best UK hockey game to watch is Sheffield steelers vs Nottingham panthers big rivals and the atmosphere is some of the best uk hockey has to offer. They both have amazing fan base I’m a panthers fan myself but Steelers are on another level atm. Top vid once again Robert and very thoughtful for adam jhonson 🙏❤

Glad you enjoyed your time in Manchester. I was there for that game (as I am every week) and was good to see that empty net goal again from a new angle. You're right about CJ, even in a team of really nice lads, he stands out, lovely bloke

Sheffield Steeler's, Saturday nights !😃

Great video, thanks for bringing some coverage to the EIHL. Hope you enjoy your time in Manchester

Love your videos, keep them coming! Need inspiration for my trip to Europe! Great work as always

Very thoughtful intro. Enjoyed the vid. Interesting to see the calibre of hockey in England. Looks pretty good. Thanks.

Glad you enjoyed your trip, and lovely tribute to Adam Johnson. Highly recommend going to Sheffield. They're top of the league by a mile, and their arena is nice. BYW, what was your verdict on the Yorkie bar?

loving the video, it is a tragic acident that happens to AJ 47 was at the game when it happened will never forget it. i know nottingham is retiering the number 47 but not sure if all Elite leagues in teh UK are. keep up the good video. good games to watch int the UK are steelers v panthers ( sheffield v nottingham).

love your content, envy the euro hockey trips i want to go on one so BAD. Keep up the great work

You have to see the cardiff devils like its a must you will be amazed of how great it is there

I urge you to go to a mk lightning game in the nihl especially vs Peterborough (rivalry) I’ve been to games on the eihl and I didn’t feel it compared

You should visit the danish League… a lot canadian players too

What’s your opinion on brandon whistle? His brother plays here in Belfast!

W video I live in UK but I like hockey

Hey buddy, i love your videos. Come to germany to the Straubing Tigers and enjoy the best fans in Germany. Playoffs start in two weeks 🎉🎉

Back in the day they used to sell out the Manchester Arena

You need to come over to leeds knights who also rival whith football

Come and watch Blackburn Hawks!!!!

My home rink😍

Im an original storm fan and i remember back to 99 where storm won the league, man utd won the treble, City had that famous win in decision 2 play off & Manchester Gients finish 2nd in the basketball league. That time Manchester was really a sporting city we also have a big cricket following to. Although i followed the storm when they were reformed i got bored of the rink the prices and the ambitions of rhe owners. Storm is still a big name in Manchester but the way the club advertise is not taking advantage of this and only really doing things in Alt rather than greater Manchester. I hope they get a new arena soon as was a temp rink built in the early 00s and is still being used now. If the new rink comes and its got good views and ticket prices are at a reasonable price for the rink they should definitely see growth but they also need to look at getting higher up in the league too. That said great to see Storm and uk ice hockey get some videos and attention. Its not the best standard of hockey but its definitely a fun spot to watch and amazing for family's.

Didn't show the other player with Critchlow that co-stared in that Mr D scene, wonder what happened to that kid

I used to play at Alty

Have you been to belfast yet?

Next time you're in the UK you should watch the Guildford Flames, fastest team in the EIHL.

I see myself in your video 😅

❤

Get yourself over to Belfast to watch the Belfast Giants 👌

RIP AJ…

MANCHESTER STORM 🐐

If anyone is curious how and when it started... Episdoe 226 of 2 Ales and Hockey Tales with Wally Cameron Critchlow ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0Hmln3qYwi4.html Fun is fun... winning is fun. I'm his sponsor now

as you’ve seen the UK hockey community is pretty small compared to a lot of countries so the death of Adam Johnson hit every fan hard no matter who they support. very sensitively done intro and another great video highlighting our league

Does Yorkie still say "not for girls" on the package?

Boo Manchester, Go Sheffield!

Love your videos but in our side of the world it’s called soccer

It is a shame that Ice Hockey gets looked over in the UK, but people like you help to show this scene for what it really is, Keep up the amazing work. AJ#47 🖤💛🏒
