A Coventry ice hockey club is set to bring a new sport to the city. The Honey Badgers- based at the Skydome Arena- are expanding to incorporate a sledge hockey team within their organisation. Working with the British Sledge Hockey Association, they aim to develop a sustainable programme which will secure investment and drive growth of the sport in Coventry.

Zac Chamberlain scores twice in 5-3 win v Sheffield

The Badgers haven't taken long to experience that winning feeling. In only their third competitive game, the Honey Badgers of Coventry took away their first victory, and are now 1-1-1 on the season after a draw v Cardiff Bay Lightning and an away loss to Cardiff Demons. Saturday night's affair at the Skydome saw a Badgers squad moving much closer to full strength, with Zac Chamberlain making his debut on the top line alongside Craig Newton and Chris Armstrong. The Badgers were missing Rich George and Hannah Bridges due to prior commitments, but also welcomed Martin Gemza on defence.
