The PCR Sports Show - Friday 18th August 2023 - The Ice Hockey Special with Scott Lambie from Peterborough Phantoms Juniors and Laura Brooks from Peterborough Phantoms Women · The PCR Sports Show

0:03
It's a starting a sporting weekend.
0:05
Stay tuned for an ice hockey special.
0:16
Welcome. To PCR Sports.
0:18
Good evening and welcome to the PCR Sports Show.
0:21
We're here with you every Friday, six to seven.
0:23
Myself, Dipham and Nilesh this evening and we've got some
0:26
wonderful guests in the studio with us.
0:28
Laura Brooks from the Peterborough Phantoms women's
0:30
side and Scott Lambie from the Peterborough Phantoms Juniors
0:34
amongst other things as well as you'll find out in a short while
0:37
there, so do stay tuned for an ice hockey special.
0:40
But first, as always, let's cover off this evening's
0:42
headlines. And yeah, she has those for us
0:45
this evening. Hi, Neil.
0:45
How are you? Yeah.
0:46
All good. Thank you.
0:47
Yeah. Been a good week for Posh, so
0:48
I'm happy Bunny this early has been, hasn't it?
0:50
Indeed, right. Let's cover off firm some of the
0:53
other sports happening in the city though.
0:54
First and foremost, and we'll start with athletics.
0:57
Peterborough and Nene Valley. A C's Kai Chilvers missed the
1:00
final race of the series at Fairy Meadows, having already
1:04
won the Peterborough 5K Grand Prix title.
1:07
Dave Hudson of Hunts A/C won the race in 15 minutes 17 seconds.
1:12
Ahead of Andrew Jakeman from March A/C and Aiden Lyden from
1:16
Hunts A/C who both recorded a time of 1520.
1:20
Lucy Maps of Hunts A/C has completely dominated the Ladies
1:25
series and ran a massive PB on the fast course, clocking a time
1:28
of 16 minutes and 51 seconds to win by over one minute 1 1/2
1:34
minutes. Marcelo Cracova of Hunts A/C was
1:38
runner up in 1828 with Stanford Strider Hannah rounds third in
1:42
1853 and to continue Hunts A C's domination.
1:46
Milo Gray has been too hot to handle all summer in the junior
1:49
3K races and pulled off another convincing win when he crossed
1:53
the finishing line in 9 minutes 33 seconds.
1:57
Hunts A/C runners took the top four places.
2:00
Esme Lyden, the sister of the 3rd place finisher in the Senior
2:03
race, made it an even better day for Hunts A.
2:06
As she was the First Lady home with a time of 10 minutes and 47
2:10
seconds, Bushfield jogger Brian Cawley's finished fourth in the
2:14
sleeve at 10K. The Autumn man was first in his
2:18
over 45 age group with a time of 3510 in Speedway and sadly
2:24
Peterborough Panthers dismal season continued with their 16th
2:27
defeat last night, this time succumbing to a 4842 defeat to
2:32
Sheffield Tigers. The only shining light of last
2:35
night's meeting was Chris Bomber Harris, who scored sixteen
2:38
points. Panthers do battle with the
2:41
Tigers again at the East of England Arena for the first time
2:44
this season on Monday, which is the 21st with with the tapes up
2:49
at 7:30. That's the second leg of their
2:52
round one tie which saw Sheffield build up as 3723 lead
2:57
before rain halted proceedings after 10 races at Sheffield last
3:01
month. In cricket, the top two in the
3:05
North Hunts Premier Division served up a classic contest at
3:08
Milton Rd. on Saturday. The game between Andal Town and
3:11
Brig Stock featured 2 superb centuries and a brilliant
3:14
finish, with the visitors taking a firm grip on the title race
3:18
after sneaking home by 1 wicket, it looked like the competitions.
3:22
Top All rounder Craig sorry Connor Craig had seized the
3:26
initiative for Andal by cracking a wonderful 138 to lead his side
3:30
to imposing 50 over score of 312 for 9:00.
3:35
But Andal Town hadn't reckoned on the aggressive brilliance of
3:38
city based former Peterborough Town player Mohammed Saif, who
3:42
scored 173 from just 121 balls to put Brig stock in the driving
3:47
seat. As a result, Brigstock are now
3:50
13 points clear of reigning champions finding at the top,
3:53
with Aundel, who haven't won any of their last four completed
3:56
games, a further five points behind in 3rd Peterborough, Town
4:01
of 4th, 35 points of top spot. But they do have the top three
4:05
still to play where they finish the league season with games at
4:08
Brigstock, travels to bottom side Old Northamptonians and
4:13
town visits an improving Kismbury temperance.
4:17
Briggstock are at home to Desborough with Findin at mid
4:20
table, Williston in the Lynx Premier League market deepen
4:24
were beaten by sleef, were beaten by Sleefford by 5
4:27
wickets. Deepings batting could only
4:29
muster 123 with Sleefford knocking off the runs in just 20
4:34
overs. Bourne also suffered A dismal
4:37
day with the bat 121 all out, which was easily reached by
4:41
Grantham with the loss of only two wickets inside 19 overs.
4:45
This weekend market Deeping travel to Grantham with Bourne
4:48
heading to Woodall Spa. Bourne's tilt at a hat trick of
4:51
titles took a knock as they were beaten by 25 runs by leaders
4:56
Linden, Peter Sports and football.
5:00
Peter Sports picked up a point at former manager Jimmy Jimmy
5:04
Dean's new club Scunthorpe United last Saturday and were
5:07
indebted to a fine penalty save from Peter Crook.
5:11
The turbines goal came from new summer signing Ben folks and on
5:16
Tuesday evening they made the trip to Alfreton and suffered
5:19
late heartache after considering a late winner to lose 21.
5:24
The sports goal came from Jordan Nicholson.
5:27
Sports are back in action this weekend at home at Pym's Park to
5:31
4th placed Spennymore Town and those are your sporting
5:35
headlines this week. Thank you.
5:36
Lots going on. Obviously started the football
5:39
season as well and got to give Posh a mention because it's been
5:43
a near perfect start for them, isn't it really?
5:44
Yeah, can't complain whatsoever. I'm sure all Posh fans are happy
5:47
with the results and hopefully the performances that have come
5:52
from them as well. Could win beating Charlton team
5:56
that strengthened well over the summer last week.
5:57
One nil hex Capriano with that goal on this on the strike of
6:01
half time And then. Tuesday night traveled up to
6:05
Barnsley who were in the playoff final last weekend last weekend
6:08
last summer. So again they had a point to
6:12
prove and Posh came away with A31 win after being one nil
6:15
down. So yeah, really good
6:16
performance. It seems like the posh's
6:18
performances and the cohesion of the team is getting better with
6:20
every game as well, isn't it? Yeah, that was definitely to be
6:23
seen on Tuesday night. Disjointed, perhaps, against
6:26
reading Swindon and Charlton, but certainly a lot more things
6:30
clicked into place. By no stretch of the imagination
6:34
was it perfect, and I don't think you'll ever get perfection
6:36
for 90 minutes in a game of football.
6:38
But certainly Tuesday night the players clicked and showed a
6:43
good test of their character after being one nil down after
6:46
50 odd minutes and to come back with three unanswered goals.
6:49
So, yeah, really encouraging on Tuesday night, absolutely.
6:51
And personally, when I've been listening to the commentary,
6:53
obviously now we broadcast the commentaries 3 posh plus, as you
6:56
all know, I think the player, one of the players that seems to
7:00
impress me most is is the new goalkeeper, Bilakovic.
7:03
And he's he's, he could turn out to be one of the best
7:07
poshkeepers they've had for many years.
7:08
Yeah, early days and I know social media certainly getting
7:12
carried away. One or two hopefully are keeping
7:14
their calm heads and I'm probably one of them.
7:16
He's yeah, he's played really well in the opening weeks of the
7:18
season, made some point blank saves.
7:21
He's been commanding in his box and.
7:25
In fairness to him, he's yeah, deserved the plaudits that he's
7:27
had so far, certainly joining a new club.
7:29
And it's good that he's a permanent signing of ours as
7:32
well and not a Loney exactly. And he's been rewarded with an
7:34
under 30. Under 23.
7:36
Yeah. Call up for his national side,
7:37
Yeah. For Australia.
7:38
So yeah, that's great news for him, perhaps not great news for
7:42
Posh. They'll probably miss the
7:44
Cheltenham at home game. I think is the September 11th
7:47
that you'll probably miss now, which is obviously a frustration
7:50
from a Posh perspective. But yeah, all credit to him that
7:53
he's being called up and he's certainly on Australia's radar.
7:56
Absolutely. And then looking ahead to
7:58
tomorrow's massive game, regional Derby, Northampton
8:01
Town. Yes indeed.
8:03
Doesn't get a lot bigger than that, no.
8:04
Maybe one other game will, but that's.
8:06
Yeah, but again, that depends on who you ask and that's very
8:09
generational. Again, you know, the younger
8:11
fans perhaps look at Cambridge as the rivals and perhaps the
8:15
older age group looks at Northampton and then you've also
8:18
got Lincoln as well this season. So yeah, massive game tomorrow.
8:21
I don't think it matters how we perform as long as we come away
8:24
from there with three points tomorrow and it's again about
8:26
playing the football, not the matches, not the opponent, so to
8:28
speak. As in, not the occasion.
8:30
Play the match, not the occasion.
8:31
Yeah, let the fans worry about the occasion itself and
8:34
hopefully the the squad that Darren puts out tomorrow and
8:37
certainly the 11:00 that will be starting, we'll hopefully, yeah,
8:42
worry about the game. Shall we stay on the pitch and
8:45
let the fans worry about the off the pitch stuff?
8:46
Absolutely. And as always, so we'll have the
8:49
commentary of Chris Dowser and obviously our very own Elesh
8:51
Patel from Posh, plus live on the show tomorrow starting at
8:55
2:00 PM with PCR Sports Special Rights.

10:50
Friday, six to seven with myself, Dipham and new lecture.
10:54
We're here for the local and regional, sporting, whatever
10:58
clubs, people, individuals. And tonight is no difference at
11:01
all. We've got from Peter of Phantoms
11:03
like Ice Hockey club. We've got Laura Brooks from the
11:05
women's side and Scott Lambie from The Phantoms Juniors.
11:10
Good evening, both of you. Scott, how are you?
11:12
Good evening. Yeah, very well.
11:13
Thank you. Good, good.
11:14
Laura. How are you?
11:15
I'm. Well as well.
11:16
Thank you. Good, good.
11:17
Before we continue with Scott, I know we've got a lot to talk
11:19
about. Laura, just wanted to say one
11:21
thing to you. That's for you.
11:40
Laura Brooks, happy birthday to you.
11:42
Thank you. Much appreciated.
11:43
I remembered from our conversation yesterday in prep
11:45
for this show, and you're obviously out celebrating after
11:48
this. Yes, yeah.
11:48
Going for an ice meal, been and done go out today.
11:50
So yeah, lots of activities. Not on the ice today though.
11:53
That's OK. That's all right.
11:54
So, well, good. Good of you to join us and thank
11:56
you. Obviously on your birthday.
11:57
So brilliant. Right, Scott, let's come back to
12:00
you. You're from the junior side of
12:04
the club, but I did read off your e-mail signature.
12:07
You've got some multiple roles. You are you are Phantom's
12:12
Registration Secretary, the Under 10s and Under Twelves
12:15
Manager, Head of Hockey Excellence and the Club Chair.
12:18
Yes, correct. I'm glad I got that right.
12:21
Chair new this year. Yeah.
12:23
Wow. So let's start with some of
12:25
those roles and obviously I guess you you're on here
12:29
representing Phantom's junior, so I just, I would like to guess
12:33
under 10s under twelves is is probably one of your most
12:35
focused areas of what you do it. Is very focused, especially like
12:38
we were discussing earlier COVID hit.
12:42
We lost numbers from the club for various reasons but we're
12:45
just building that back up at the bottom end now, so 34 of my
12:50
last count of under 10s and we've got a main task of
12:54
building up to 5050 players this year.
12:57
So just to try and get two teams working through the Academy at
13:00
all age groups again, yes, I must.
13:03
I think we were talking about it before we came on the air
13:05
earlier, weren't we? That COVID has hit a lot of
13:08
clubs. Certainly it's sort of what
13:11
you'd probably term grassroots level or that kind of
13:14
development area and you know we might see a knock on effect of
13:17
that in terms of missing development opportunities for
13:20
younger and up and coming players or participants in any
13:22
sport now. Yeah, definitely.
13:24
The governing body, the BIHI have recognized this fact as
13:27
well and they're trying to lay on additional development camps
13:31
for that age group that were missing out on their hockey due
13:34
to COVID. Yeah.
13:35
So, so hopefully obviously things can work out and and and
13:39
it'll be be okay, but it's something to obviously be
13:41
concerned about and to focus on, isn't it to to try and overcome
13:44
it. So, OK, so going back to in
13:47
terms of your role, your manager of the under 10s and under
13:49
twelves, So what does that entail in what are your, what
13:53
are your sort of daytoday duties?
13:55
I wear hearing aids for a reason.
13:58
It's very loud in them changing rooms, especially the under 10s.
14:02
But yeah, so I'm back to under 10s this year.
14:05
In my first year I was under 10s.
14:06
Manager went to under twelves with my.
14:09
I followed my child through the age groups but.
14:14
General day-to-day stuff is arranging away games, home
14:17
games. I get the privilege of taking a
14:20
kit home and washing that. I've got a bit of an OCD where I
14:24
have to hang it out, especially on the on the washing line in a
14:28
particular order which my wife doesn't like, but the kits love
14:33
it. Is that number order or what's
14:34
the ousty order? I'm curious now.
14:36
It's logo facing and then it has to be a number, but we've got a
14:40
line on our jersey and that has to be.
14:43
You folded over the line and pegged.
14:45
Yeah, fantastic. Yeah, bit of an OCD.
14:48
No, that's fine. That's for sport.
14:50
I'll tell you what, sports part. People who play sport, and I've
14:52
been the same in the past, you're full of I OCD and sort of
14:56
superstitious. Yeah, I think I'll put on, you
14:59
know, playing cricket and I have to put my left pad on first
15:01
before my right, for example. So, and I'm sure you get that
15:04
when you've played the game as well, that's.
15:06
It right. Skate first, yeah.
15:08
Yeah. So completely with you on that,
15:11
yeah. So the other, yeah, the other
15:13
rolls under 10s especially, is making sure the kits safe and
15:16
secure because a lot of the kids, you know, we range from
15:19
four years to 10 under 10s level and they can't get themselves
15:24
up. So we just make sure they're
15:25
safe before they go on the ice. Laces, yeah, I've got lever
15:29
hands now from doing shit boot laces up constantly.
15:35
Yeah, so. So it's basically looking after
15:37
getting them prepped and ready to to play effectively.
15:39
So do you get involved in any of the coaching and that's I am an
15:43
assistant coach. I passed my course couple of
15:46
months back. I was always a helper on the
15:49
ice, just clearing out the Nets just to make sure that the
15:51
drills kept flowing properly just so the kids didn't have any
15:55
standing around time just to keep it flowing.
15:58
But yeah, coaching wise, I leave the main coaching to the head
16:01
coaches, you know, their ex players, etcetera, etcetera,
16:04
but. I help out and Do you play
16:08
yourself or have you played yourself?
16:09
I do play myself. I've been skating for around a
16:13
year and that was purely because I was trying to tell my kids,
16:18
you know, what the best way was. And their basic answer was,
16:22
well, you don't play, so how do you know?
16:26
So I thought, yeah, I'd best get on the ice and try and learn
16:28
myself, yeah. Yeah, around about 1218 months
16:32
ago I I started to try and play and it's still a case of trying
16:36
to play. It's a very hard sport, yeah, I
16:39
can imagine because when we've had previous representatives
16:41
from the club it's, you know, if you want to play cricket, for
16:44
example, then you're playing cricket.
16:46
In terms of it's a sport, football is a sport.
16:48
You play football, but with ice hockey you've got to learn to
16:51
play hockey as well as learn to skate, haven't you?
16:53
That's kind of two disciplines you have to master to to play
16:56
one sport effectively. Yeah, I think at the younger age
17:00
group, it's a case of when they've got a stick and park in
17:03
front of them, they forget what their feet are doing.
17:07
But when you're 6 foot two, I do worry what my feet are doing
17:10
because if they go from underneath me.
17:12
Oh, we bum be on ice. Bum be on ice tonight.
17:15
Yeah. Yes, kids.
17:17
Have got No Fear? No, no, of course, of course.
17:20
So obviously got under 10s and under twelves.
17:22
Is that the only age groups that are in the junior section?
17:25
No. So we got under 10s, twelves,
17:27
under fourteens, sixteens and eighteens, right.
17:29
OK. And what's the reason for sort
17:31
of skipping years if you know, I mean is it because it gives
17:33
A-Team a task to develop over 2 years period or how's that?
17:37
Yeah, I don't know the real reason.
17:39
No, I know it changed a few years ago because it used to be
17:42
nines. It used to be odd numbers,
17:44
nines, elevens, thirteens. But they've changed it up to the
17:48
ICD. Went to even numbers, yeah.
17:50
And I I think it's because it's, you know, it's not a wide sport
17:55
across the country. In terms of participation
17:57
numbers, so you need to have those bigger age groups, I guess
18:00
in that way instead of 1011 and 12, you'd have smaller numbers
18:04
and then you might as group them together and they can develop
18:07
together as well through the age groups then, I guess.
18:08
Yeah, which was. Especially the under 12, you
18:10
know we have to I-17 players in total at least we have to go
18:16
with that bench, so. If we just stay at the age
18:19
group, we wouldn't reach that and no club would.
18:22
To be fair, yeah, and at junior level, is it mixed gender hockey
18:26
or is it still split into male, female?
18:28
Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. And then what's the what's the
18:31
kind of program or the pathway for them heading towards adult
18:34
hockey and then what how's that opportunity then come along
18:36
their way? So in general, if any of the
18:39
children players show dedication, hard work, they've
18:43
got good, good chance of making seniors hockey.
18:47
This year in particular, we've got 6/6 juniors that are all
18:51
playing senior ice hockey, whether it's with Phantoms 2 or
18:54
Phantoms 1. Yep.
18:57
And then obviously we've got the English National GB and we have
19:04
showcase events, which is like your trials for England.
19:08
So I think yeah, we took thirteen players to showcase.
19:12
From that 10 was selected for England.
19:15
And we had free GB selections as well, all from the Paper Club.
19:19
So there's role models effectively as they've gone on
19:21
through the age groups, there's role models that the younger
19:24
kids can aspire to be as well. And know there's that career
19:28
progression is, so to speak, whether you're in the men's side
19:30
or even the women's side as well.
19:31
And you've got that pathway for when eventually it does split
19:35
that. You know, there's opportunities
19:37
for boys and girls to be playing hockey into their adulthood as
19:40
well. Yeah obviously with the girls
19:42
they obviously would go on to Laura's side of things and but
19:46
they they can stay in the juniors up until the under
19:48
eighteens group so and go on full time to women's senior
19:52
hockey. Fantastic.
19:54
And what kind of commitment does it take for for a youngster if
19:56
they are interested in playing hockey?
19:58
What sort of time commitment, you know, in terms of training
20:01
and obviously equipment requires?
20:04
Equipment, yeah, that's obviously it's a little bit
20:06
expensive, but obviously due to the nature of the sport, the
20:09
kids have got to be safe. So there's a lot of rules and
20:12
regulations around kit fitting securely etcetera.
20:16
But there is a lot of second hand kit because obviously kids
20:18
outgrow things very quickly. So second hand equipment is
20:22
often like brand new. So it's it can be cheap but.
20:27
Yeah. You just have to play, right, so
20:28
to speak. Right.
20:29
Yeah, get the timing. Right.
20:30
Wait for the summer holidays for the kids to eat and sleep and
20:33
grow. Yes, absolutely.
20:35
And in terms of actual match play, do they they play against
20:39
other youth teams and other juniors, yes.
20:42
So it's it's like a regional. So Petersburg is southeast up to
20:49
the age of under sixteens and then it's South as per Phantoms
20:53
too. But yeah, we play competitive
20:57
games from the under twelves upwards and roughly works out
21:02
about 1516 games every season. Under 10s is the only odd one
21:09
out. They play cross ice, so two
21:11
games on the ice at the same time because obviously little
21:15
legs. Yeah, excellent.
21:19
Good stuff, right? We need to take a short break
21:21
there. We'll be back with more ice
21:22
hockey in a moment. Don't go away.

Ice Hockey, Peter. Phantoms.
24:20
We've just been speaking to Scott Lambie from the junior
24:23
side of the team and now it's over to Laura Brooks who's
24:27
representing the The Phantoms women's side.
24:29
Laura, good evening. Good evening.
24:31
Thank you so much for having me. No, pleasure.
24:33
Thank you for coming again. And once again, thank you for
24:35
taking time out on your birthday to join us.
24:36
Oh, no problem. It's a pleasure to be here.
24:38
Brilliant. So obviously you're you're a
24:40
player on the on the women's side of of of the club.
24:44
First of all was how long, how long have you been playing ice
24:46
hockey and and how did you get into it?
24:48
So I've been playing for about 10 years now.
24:51
The first time I touched a puck and a stick was when I was over
24:54
in America visiting friends. I was skating on a frozen lake.
24:57
They threw a stick at me. Said have a go.
24:59
I was no good at skating and I was like right, let's let's have
25:02
a go at this. So I had to go came back to the
25:03
UK and found a team and so it started then at university and
25:07
then took a break and then due to COVID and came and joined The
25:11
Phantoms back in 2021. And here you are, yes.
25:15
Here I am. Yeah, been with The Phantoms for
25:17
the last two seasons. Excellent.
25:18
How's that going with Phantoms? Oh, it's going fantastic.
25:21
We have achieved some amazing feats this year, so for the
25:24
first time in the history of the club, we reached the playoffs
25:26
this past season. The deciding game.
25:28
Our last home game in which we had the largest crowd we have
25:31
ever had in attendance, around 250 people.
25:34
We're looking to return to playoffs this coming season with
25:36
the aim of winning the division. Amazing.
25:38
That's super really good achievement and.
25:40
It was a personal accolade for you this season as well.
25:42
Wasn't there from from your peers?
25:44
Yes, there was. So every season we have
25:48
different awards. So we have an awards night at
25:49
the end of the season to congratulate and recognize
25:52
players. And this year I was voted
25:54
players Player of the Season. Congratulations and that's it's
25:57
good to kind of have that that from your fellow teammates,
26:00
isn't it? Because you know that you're
26:02
doing something right as and contributing well to the team in
26:05
the squad. Yes, yeah, it was an honest to
26:07
receive it. The ladies are absolutely
26:09
lovely. Brilliant.
26:10
And we were again, we were talking off air before you came
26:13
before, before we came on on air.
26:15
And you mentioned that your role goes beyond just playing in in
26:19
in the side as well. There's a lot of.
26:21
I imagine a lot of the team do it, but certainly you you muck
26:23
in with other things as well, don't you?
26:25
Yes, I do so on the on the ice I'm a center forward so I push
26:28
those lines forward and try and get the goals with the other
26:30
teammates. On the ice I'm generally a well
26:33
known player on the team. I'm the go to person for baked
26:35
goods so I bake for every home game.
26:37
Make sure us ladies are fed afterwards.
26:38
We need those sugar treats after the games and then pre training
26:42
and pre games I do off ice warm ups and hype everyone up.
26:45
Get them to think about what we're going to do on the ice and
26:47
then get to it. Fantastic.
26:49
That's brilliant. You're the sort of squad member
26:52
that every squad needs, isn't it Really.
26:54
Yes, yeah. Especially for the bacon, I'll
26:57
get me on the ice. It's more about off the ice
26:59
some. It's probably more appealing.
27:01
What's actually Speaking of baking For a moment, gladly.
27:05
Let's raise that. What's what?
27:06
What goes down well in the team? What?
27:07
What kind of baking goes down well with us, with the team?
27:10
Well, I think favorites from the team of the brownies, but I know
27:13
the favorite of the coaches, my cookies, so it's a tie up every
27:16
time. Do I go with the coach or the
27:17
players? Absolutely.
27:19
And what normally happens? She does both, hopefully.
27:24
Yes, yeah. And hopefully this season we'll
27:26
have some more people contributing to the baking
27:28
because I think we've got some other bakers on the team.
27:30
So we'll see. The Great Phantoms Bake Off.
27:32
Oh, yes, so. Those of you that are listening
27:35
tonight to Laura and I'm messaging her, there's your
27:38
challenge. You've got to take it baking and
27:41
you'll be competing in The Phantoms Bake Off.
27:43
Absolutely. And next time you're on as a
27:45
guest, you bring one of the one of the bakers on with you.
27:48
Yes. And that sounds great.
27:49
Yeah, that'd be great. And bring them in as well are.
27:51
You in the trees, Yes. Absolutely, dude.
27:57
Okay on the series. So going back to the sort of
27:59
playing side of things, and I presume your home matches are
28:03
played at Planet Ice like like because that's the center of ice
28:06
hockey in the city? What days do do the matches take
28:09
place? So generally the matches are on
28:10
a Saturday or Sunday, so this season we'll probably find out
28:13
our games in September, October for the whole season.
28:16
All our games are free to attend and so it'd be great to see more
28:19
people come down. If you do want to help out,
28:21
there's always volunteer roles, so I'm looking for people to
28:23
come and run the clock. You can also sit behind the
28:25
goals and press a button and it shows when the goals go in.
28:29
Also, you can count how many goals are shot on net.
28:31
That's really great for the statistics for the goalies.
28:33
It can show how good there are, how many shots they get on that,
28:36
and it shows the team as well how.
28:37
Many shops you're getting on the net and how many you're on
28:40
target, which is really, really useful data to have for a team.
28:43
Yeah, I'll say be a proper sort of statue person for the for
28:46
the, for the team, that sounds really good.
28:49
So if you're into ice hockey then that's a good opportunity.
28:51
I say it's free to get in, and if you're obviously a volunteer,
28:54
then you're playing an active part in the in the team's
28:57
success as well. Yes, I'll save some bacon for
28:58
you. That's an incentive, isn't it?
29:02
So you play play on a Saturday or Sunday.
29:03
What about training? When does training take place?
29:05
So the women train on a Wednesday generally in the
29:08
evening. And so it's at the moment we
29:11
train for an hour and a half. That might change as it as the
29:13
season starts again. So keep an eye on our Facebook
29:16
page and you can contact us through Facebook.
29:19
We also have Instagram, TikTok, I believe you also have Twitter.
29:22
So yeah, look out for our social media platforms and get in touch
29:26
and. I know again, we were saying
29:27
before that. Social media following is
29:29
growing very well, isn't? It Yes.
29:31
Yeah. Our TikTok seems quite popular,
29:34
but we also do match reports after every game, so we do have
29:36
a website so you can read about our games, how goals are scored,
29:39
our defense, everything so you can get involved and feel like
29:42
you're part of the game. In some of our games as well if
29:44
we have volunteers, we have our live updates on Twitter and on
29:48
other social media platforms, so we try and keep everyone as up
29:51
to date as possible if you can't make our games.
29:52
And what sort of content you put on TikTok then is it, is it sort
29:55
of highlights of matches of goals or what what sort of
29:58
things you? So we try and get match videos,
30:01
but otherwise we'd get some pictures and we show sort of
30:04
upcoming games. We do little, so animated videos
30:07
or we do little post ones that say whether we've lost, whether
30:10
we've won, congratulating everyone, picking out whether
30:13
there's the match, that sort of thing.
30:15
So we do little videos all over the place and also we had a
30:18
fantastic one for our last game of the season, showing that we
30:21
were really getting ready on and off the ice for this game.
30:24
Brilliant. You've just taken the words out
30:25
of my mouth in terms of your pretty much rituals, for
30:28
example. They're sort of quirks that
30:30
players go through and generally through the games as well.
30:33
Just capturing those moments can really make some great footage
30:36
and appeal to potentially new players as well.
30:39
Yes, yes. So we do have everyone has their
30:41
own little match rituals. So I find a lot of goalies like
30:44
to get their heads down, put your head friends in.
30:46
That's quite typical of our goalie as well.
30:49
So she enjoys doing that, just getting in her own zone.
30:51
For us as a team, we do like to come together and really show
30:55
sort of unity and do off ice warm ups and then have a chat
30:58
and really get our heads in the game.
30:59
We also have music in the change room, get everyone hiked but
31:01
also focusing on is this team difficult one to play, are we
31:04
going to win it? We want to put everything we can
31:06
into this game and so we are a team that wants to win.
31:10
We don't just, you know, go just for fun.
31:12
We really are. A driven team.
31:14
Brilliant and and I mean you talk about a lot of things there
31:17
that that sort of brings that team spirit together and that
31:20
bonding and would you put that down a lot of that down to the
31:23
success of the of the team. I know obviously take technical
31:25
ability and you have to be a good player generally anyway,
31:28
but what other things do you think contribute to the team's
31:30
success? Apart from biking?
31:32
Yeah, apart from baking, I think everyone is just so nice.
31:35
And it's not just the support from the team on the ice, it's
31:38
the support off the ice. Not just with hockey, with
31:40
everything. It's a massive community and all
31:42
the players are so lovely. They want to know you.
31:44
They don't just want to know your skill.
31:46
Whether you're new, whether you're experienced player,
31:48
everyone is welcome on the ice, especially for the women.
31:51
We've had so many new people start over the last couple
31:53
months and I think about 12, maybe more come on the ice and
31:57
really have a go. And it's fantastic to see new
31:58
people on the ice. Brilliant and.
32:01
Going back to the competition side of things, obviously the
32:03
season like it starts in the autumn.
32:05
How long does the season run from then?
32:07
From from when to when? So generally it runs from
32:09
September, October all the way through to April, May.
32:11
So our playoffs this year over the May Bank holiday weekend.
32:14
So we traveled to Sheffield and had a weekend away and played
32:17
some hockey. Just hockey.
32:20
Yes, we had some fun as. Well, I'm sure that mirrors the
32:24
men's season effectively then as well, doesn't it as well because
32:28
they have to play off finals at Coventry, I think the main.
32:31
And some men's side. And so, yeah, so it's good to
32:35
see that there is that replication between men and
32:38
women's hockey, yes. Definitely we we support the
32:40
men, It's great on social media. We make our post and support
32:43
them and they also support us. So it's it's really as a
32:45
community. Brilliant, great.
32:47
And how long has the women team been been around another club?
32:50
So the women's team started back in 1998 and it was known as the
32:55
Peterborough Penguins. And that was rebranded a couple
32:58
of years ago when Sue O'Sullivan took over the management of the
33:00
team. So that was full rebranding.
33:02
We were adopted into The Phantoms Academy.
33:04
And yeah, so it's since then we've really grown in our
33:08
standing in the community and in on social media.
33:10
But some of our players have been playing for decades.
33:13
So yeah, and actually did try out for the Peter Penguins and
33:16
played with them for a couple of months back in 2015.
33:18
So that's why I came back, because I knew they were so
33:20
nice. Brilliant.
33:22
Sounds good. So they're obviously doing
33:23
something right to attract you to come back and.
33:25
And play play long term. So and I think part of that you
33:29
talked about that that reorg a couple of years ago and I think
33:32
everything generally at the club is now under The Phantoms
33:34
umbrella now, isn't it? Whereas it was before segmented,
33:37
should I say Yeah, it was very segmented.
33:39
Yeah, yeah, obviously you've got the two senior teams, women's
33:43
for office, Penguins, as Laura's just said, and then the Academy,
33:46
Junior Academy was separate as well.
33:48
But yeah, like Laura's just said, the last couple of years
33:51
the women's have come under it, The Phantoms to have come under
33:53
the Academy banner, and then the overall banner is Phantom's
33:58
brand. Which which helps doesn't it
34:00
Because in the fact that he, he then starts to elevate your.
34:03
I suppose you the people get to realize that there is more than
34:07
just the men's team there or the first teams there and it starts
34:09
to elevate the other teams in in in the club and and it brings it
34:12
all together and then it it helps with the pathway for
34:14
youngsters to come through as well doesn't it?
34:16
Because it's it's all under one. You got the support and the and
34:19
the sponsorship effectively of the club to be able to do and
34:22
achieve what you want. Yes.
34:23
And I think especially for the women, it was difficult to
34:26
decide where to go beyond a certain age because you do have
34:28
the men's team and then it's what do we do with the women.
34:30
So for our team, we do take on players from age 12 and from
34:34
their 14th birthday. They're able to play games so
34:36
they can train with us for a couple of years as they're young
34:38
and then start playing games with us.
34:39
So actually play an adult game from 14 onwards.
34:42
Can they? Oh, wow.
34:43
That's really good. And we also do have a
34:46
development team. So this year we do want to build
34:48
not just our women's, the national team, we have a
34:50
development team. This is something that's growing
34:52
massively with the support of our coach and his wife and it's
34:55
fantastic to see what's being going on.
34:57
We also are developing a connection with Chelmsford and
35:01
building those games, development games specifically.
35:03
So if you don't feel confident or strong enough to go and play
35:06
at these national games, you'll still be able to develop, get
35:08
that game time. That's good.
35:10
And you talked about obviously the youngsters coming through
35:12
the ladies side or women's I suppose it would be girls at
35:15
that point and then become women so to speak.
35:17
So how is that separate to what Scott was describing for the
35:20
juniors or is that linked into what Scott does the work that
35:22
Scott on his side of the doctors.
35:23
So there's a little bit of a link obviously from the learn to
35:26
play, we can highlight certain girls that have got potential to
35:31
join the women's and then they've got the option to stay
35:34
with the juniors and train with the women's as well.
35:37
So in theory, they're getting double their ice time and
35:40
training. That's really good, isn't it?
35:42
That, that and, but that. Again, part of being under the
35:45
same umbrella and the brand like we speaking earlier gives that
35:47
opportunity for the the different areas of the club then
35:50
to work together and and bring it all together.
35:52
Yeah, definitely. So that's all good news for
35:54
everyone, isn't it? Brilliant, Right.
35:56
Let's take another short break there.
35:57
We'll be back with some more ice hockey with Scott and Laura.
36:01
Don't go away. Built to inspire discover the
36:04

37:41
Show here every Friday, six to seven.
37:44
If you missed the show so far, you can listen back after 7:00
37:46
PM if you go to the Listen Again option on our website.
37:50
You can listen back to the brilliant show we've had so far
37:51
talking about ice hockey. We've got Scott Lambie and Laura
37:55
Brooks with us today. Scott from the junior side and
37:58
Laura from the women's side of Peterborough Phantoms.
38:02
If I just come to you first, Scott, we talked about obviously
38:05
juniors and and up and coming future stars effectively.
38:09
If if there's parents out there listening or or youngsters out
38:11
there listening who want to get involved and play hockey, how,
38:13
how can they reach out and how can they get involved?
38:16
Yeah, certainly. So yeah.
38:17
Obviously we're always looking for new recruits, especially the
38:21
under 10s and under twelves. That gives them a really good
38:23
opportunity to develop over the years.
38:27
But there's a learn to play. It's generally on a Saturday
38:30
morning, half eight in the morning, so it's not an early.
38:34
Kids are up early anyway, aren't they?
38:35
Sorry. Kids are up early anyway, aren't
38:37
they? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
38:38
I'm not walk around like a zombie, but yeah, it's run
38:44
through Planet Ice, so all the details will be on Planet Ice's
38:47
website. Obviously the Academy support
38:51
that through the coaching, but it is a Planet Ice run course.
38:57
Obviously I'll be there. There's a couple of other
38:59
coaches that always on the ice on the Saturday morning and that
39:04
that's the best opportunity to be fair.
39:06
Yeah. So that's the kind of entry
39:07
point on the Saturday morning contact through Planet Ice and
39:09
then once. Once they're on board, what's
39:11
the process look after after in terms of what days they train?
39:15
What sort of commitment would they need?
39:16
So obviously if they, if they do make the grade through, learn to
39:19
play there, they'll be invited to trial period with the Academy
39:24
trial period. It sounds a bit formal, but it's
39:28
more a case of we will the kid enjoy playing with the players?
39:32
Does he like the structure of the club and the training?
39:36
It's very rare that we've turned down a player to stay with the
39:39
Academy. So it's all about that
39:41
dedication and their commitment to the support and what, what
39:47
day are the Academy days when you so Tuesday, Wednesday,
39:50
Thursday and Saturday. Wow, Across all the age groups?
39:53
Yeah, is that generally we try to chat train each age group
39:57
twice a week. OK, and that's evenings, I
39:59
guess. Obviously so after school.
40:01
Or evening share? Brilliant.
40:02
OK. And now how long does that
40:04
Academy phase? Take or is that kind of an
40:07
ongoing thing until they until it comes to a situation where
40:10
you think, yeah they will either want to carry on of their own
40:13
etcetera. How does that only learn to
40:14
play. Yeah yeah.
40:15
So they'll they try to reach grade five with the learn to
40:18
play option and then that grade four we invite them for trials
40:23
just to give them that extra little bit because they learn to
40:26
play. It's it's such a mixed bag of
40:28
abilities, but once they go on that trial with the Academy, we
40:32
really see a pickup in their abilities and their their focus
40:35
on the sport. Absolutely.
40:37
And obviously everything you say is, you're not saying as a
40:40
manager or a coach, you've lived this with your child, haven't
40:43
you as well? So two of my children now, Yeah,
40:46
Yeah. So what would you say to a
40:48
parent or somebody who's sitting on the fencing in Shall I Shaw?
40:50
And I, What would you? What would you go for it?
40:53
Yeah, definitely go for it. And the learn to play.
40:55
Obviously we spoke about the expense of some of the kit, but
40:58
the learn to play all the kits provided you know, we provide
41:02
helmet, gloves and stick and Planet Hospital obviously
41:06
provides gates if needed but there is no expense to try the
41:10
sport. Brilliant.
41:12
Good advice, excellent. Thank you and Laura on the
41:14
ladies and and and sort of youth youth.
41:18
Or girls on ladies side, what's the process to engage and what
41:22
can they expect? So similar to Scott, there's no
41:25
cost to try the sport. We do have plenty of spare kit
41:28
that you can use to try. We've got skates, absolutely
41:30
everything you could need. So please come down and have a
41:33
go. You can contact us through
41:34
Facebook or any of the social media outlets and then we will
41:38
get back in touch. And so we do train again on a
41:40
Wednesday and yeah, as I said, games on a Saturday or Sunday.
41:44
So please reach out. Would be great to hear from you.
41:47
And I just got a search for Peter.
41:48
As women, haven't they? Yes, you do.
41:49
Yeah. Peter Phantom swimming.
41:51
Fantastic. And could be anyone out there
41:54
that's listening. Obviously you explained your
41:56
story. You had a unique situation.
41:58
Perhaps didn't think of ice hockey until you were out in the
42:01
out in America. Friends asked you to try and you
42:04
kind of fell for it then, didn't you?
42:05
Yes, Yeah. So.
42:06
We literally fell for it. Careful words.
42:09
Yeah, I. Mean I did fall a few times.
42:12
Yeah, whatever your story come and come and have a go.
42:15
It's a great sport, great community.
42:18
Yeah, we're happy to see where you're at.
42:21
And then there's other ways you can learn.
42:23
Like Scott's mentioned through the show.
42:24
There's ways you can develop your skating and there's always
42:27
off. I stuff you can do as well.
42:28
You can manage your and develop your skills with.
42:32
Handling through off ice sessions as well, so there's
42:35
lots you can do. Absolutely.
42:36
And I guess the other thing is, especially for youngsters, it's
42:39
a whole new social experience of all, isn't it?
42:42
You know, it's more than just your school friends and the
42:44
people who live down your street.
42:46
You, you, you're mixing with like minded people, with similar
42:48
interests, from a different background, people you never met
42:51
before and creates another friend.
42:52
Circle doesn't. It yeah, yeah, yeah.
42:54
It's a massive, massive environment.
42:56
Obviously with the away games, you're traveling across the
42:59
country. It's not like a typical football
43:01
match that's down the local park.
43:03
You know, we're traveling miles across the country to get these
43:06
kids playing ice hockey. Laurie brought some medals in
43:12
with you. Yes, I talk.
43:13
Us through what you've got here, you've got a puck as well.
43:15
Yes. So the puck is the finals
43:17
weekend puck. So that was the women's National
43:20
Ice Hockey League playoffs final puck.
43:22
And so that's what we achieved this year.
43:24
So getting to that playoffs weekend.
43:26
So that's the commemorative puck.
43:27
From that. I've also got two medals that
43:30
are given when you attend and you play the games throughout
43:34
the season. So that's the women's Phantoms
43:36
2020 1/22/22 season medal, and I've also got the one from. 2022
43:41
to 2023 and they are given to, yeah, any player that takes
43:44
part. Yes, just for participating.
43:58
And something that we work towards during games is you can
44:01
be voted well by the the coach as the player of the game.
43:46
Yeah. So you don't have to go out and
43:48
win something. So again, it brings in us.
43:50
It's the social aspect of it as well.
43:52
But people feel rewarded at the end and they've still got
43:55
something to take home with them and show their family and
43:57
friends. So that is something you want to
44:07
really strive for in every game is that you want to play your
44:09
best and. Do that and then you get a medal
44:12
usually, or a trophy for that as well, so something you can
44:15
achieve on every single game. That's good, isn't it?
44:17
And it's about, you know, you want to reward success and you
44:21
want to reward you know little as well as big success, don't
44:23
you? Because you want to recognize
44:25
people's efforts and contributions.
44:27
Yeah, just looking down your Facebook page, actually.
44:30
So you've got your rewards night as well.
44:31
Yes, we do. It's a great night.
44:34
Yeah. Is that with all the kids there
44:38
as well? 96 kids?
44:39
Yeah. Registered.
44:40
Yeah. So they're all.
44:41
That's a great site and that's testament to all the hard work
44:43
that you've put in over the course of the previous 12 months
44:46
effectively. And to have all those kids there
44:49
going away with a medal or something, a memento to
44:51
recognize their hard work. It's something that they feel
44:54
happy and proud to show off and take to school, Potentially as
44:56
well, definitely. It's like Laura mentioned every
44:59
every child in the Academy will be rewarded with a team award
45:03
for that participation. There is special awards for the
45:06
the the elite players of the groups, but everyone goes away
45:11
with a smile on their face and a a small award.
45:13
Brilliant. And away from competitive
45:15
hockey, we talked about early and and you mentioned that
45:19
there's some charity work that goes on.
45:21
From the clubs as well. Yes, yes.
45:22
So within recreational hockey they like to do charity games.
45:26
So there's a team, the Warriors, they were created this last
45:29
season so they've had one full season and they did a charity
45:32
game recently and that was against Nottingham City Cyclones
45:35
and they raised over 1500 pounds for Mind, which was fantastic.
45:40
Yeah. And likewise my first team in
45:43
Petersburg was Peter for Phoenix and they raised over £3000 for
45:47
the defibrillator outside the rink.
45:49
So supporting the community with defib in the region.
45:54
That's brilliant. Really good stuff.
45:55
Really good stuff. So any future charity endeavors
45:59
planned or anything you'd like to do?
46:01
Yeah. So I know there's something in
46:03
the pipe work. So again, we want to go to
46:05
Nottingham. So the Warriors, who I play for
46:07
on a recreational level, they are already organizing a charity
46:10
game with Nottingham again, but this time hosted in Nottingham,
46:13
so that's already in the pipeline.
46:14
Brilliant. Look forward to that.
46:15
Not forgetting the Phantom's Bake Off competition.
46:19
That could become a charity thing, yeah.
46:21
Potentially, but also just a great way to bring the team
46:23
together in that way, isn't it? Whether it be juniors and
46:26
parents or switches of the women's side as well.
46:28
So you can have even the men's first team as well, could get
46:31
involved and have some creations, shall we say.
46:34
Yeah, and if you're not a hockey player yet and you'd like to
46:36
take part in this Phantom's Bake Off, then get playing hockey and
46:39
then you can take playoffs. Absolutely.
46:40
And if you want to donate any proceeds from the Bake Off, then
46:43
Nielish and I will be glad. Of those I.
46:46
Think we're going to a game now? I think definitely.
46:48
I think we just talked ourselves into that one.
46:50
Fantastic. Just also mentioned, Phantom
46:54
Supports Club are hosting a Family Fun day in August on
46:57
August the 28th on Monday starts at 12 until 4:00 PM at the White
47:01
Hart in Ufford. And the 2324 season players will
47:04
be in attendance with many games and activities to enjoy on the
47:08
day. The white art will be putting on
47:10
BBQ, Hog Roast and pizza from their new pizza shack.
47:14
There'll be a raffle and a tombola on the day as well.
47:17
And yeah, just get along to that, support the the team and
47:20
the club. It's it's an open invite.
47:22
It opens the public and I guess you guys will be there or?
47:26
Representatives from the club will be there, The junior,
47:29
junior team will be there as well in the numbers.
47:31
Yeah, obviously, like like you mentioned, the senior team will
47:35
be there. So the juniors, especially at a
47:37
younger age, like to be there to, yeah, rub shoulders with
47:40
the. Shoulders grab autographs and
47:42
get pictures taken and just inspire them for the season
47:45
ahead. Last year they put the The
47:47
Phantoms one players in the stock.
47:49
Oh wow, wet sponges at them. So brilliant.
47:51
But I'll be down then. Super, super.
47:56
I probably shouldn't ask, but are you targeting somebody that
47:58
by saying that then if you'll be down.
48:01
I don't know, but I feel like I should target.
48:03
Fantastic, brilliant, right? Times called us up
48:06
unfortunately. But just a quick reminder,
48:07
Scott, so how, if people want it all kids or people want to get
48:10
involved in the junior side, how can they do that?
48:12
Just, yeah, Free the Learn to apply, Free Planet ISIS website.
48:16
Obviously I can pass on my details if they want direct
48:18
contact with me. Fantastic and Laura for the
48:21
women's and let and the girls side.
48:22
So if you want to contact us through social media, Facebook's
48:24
a good way to go. And there's also for
48:27
recreational side. We do have a Peterborough UK
48:29
