Ice hockey is currently one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Hectic, frantic and often quite violent, it naturally appeals to spectators and its popularity has taken off in the UK, with many teams now operating and attracting strong attendances. This book looks at every venue ever to host the sport in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Containing a wealth of information on each building, including team histories, statistical information, architectural details, and many illustrations, this is a fascinating book for anyone with an interest in the sport.
