Swindon Wildcats
Introducing the 2008/09 squad
It's set to be a great season for the Swindon Wildcats ice hockey team, and this weekend we got the chance to meet the whole squad.
Making their final signing just two weeks ago, head coach Pete Russell said: "This year I have built a squad that is physically very strong and technically very good.
"I have focused on the areas that I feel were slightly weaker last year and I have added a lot of quality and experience alongside our exciting and talented youth players.
"The season is going to be a very exciting one!"
