Melbourne Ice

And through that timeframe, I just kept at it, you know, being 67 now and and loving this game, live it, sleep, eat, sleep, and drink it.

I got an offer four years ago to come and be the head coach of the Melbourne Ice out of the Australian Ice Hockey League.

So it's been four years of unbelievable opportunities as an old dude to stay in a young man's game.

Well, I mean, no matter where you're at, you can always bring hockey.

The disadvantage is to the Australian market where these kids just don't have it.

So a lot of the kids end up flying to North America and playing.

I actually have two billets, two kids from Melbourne through the Melbourne ice that are living with me during the winter.

And they're, you know, they're on the ice five times a week and I've already seen a huge increase.

Exactly.

It is, you know, I'm so, so happy for the team, the organisation, especially because of how much I despise Melbourne Ice.

And they are second in the running in terms of championships.

And I just don't want them getting anywhere near the Northies.

Sean's AHL TV decided he was the

Melbourne Ice.

No finals

access.

Bears, Ice Dogs, North Stars fans, no excuses, go.

Erina, see you there.

Melbourne Ducks, Melbourne Ice, you've got two teams.

Have fun with it.

We released a few little tickets the other day.

That was Melbourne Ice fans after they didn't qualify handing their tickets back, and they went in seven minutes.

So, yes, we really need some bigger venues.

And you look overseas, of course, the amount of really good guests we've had in here, of course, gentlemen who have played around the world and, of course, in the NHL.

They're still going to come along to the games because they love hockey and they actually get a stress-free finals because their team's not in.

So there's going to be quite a few fans there, I think, probably in Melbourne Ice Colours that still just want to come and watch the hockey.

I'm trying to think back now.

It might have also been 2023 when Newcastle didn't make it, but there was a lot of Newcastle fans that already bought tickets.

So they only played two games.

I thought North Stars were in.

No, North Stars were in on Saturday last year and then Melbourne Ice won Friday to play us on Saturday and then beat us on Saturday to play Sunday.

And then the year before that, Brave did all three and I just can't remember who they played against.

And who is the current champion? So who won the cup last year?

So the Melbourne Ice won last year.

So they've won five now.

So there's two teams in Melbourne, the Melbourne Ice and the Mustangs.

The Mustangs have won twice and the Melbourne Ice have won five times.

That's probably the biggest rivalry in the league.

So they won last year.

You can buy full-season pass.
