Description

This episode features former Durham Wasps, Nottingham Panthers, Solihull Barons, Bracknell Bees and Great Britain goal-scoring star Jamie Crapper.

Jamie charts an extraordinary UK hockey journey — from prolific import with the Durham Wasps, league and cup winner, to key roles at Nottingham, Solihull and Bracknell. He discusses becoming player-coach under pressure, guiding teams to promotion and survival, and balancing elite playing duties with off-ice roles as a manager and rink operator.

After hanging up his skates, Jamie played a major part in developing hockey in Bristol, helping establish junior hockey and the Bristol Bulldogs, before later returning to the ice as a referee, reaching the SuperLeague and winning the BIHA Micky Curry Award.

A fascinating story of goals, leadership and dedication to British ice hockey.
