Former Murrayfield Racers, Solihull Barons, Peterborough Pirates, Fife Flyers, Paisley Pirates and Great Britain defenceman Paul Hand joins the show to reflect on a career forged in Edinburgh's hockey culture and intense cross-border rivalries.
Paul recalls growing up around Murrayfield, rising through the juniors and making his senior debut for the Racers, before naming Alex Dampier as the biggest influence on his career. Under Dampier, Paul enjoyed league and Autumn Cup success, Wembley Playoff appearances, and GB honours.
His journey included a brief spell with Solihull, a return to Murrayfield to win the Racers' first League Championship, a high-profile but short-lived move to Peterborough, and a controversial switch to Fife Flyers that drew heat from both fanbases. Later chapters saw him at Paisley Pirates, including time as player-coach.
Paul also opens up about playing in the shadow of his brother Tony Hand—and what it was really like trying to defend against the greatest British-born player of all time.
