Ice Hockey UK would like to thank Great Britain Supporters’ Club (GBSC) for their latest donation of £10,000 to the GB Programme.

The latest funding covers the current men’s and women’s Olympic cycle.

GBSC have raised over £150,000 for the GB Programme in the past three decades.

The supporters’ club was formed in June 1993 by Annette and Allan Petrie.

After arranging a trip for around 12 people in Copenhagen in 1991, they took 25 fans from across the UK to GB’s triumphant promotion in Eindhoven in 1993.

While there, they found out that many fans had paid over the odds for their trip and some had come independently and from this the supporters club was formed.

Ice Hockey UK CEO, Henry Staelens, said: “This is once again another fantastic donation from GBSC.

“Their financial support is important to the GB programme and I’d like to thank them for their latest donation.

“Their support this weekend in Aalborg in the stands has been brilliant, as it is wherever GB go in the world.”
