Rec Hockey is booming in Cardiff at the moment and whilst the Elite League is enjoying it's off season, the Rec teams are thriving in the heat of competition.
The Cardiff Ice Hounds are playing every weekend through May, with their next home fixture being on the 15th, when they hosting the Medway Madness, in the Southern Conference.
It's the Hounds first season in the competition and at present, they are enjoying plenty of sucess, having already beaten last season's champions - Guildford Smoke - on the road and currently sit in second place in the table.
Face off on the 15th is at 4:30pm.

Cardiff Ice Hounds continued their sucess on their weekend, with a 19-2 road win in Slough, beating the Scorpions. The result should see more Hounds feature in the league scoring stats, with ex-Cardiff Devil, Dease sitting just outside of the top ten scorers, going into the weekend.

The players will now enjoy this weekend off, before they host Medway Madness on the 15th May. The match will start a four week stretch of 'regular' hockey for the Hounds, with each weekend seeing them on the ice.
After the Medway game, the Hounds face the RAF Bluewings for their away fixture (beat them 12-1 at home) on the 23rd May; the Army Air Corps Ice Hawks away fixture (Ice Hawks sit just below the Hounds in the table, in third) on the 30th May and then finish the run off, hosting the Ice Hawks at 4:30pm at Cardiff, on the 5th June.

Cardiff Ice Hounds v Medway Madness - Coming Up
The Hounds are awaiting confirmation of last weekend’s results for the Southern Conference, but there should be little difference to the Conference Table, leaving the Cardiff Ice Hounds hot on the title race, sitting in second place just behind Bracknell Blizzards, having played two games less than the leaders.

Despite currently sitting two from the bottom spot, Medway’s recent results suggest that if the Madness travel well this weekend, the match may be closer than the Hounds would wish. The Hounds will certainly be hoping that their away form goes to book and the result goes their way, as they face another two (consecutive) weekends of late and tough away fixtures.

In their last visit to the Cardiff Bay Ice Arena, the Cardiff Eagles convincingly owned the Madness, beating them 8-0.
The Hounds v Medway match faces off at 4:30pm, this Saturday.

This Saturday (5th June 2010) the Cardiff Ice Hounds continue their Southern Conference campaign against the Army Air Corps Ice Hawks, at the Cardiff Bay Ice Arena.
The Hounds played the Ica Hawks on Saturday just gone, down in Basingstoke and caused an upset, beating the strong third placed outfit 7-11. Going into the match, the Hounds were on equal point with the first placed Bracknell Blizzards and have a game in hand on them.
Bracknell were also in action on the weekend, playing fourth placed Guildford Smoke, who choked to Bracknell 2-4.
So the Hounds fixture against the Ice Hawks, is the start of the last four games of the regular season, three of which are 'top four' teams. It's going to be a hard slog and the Army Air Corps will no doubt be keen to settle the score.
Come down and support your local Rec Hockey team. Face off is 4:30pm. Entry is free.
