Been watching since the elite league began but already have loads!
The challenge cup final obviously, seeing the blaze fans silenced was great! The game sunday was nearly as good...the whole skydome in shocked silence, priceless!
Beating squealers away a few years ago when burgy scored in the last second of ot, with 10 seconds left he had the puck behind our net and charged the length me the ice to score.
Gretzky's after dinner dances was always a great laugh, franny serving everyone coz the queue was too big!
There's many more and i'm sure that by the end of the season there'll be loads more!

Devils v Racers, a slight confrontation breaks out, the usual "hold me back, hold me back" stuff, Brendan Yarema thinks the linos have hold of Mike Ware and starts mouthing off at him, but they didn't, and the "oh feck!" look on his face when he saw Mikey skating over to have a chat was priceless!
Devils travelling to Streatham for the first leg of the promotion playoff to the old HPL. WE took over their rink, even having the Echo seller outside selling football echos!
The Challenge cup was special.

Kim Alhroos on a line change. He's sat on the barrier, looses his balance and falls backwards into the bench legs in the air. Ivan Matulik calmly bends down,picks him up by the scruff of the neck and literally throws him onto the ice.
The look on Alhroos' face was priceless :lol:
Devils V London Knights. 5-0 down and came back to win 6-5. There was a lone Bracknell fan in amongst the knights fans and he was on his own cheering our every goal. Priceless

I have to agree with Hockey Mum about the Wembley game, when Tony Hand missed the penalty shot and when all the players just jumped off the bench and drived on top of Jeff Smith that was just the best
The other game that does really stick out for me was when the Devils played Durham Wasps at home on November 25th 1990 and when they BEAT Durham 10 nil at the WNIR as this was the first time that Durham had lost a game to a shut out, those where happy days!!

1) The Challenge Cup Final. What a way to say goodbye to the old barn
2) Beating Murrayfield 12-4 in March 1990 just after we had won our first league title in a game against Peterborough. It was a Friday night, Grandstand game, Murrayfield desperately wanted to prove to us that they should have won the league, a massive crowd came in and we tonked them.
3) Beating Sheffield at Wembley with the last goal scored by our Welsh line.
4) Last season away against Nottingham in the playoff quarter finals, they were confident, we had a shocking record against them, then a few minutes into the game Brad puts a huge check on one of their players and all of a sudden the momentum completely changed.
5) The London game.

I aint really been following hockey that long but my fave memory was playing Nottingham for our place in the playoffs. Ive never seen so many fully grown men crying, the atmospere was amazing, the fans were mad and the devils just played outstanding.
Also it was the last time I took to the ice with Phil Osaer.

For me definately winning our group in tilburg '94.We were all wondering if we wouild even get a goal during the whole weekend.Boy were we wrong.
Amazing for loads of reasons.We obviously qualified,we had an amazing night on the ice after the tilburg game even though we lost.High fives with all the Dutch fans and disco on the ice.Grown men doing a 'Klinsman'and somehow not killing themselves.
During the Tilburg - Sokol game we needed if I recal a Sokol win but not by too many.Each time a goal went in for either team,we then proceded to support the other and chant their name instead :lol:
When we beat Torpedo and knew we had done it,I looked at my mate Squirt and no words were needed.We both knew what it meant.I will never forget that moment of feeling on top of the world.
A close second was destroying the Squeelers 12-1 in the Wembley final.The posse came on and chants of "Wales Wales"and the muppets all left early.This was the day before GB went to pool A to play the likes of the mighty Canada,Russia etc and that was amazing too and spent a fortnight lording it up over the Squeelers who were stupid enough to make the trip.
Wembley '90 for the best game ever at Wembley and beating the Wasps 10 nil was special too.

That was crazy!!!!! I was really young when that happened!!!! Anyone know what year it was???
The bench clearance would have been 1995 I think. Last game of the season. Steelers had just won the league after Nottingham bottled it. Whoever won our game would finished second and avoid the Steelers in the playoff group.
IIRC it was level with about 2 minutes to go when Cooper mishit a shot which was going wide, bounced off 2 Nottingham players and went in. The rink went mad and then the next shift it all kicked off.
I think we scored an ENG with a couple of second to go to seal victory (Dumas maybe?).
Awesome game. Still got it on tape somewhere......might well have to dig that out tonight.
