The national team will play against Poland at Planet Ice Leeds on Friday, April 26, the first part of a double-header which sees the teams go head-to-head again the following night at the National Ice Centre in Nottingham.

The securing of the fixture, part of the team’s preparations for the World Championships in Prague, is further evidence of the growing popularity of the sport in the city, given the NIHL National league and play-off success of Leeds Knights last season.

The Knights remain in the frame to repeat that triumph this season and regularly attract 1,500-plus crowds.
