Sports Physiotherapy - Ice Hockey

Athlete matters have had a major part to play in supporting the recent success of the Manchester Phoenix Ice Hockey team. Our insight into the demands of the sport and knowledge on how to push the boundaries of rehabilitation has ensured that the Phoenix bench is fully manned and raring to go. Our injury prevention programme of Ice Hockey specific core stability also proved successful in minimising frequency and severity of injuries over the course of the season.

The Manchester Phoenix Ice Hockey Club

 

 

 

Competing in the English Premier League, the team will play 27 home league games in 2010/11 and compete on all fronts for silverware against clubs from Basingstoke, Bracknell, Guildford, Milton Keynes, Peterborough, Sheffield, Slough, Swindon and Telford.

Manchester Phoenix home games are predominantly on a Sunday evening, commencing at 5.30pm and finishing around 8.00pm. A night at the ice hockey is an entertainment-packed affair with lots of interactive fun for all the family added to the speed, skills, thrills and spills of the fastest team sport in the world.

 

With crowds averaging 1,500 and growing the Phoenix is a sporting spectacle on the rise. And all this in an atmosphere second to none!

Our club encompasses an approved School Roadshow that takes ice hockey out into the community, encouraging participation in sport and promoting a healthy living programme. Last season, the Phoenix Roadshow took the message to over fifty schools across Manchester and beyond.

 

This season, with the support of sponsors and local schools, we hope to invite children to the Altrincham Ice Dome to get a feel of what it is like to skate and learn basic ice hockey skills.

With Britain's most celebrated ice hockey star - Tony Hand MBE - back for his fifth season as Phoenix's Head Coach, the 2010/11 season promises to be our biggest and best yet.
