ICE hockey stars from Canada could again be gracing Blackburn Arena in the coming season.

Lancashire Hawks, stepping up their search to find new imports, have visited Canada over the past week. "We are anxious to get the best players we can and we have unearthed some good leads over there," says manager Mike Cockayne. "The season starts in early September and we are aware that time is pressing."

Supporters can see up to six matches 'free' by purchasing a season ticket. An adult ticket for all league and cup matches comes in at £139 with a child ticket priced at £93. On the door prices will reman the same as last season £6 (£4 concessions), with a family ticket (two adults and two children) priced at £18. Season tickets are now available at the Arena.
