Hockey in the United Kingdom - Rhubarb! - Twitchin Kitten - 02-15-2011
I found this for you! Maybe you can find a game nearby?
http://www.icehockeyuk.co.uk/
And here you can see a bench clearing brawl between Nottingham and Coventry.
Hardly as rough as the NHL and the guys are half the size but the fight is legit - you don't mess with the goalie.
It's amazing you can't see any markings on the ice like the NHL too. I'll have to check and see what league rules they abide by there.
I had to laugh, 12 Quid and 2000 fans.
We pay like $75 for medium seats and there are 20,000 fans.

I know there was/is a team in Southampton but to get to see them isn't so easy. I know Ice Hockey is more popular 'North of the Watford Gap'

Hopefully you can find something closer and easy to get to on that website. I don't know how long your season is there so better check it out and if you can't make a game this season, at least you can plan ahead for next!
And, if you go, take pictures!
