While the action on the ice moves fast, the main objective is perfectly simple: shoot the puck past the opposing netminder to score the most goals. What makes ice hockey so special is that anyone can enjoy it without knowing every single rule.
The Basingstoke Bison compete in the National Ice Hockey League (NIHL) National Division. As the second tier of UK ice hockey, the NIHL is a highly competitive league packed with fast-paced skill, intense rivalries, and incredible talent.
The unique buzz of the arena makes it a brilliant night out for absolute beginners and seasoned supporters alike.
Get ready for a high-speed, adrenaline-fueled experience. A standard match features three 20-minute periods separated by two interval breaks. Because the game clock stops for every whistle, you are guaranteed exactly 60 minutes of pure, uninterrupted hockey.
Both teams field six players at a time: one netminder and five skaters. Players substitute 'on the fly' without the game stopping, meaning fresh legs are constantly hitting the ice so the relentless pace never drops.
If the score is deadlocked after 60 minutes, the tension rises with sudden-death overtime. If a winner still hasn't emerged, brace yourself for a shootout: a nerve-wracking, one-on-one showdown between skater and netminder to clinch the overtime victory.
