Whitley Head Coach Simon Leach has been in discussions with numerous parties over the last few weeks as Warriors look to take part in a cup competition during the 2014/15 season. As previously mentioned there is the possibility that Whitley could take on a number of Scottish sides who play in the Scottish National League in a brand new cup format.

Another option is that Whitley could participate in a NIHL North Cup with other Division 1 sides who are not taking part in the EPL Cup. Warriors are aware that supporters have been concerned over the clubs lack of fixtures this coming season and the club can assure fans that they are doing everything possible in order to secure further fixtures in order to increase Whitley’s games over the campaign.

Supporters are reminded that Whitley’s first warm up game ahead of the new season is this coming weekend when Warriors travel up to Scotland to take on the Kirkcaldy Kestrels  on Saturday evening before a home game the following weekend when Whitley take on the Aberdeen Lynx on home ice.
