Spartans Complete the Double!
Results, News April 29th, 2007
The Sheffield Spartans Have completed the double by winning the ENIHL league cup final at Peterborough tonight 4-3!
It was always going to be a tough game at Peterborough, they are a big physical team, have a sixteen game unbeaten run, home ice advantage and a full house of supporters that really did make a cracking atmosphere!
After going down 2-1 at the end of the first, the Spartans had to dig deep to turn the game around, which they did with a 2-0 second period. The Spartans then extended the lead with another goal early in the third, but as the penalties and pressure mounted the home team pulled one back with a 5 on 3 powerplay with minutes remaining on the clock. This made for a really tense finish, but the Spartans dug in and held on for the win. Every player gave their all, what a way to finish the season. Well done boys.
We would like to thank everyone that has been involved with the club this season, with special mention to Martin White, Lynn Millard, Paul Haywood, Mick Strawson, Shirley Packwood and everyone else from behind the scenes.

Great season guys, and winning the double definately makes it my most memorable! Just to let you know I’ve applied to carry on as coach next season, and if successfull I will be joined by a coach with loads more experience and knowledge than myself as well as bringing in one or two new faces for trials pre-season.
I hope we get the opportunity to carry on where we left off and defend our titles!
