This is the kinda documentary that needs to air on main stream TV to help raise the profile of Team GB and ice hockey in the UK. It would do wonders for getting more people interested.
This is the type of documentary that British National basketball team deserves ESPECIALLY the women’s team that just missed out on a medal at the recent European championship and ended up 4th. Which is the best finish any British National team has placed in an international competition. 🔥
Wow Pow it’s huge in certain areas but in a lot of places no one gives a shit especially in the south. I play for a small town team and we beat the team from London 9-0
Born in the UK, but growing up in Canada i have a huge sense of national pride seeing these boys make it to the big league. And also being born in the UK i qualify to play if you ever need a back up goalie to back up the back up!
Hockey is a sport that really has potential to grow in the UK. It's fast paced and doesn't have as many stoppages as American football. The NFL has done such a good sport promoting American Football in the UK that it's created a sizeable fanbase, the NHL or more likely the KHL should look to do the same.
James Robertson Justice was among the most popular actors in British film from the 1950's to the 70's. During his youth he had spent a great deal of time in Canada and developed a life long passion for the hockey. I believe that he played Goalie in one of the premier British Pro leagues. He went on to be play a major role in developing hockey in Britain. Ya got some deep roots here.
Well, welcome to big boys club. Its gona be rough and bit ugly. But. Be proud to be here, you have earned it. Hope you enjoy the ride and be there next year. Greetings from Finland
I remember I was watching a gb game in Coventry against Poland and we were chanting against each other, gb, polska, gb, polska, whenever I see our beloved team, I always think of that. And to see gb gain this fame, is absolutely mind blowing, let's go gb 🇬🇧
Your hockey has a huge potential to work on hockey, make hockey visible in the UK and take care of every young player from the start so that you have more players in the NHL. If you do this for a few more years, your hockey will be at a high level, be inspired by Switzerland. As I say, your hockey has great potential to function for only a few years and you will be able to compete with the hockey powers. I trust you from Slovakia and I look forward to our joint match, you were the last Championship very unpleasant for us, although we won 7: 1, but several of our hockey players said that you knew how to build order in front of the goal, try to bounce off this and build on it. I keep my fingers crossed from Slovakia.
What a fantastic documentary - surprised not to see it available on mainstream TV (iPlayer/ITV Hub/Channel 4 etc.) before the Winter Olympics, but hey ho. More of this please!
Superb documentary. I have always followed the ice hockey at the Olympics, with Steh Bennett's commentary, and then started watching MK Lightning, then followed GB last year 2018 and got really caught up in it because I knew Slovenia were good having watched them play in Pyongchang 2018 Olympics, so to hear & see GB beat them was great and then following them now in the top flight. My mum and my aunt (from Finland) have been talking 'did you know Finland and GB are playing Ice Hockey in the World Championships?' and I can say yes, and they are watching it live as well, is absolutely brilliant, and then GB saying up with the win over France in overtime is absolutely brilliant!! I can't stop smiling!!! Thanks GB Ice Hockey so much!! :-)
I've been following British hockey for a while now, and I can't wait to see you get started with your first top division championship since 1994. Puck drops against the Germans in only a few hours. Greetings from Norway and best of luck.
So good to see hockey picking up steam in the UK. Always thought it was bizarre how hockey wasn't bigger in the UK, since it seems like a perfect fit for the sports fans in the country.
Go Team GB, show then we have not gone there to be the whipping boys, show the rest of the world we will not surrender, hit them, smack them up the boards, we are Great Britain ice Hockey, show them what we can do
Most of the players on that 1936 team were Canadians. They were British born and moved to Canada when they were young, subsequently learning the game in Canada. One player learned the game in the UK, one other learned in Germany or Switzerland. There were only 12 or 13 on the rosters in those years. And curtesy of J. F. Ahearne, known as Bunny, who finagled his way to be able to recruit them from the senior amateur ranks in Canada to get them to return to the UK. So GB was not really a strong hockey playing country and still is not.
Bratislava & Slovakia Games Will Be remembered as Great Britains comeback to Top Level & Rivalry inbetween two NHL Draft picks Hughes / Kakko ! WHO Ill Be The number one pick at Vancouver - NJD or NYR !
Великобритания снова начала играть в хоккей?! воистину ничего невозможного в этом мире не бывает! удачи парни на чемпионате, заставьте футболистов вами гордится!
Болельщики гордятся этой командой. Великобритания сделала невозможное и осталась в элите, отыгравшись с 0-3 с Францией и выиграв игру 4-3 в овертайме. Это просто феноменально и невероятно. Это просто было прекрасно, супер матч и супер развязка. Великобритания сотворила чудо в 2018 году, но оно рядом не стоит и его надо в куб возвести, что сделали в этом году.
Field hockey is literally only more popular because of the big population of countries that play it. Ice hockey would be way more popular. In fact way way way more if more Americans played it. But here in the USA we only watch hockey, we leave the playing to the canadians. We are shit. 4th every year smh
U know what I just love All of hockey 🏒 😊 and all the teams in all leagues playing and between all the world hockey teams too !I'm a hockey fanatics!!!

@@iAmAyoDigital basketball Is already known in UK. Not ice hockey. I doubt anyone in Britain knows wtf the nhl is
Wow Pow it’s huge in certain areas but in a lot of places no one gives a shit especially in the south. I play for a small town team and we beat the team from London 9-0
Ikr hockey is such a small thing here and should be bigger since we invented the sport ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So...who's here after the France - Great Britain game?
I'm a Yank living in the Uk and I'm proud of Team GB.
Respect from Slovakia ;))
Slovakia is a great team I have the jersey i hope you win
Slovensko je naj
@@bloodonmyboot5176 where are u from.
Burst into tears when we scored against Germany today. 25years in the making.
I really hoped you would make it at least to overtime
Canada sends it's LOVE to GB! Game on boys!!
I'm from Finland but damn lads I support you!! GO GB!!
Born in the UK, but growing up in Canada i have a huge sense of national pride seeing these boys make it to the big league. And also being born in the UK i qualify to play if you ever need a back up goalie to back up the back up!
england falls out back to 1 a
Great to see Something about GB Hockey ! Another English speaking country to join The Top 16 ! Well Done & Keep Up The Great Work !
@@chaosmarine979 England aren't in it🤣
I don't think that's how IIHF rules work!
You wouldn't qualify for GB under iihf rules it's a pain as we miss out on a few top players such as Danny Taylor, Nathan walker and Brendan perlini
respect from Finland !!

I’ve still got a minor dent in my ceiling from when I jumped up after Farmer scored.

Amazing fairytail story here. Hope that UK can start to embrace icehockey 🔥
It's only the media that hasn't embraced the sport. Arena teams here

Awesome! What a 4 years it has been.From consistently being the nearly men of the third tier to the very top table. What an incredible achievement.
awesome to see british ice hockey gain popularity, been a fan of hockey since the mighty ducks, i think that was most british kids introduction to it.
Such a great moment for GBR ice hockey.
brilliant documentary
Dare to Dream boys!
I'd love to watch this live but my baby and toddler have other ideas! Will watch later lol.

Good Luck boys! Would be nice if you've stayed among us for the next year as well. Greetings from Slovakia, looking forward to our match.
Great to see you at the World Championships guys, hope you'll be a permanent participant.
Great job all a tremendous insight into the programme - Pete, Adam, Corey, Andy and the boys go do our country proud #goosebumps

Let's go GB barmy army ,our young cubs today will become lions ,#PRIDE
I'm not here to escalate anything, but GB, Germany already played against Russia in Olympics final.
I think if you don’t underestimate your competitors like you did Denmark, you will be fine!
Just came to see how many people would confuse England with Great Britian!
good like from russia
They sick
Great britain 1:7Slovakia!!!
Eh, it's called Hockey, not Ice Hockey.
Outside of NA, yes it called Ice Hockey
We play two types of hockey...
New Name i’m aware but no one here cares about field hockey to be fair
Field hockey is literally only more popular because of the big population of countries that play it. Ice hockey would be way more popular. In fact way way way more if more Americans played it. But here in the USA we only watch hockey, we leave the playing to the canadians. We are shit. 4th every year smh
Great Britain hockey, isn't that an oxymoron? Come to Boston or Minneapolis and learn how to do it. Anywhere in Canada also.
@New Name You're rught, I was generalizing.
@New Name I saw Minn Duluth play at the R.P.I. christmas tournament in 1973 lol Yale is my personal fav college team.
Izlidos.golden gb.r y really understand ice hockey???
Brits will come and leave, business as usual
