\u201cWe need to better ourselves and never be satisfied with that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

This is dedicated to the grandfather of Vikings defenceman, Jamie Parker, may he rest easy\u2026<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s fancying a game of ball hockey then? \u00a0Well, to be honest, Benny Tring, the Head Coach, and Peter Allen, the Captain, of the Nottingham Vikings do, they really do.<\/p>\n

After all, it\u2019s been close to a year now since they last slapped their sticks and smashed a ball around their Clifton Sports Centre home, their season having ended back in March 2020 \u2013 covid has knocked so much.<\/p>\n

The Vikings have also only been in existence themselves a matters of seasons, they being born from the embers of the Reapers and went on to claim an undefeated \u2018Tier Three\u2019 Central Conference Championship and Play-Off-winning campaign in 2019, one which afforded them promotion to the BHUK Tier Two Central Conference.<\/p>\n

The Reapers, immediately before the Vikings formation, were set up as respective A and B sides, and, although the A\u2019s were highly ranked in the national leagues, the feeling was that there was little option but to disband.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Vikings came into existence following a little break and it\u2019s a case of so far, so good for us,\u201d began Coach Tring.<\/p>\n

\u201cGranted we started off in tier three, and we knew then that, if we didn\u2019t win it then we knew that there\u2019d be something wrong,\u201d continued Captain Allen.<\/p>\n

As It happened, they were successful in that first season with relative ease and with it earning promotion, which to the delight of Tring and Allen whom coincidentally, are long-term friends off-court.<\/p>\n

Following on from promotion and, in adding new personnel to what was already a successful set up, a new league will always bring new challenges, greater expectations and, unfortunately for the Vikings, the rare taste of defeat \u2013 it was however their generic wake-up call.<\/p>\n

Tring and Allen though have been around both ball hockey, football, and ice hockey, to know how the game works, the former having played recreational ice hockey whilst the latter having played football, Tring adding: \u201cI stumbled across ball hockey when I was on an away trip to Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe bought some sticks, and some balls, then, we got back to Nottingham, we tried Rushcliffe and it just went from there.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s certainly been a constant learning curve along the way, especially coming up with differing game-plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe both however see the similarities between ball hockey and say, five-a-side football (with a much bigger squad) and players from that background, it\u2019s the same kind of positioning, and they\u2019re better suited to the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what makes my job relatively easy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another \u2018similarity\u2019 Coach Tring sees in ball hockey is that of American Football, well for his utilisation of game-plans that is and, for a Miami Dolphins fan \u2013 they play in the NFL\u2019s AFC East and last claimed their holy grail, the Super Bowl, back in 1973 with a 24-7 victory over the Minnesota Vikings (the Dolphins also boast an undefeated season, the only NFL side to do so, the previous year, 1972).<\/p>\n

As is with all sports there\u2019s also a rivalry, sport wouldn\u2019t be sport without rivalries now would it?<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, the big rival has to be that of the Hull Riverkings,\u201d added Peter Allen, the Vikings defenceman and captain.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat and we have a local rivalry with the Nottingham Wolves, they\u2019re the leaders of, and instrumental in, ball hockey in the area and we\u2019ve played them before, especially in our Reaper days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heartily laughing in response himself, Coach Benny Tring immediately adds: \u201cAnyone that stops me from winning trophies and affects my win-loss ratio.<\/p>\n

\u201cGame-wise though I\u2019d say the Sheffield rivalry is always a good one to have and moves over from the Panthers, and Hull, for obvious reasons, however, my biggest rivalry is that with myself and keeping complacency out of the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, and having been inactive for a good ten months, and with a stop-start, minimalistic training programme due to the ongoing, global pandemic, Coach Tring\u2019s main criteria, other than his players\u2019 fitness levels, has been keeping them interested whilst also trying to attract new players into the fold for the eventuality a new season does start \u2013 something that\u2019s not looking likely until after March\/April 2021 with ongoing restrictions in place.<\/p>\n

But they\u2019ve been busy the best they can be, especially having gone a little soft and needing to right some wrongs from last season, the arrival of the pandemic preventing a Play-Offs push.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis situation has allowed myself, and the team, to push the reset button,\u201d insists Benny.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been able to get back to basics, rebuild, and have brought in some new people, and all that without the added pressure of having to be game-ready.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition we\u2019ve been doing some sessions with Dan Powell, a Paralympic judo athlete from GNR8 Academy (Leicester).\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course it\u2019s been hard keeping players interested, even though we\u2019ve been kept updated by BHUK along the way,\u201d continued Peter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Dan brought to the table was a breath of fresh air, dietary requirements, fitness training, and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s changed mind-sets and people\u2019s attitudes in life and has certainly helped with the mental health aspects.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis competitiveness, and the fact that he\u2019s an Olympic athlete he has four years between major competitions, so he\u2019s spoken about how to utilise the longer time restraint and we\u2019ve slowly been building up from there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, moving forward, whenever we start up again, I want us to achieve that unbeaten season again, then look to maintain that the following season as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I want us to become a household name, and to be a name that is feared within the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

Right now though, it\u2019s all about the waiting game, and a long one at that, as they ready themselves for a new season, whenever that may be.<\/p>\n
