Invicta Dynamos coach Kevin Parrish believes his players’ anger over the club’s treatment by English National Ice Hockey League officials has fuelled their desire to triumph in the play-offs.

Invicta began their play-off campaign in controversial fashion by having to forfeit their home game with Bracknell because the Gillingham Ice Bowl wasn’t available on the date laid down by the ENIHL committee.

The decision has left Dynamos with little margin for error in their three remaining group games and they were emphatic 7-2 winners at Oxford City Stars last Sunday night.

Parrish (pictured) said: "The lads feel they have been dealt a bad hand because it wasn’t their fault that the Bracknell game couldn’t go ahead and it has made them determined to defy the odds and go and win the play-offs."

"They have been flying in training and it was a good performance at Oxford."

On Saturday Dynamos they are away to Bracknell, where they have already lost twice this season, before meeting Oxford in the return game at the Ice Bowl on Sunday night.
