Bracknell Queen Bees
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bracknell Queen Bees is a ladies’ ice hockey club based in Bracknell, Berkshire, England. The club operates two teams: the Queen Bees, playing in the British Women’s Leagues premier division, and the Firebees, in the British Women’s Leagues division 1 (South).
The Queen Bees club was founded November 1987, when the rink at Bracknell opened. It has supplied players for the GB ice or inline / skater hockey teams in most years since. The Firebees team was formed later as a development squad in September 2005, entering division 1 for its maiden season in 2006 after 6 friendlies.
Both teams play in the same strip. Previously the Queen Bees played in black and amber (away) or black and white (home) horizontal stripes. To conform with new league rules the strip was altered in 2006, but the club colours of black and amber remain the same.
The teams are coached by Canadian John Hubbell and assistant Paul Burton. Hubbell is an ex-Olympic figure skater and World Championship hockey player.
