Typhoons Ice Hockey

Find out more

• Training

  The Typhoons are based at the Fife Ice Arena, a 45 minute drive from St Andrews. The club runs a 1-hour high intensity practice session either on a Tuesday or Thursday evening, with transport provided to and from the ice rink for all members. Sessions vary weekly due to the arena availability.

  Training sessions are led by the student captains, all of whom are experienced ice hockey players and have been involved with the Typhoons since their first year at St Andrews.

• Competition

  The St Andrews Typhoons currently compete in the top division of the BUIHA – Division 1 North League, playing eight regular season games against Edinburgh, Sheffield, Nottingham and Leeds. The Typhoons also compete in the top tier of the BUIHA Nationals, which take place in Sheffield every year.

  In addition, the Typhoons also host The Jonny Wookey Memorial Varsity Game as an annual competition held between the only two Scottish representatives of the British Universities Ice Hockey Association (BUIHA); the St Andrews Typhoons and the Edinburgh Eagles. Hosted at the Dundee Ice Arena each year in front of over 1000 fans, the fixture is one of the biggest sporting events in the St Andrews student calendar.

  The game is played in memory of Jonny Wookey, a founding member of the Ice Hockey Club in St Andrews. After Jonny tragically passed away just prior to his graduation in 2012, the Wookey Game was established both as a tribute and a fundraiser for the Club. Tributes are also made to Kieran McCann, a first-year Typhoon who we sadly lost in 2015.
