A national monthly magazine covering various sports, including ice hockey. Closed after its September 1993 issue.

The school was the brainchild of Milan Figala, one of the first Czech players to play in the UK. Based in Scotland, Figala enjoyed many years of success as a player & coach with his hockey partner and friend Jim Lynch. Together they took the Ayr Scottish Eagles to some of their biggest successes. Figala's idea was to forge links with his home country, the Czech Republic and to give something back to the sport he loved so much. Figala and a hockey schools director, John Wright got together - Wright became the contact in England while Figala covered Scotland and the Czech Republic. They started by inviting Czech junior teams to visit the UK, competing with teams throughout England and Scotland. Seeing such commitment to the sport in the UK, the Czech people offered the opportunity to take young British players to schools/camps in the Czech Republic, to be coached by the very best. Since 1990, players from the Anglo-Czech Ice Hockey Schools have been selected to take part in the Czech junior program, and several young British players have taken advantage of the opportunity.
