guinness Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 I remember many years ago going a few times to the old ice rink in East Lane to see the Ice Hockey. The team was called the Paisley Mohawks. Were they the reserves of the Pirates or are they two separate Teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guinness Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Thanks for that HSS. Enjoyed reading it. I must have caught the tail end of both the Ice Hockey and the Rink as it would be about 1968/69 i remember going there. My sister used to go skating a lot there too .They used to have concerts that she always wanted to go to but the headline axcts always seemed to pull out just before they wrre dus.

shull Posted March 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 My Dad took me to see the Wrestling at the Paisley Ice Rink. Mick McManus and the rest of the famous grappling dudes. Also witnessed Professional 5 a side football getting played on the defrosted arena . I think Morton won that particular Tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted March 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 If it was only defrosted wouldn't that mean it was water polo you were watching and not football. Gie Slarti his joke book back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) This is the only interesting thing about ice hockey. For this year’s Paisley beer festival, Renfrewshire CAMRA is helping to mark the 70 th anniversary of the Paisley Pirates ice hockey team, with the local club set to feature on the pint glass issued to all visitors as part of their entrance fee.

zurich_allan Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Fun fact (or not so fun depending on how you look at it). One of my distant relatives is / was the infamous former Paisley Pirates player / coach Doug Marsden who vanished along with a pile of cash that was donated to the Pirates about 10-15 years ago. We're related in some way through my dad's cousin who moved to Canada in the 1950s, so 4th cousins or something similar. I only ever met the guy once or twice in the 90s. He's still listed as a missing person (presumed dead) after going to Falaraki on holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew Dougie quite well.He worked in Cafe Borgia to boost his Pirates wages.He was shagging one of the best looking barmaids,in fact the pair of them appeared on C4s The Big Breakfast on their "Wake Up Call". Dougie was certainly talk of the steamie when he disappeared I'd like to think he's still kicking about somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irate-Pirate Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Was a tremendous player, if I remember rightly he played an entire game because of injuries to other imports. Irate pirate could possibly say if I remember that correctly. I seen that a friend of mines husband ex Pirate Jamie Hammell was inducted into Peterboroughs hall of fame the other week there. Poz, can I recommend you for doing the artwork Can't remember that particular game, but sounds about right. Heard a good few stories about DM, some may be true, some not, but either way a "colourful character" would be a good way to describe him.

scrappy coco Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Sad end to an otherwise thoroughly enjoyable and exciting evening.. Can see myself going to many more Ice hockey games next season... Great entertainment.. It certainly beats the tedious pish I've had to suffer from St Mirren over the last 2 years..
