Welcome to the website of the Altrincham Aardvarx Ice Hockey Club!

The Altrincham Aardvarx are a recreational non-checking ice hockey team, aimed at beginner-level adult players of both genders. We started out at the Altrincham rink, and played there until the rink was closed down in March 2003. We currently train at Blackburn Arena on Saturday nights, on the ice from 11.15pm to 12.45am

The Aardvarx started as a group of Adult Novices who managed to get some ice time to give this ice hockey thing a go. That ethos has persisted and the training sessions are still run as a place where Adult Novices can come and try ice hockey.

If you are interested in joining us please contact us via the team e-mail: kevinrutter@myway.com

Please note: new players ice with advance agreement of the Head Coaches, so please don't turn up without contacting us and getting prior agreement in reply!

For game bookings, or would simply like further information, please contact our Game Coordinator Kevin Rutter at kevinrutter@myway.com
