ISLE OF WIGHT, UK – American Forward John Sarno joined the Wightlink Raiders of the English National League in the summer and in doing so made his first foray into British ice hockey. Sarno was due to join the Invicta Dynamos last summer, but didn’t for reasons listed in a previous article. Sarno took time out from his busy days of playing Fifa 10 on his PlayStation 2 with flat and team mates Danny Scout and James Udell to have a chat with PHN on life so far. “I’m loving it here. The people are great and the team is fantastic and there is a great atmosphere surrounding the boys in the locker room. We’ve just come off a bad weekend for the club what with losing to the team I was going to join and then not playing at all due to the kit van getting lost. It sucks that the league have said the game will go down as having been played and awarded to Haringey, but thems the breaks and we have to move on from it. It was a horror weekend for us and for me in particular as I wasn’t feeling 100% over the weekend. It wasn’t as horrific as some of the movies me and the boys enjoy watching though!” said horror film buff Sarno. Sarno was also very complimentary about his team mates and coach “Everyone here really respects Jeremy Cornish (Player/Head coach) both within the team and the community around the rink. He always tries to gee us up even when we’re goals behind and has played some great shifts and leads from the front on the ice”.
