Invicta Dynamos return to Gillingham this weekend boosted by the news that their home venue is back to full capacity.

Their home rink has been reduced to 50% spectator capacity this season due to ongoing maintenance - making many matches a sell-out - but those restrictions are now lifted and head coach Karl Lennon can’t wait to see more fans inside Planet Ice, Gillingham.

Lennon knows what a full-house feels like and wants his ever-improving side to enjoy the full experience. The Mos host Milton Keynes Thunder on Sunday (5.15pm) and have a cup final to look forward to - with a date in March likely but yet to be confirmed.

Lennon said: “We’ve got the possibility of a full attendance on Sunday and we can only encourage more and more fans to come out to the game.

“It has been fantastic in the rink, especially for the last month. I would only encourage people to come and watch if they can come.

“With that final coming, not only will it bring in the diehard fans that we have at Invicta, the hard-core, but it will also pull in some of the fans that haven’t been for a year or so, or whatever, for any number of reasons, the new casual fan who just sees we are playing in a final, and that is great as well.

“We want to get as many eyes onto that final and as many voices heard during it, that will be fantastic for us.

"It is a big asset that we have with that crowd at home against some of the opposition, it is an environment that not a lot of teams have on a regular basis and when that place is loud, it is special, we feed off that without question.”

The Invicta Dynamos are in the 25th year, having been established in 1997. It’s a long-standing sport in the towns, with the Medway Bears coming before them.

Lennon’s side have had a great month, dropping just one league point, after an overtime defeat to Romford Junior Raiders on Saturday. They held a two-goal advantage for much of the night, only to throw it away at the end after a 6-6 finish.

The Mos bounced back for Sunday’s trip to Milton Keynes with a 7-2 victory, completing a three-point weekend and sitting third in the NIHL South Division 1 table.

A restricted attendance has meant it’s been difficult for the casual fan to come along - with advanced tickets the preferred method - but Lennon hopes more can now come along and enjoy the experience.

The coach said: “It is a great spectator sport, aggressive, lots of goals in games, everyone gets to see something they want to see, which is not the same for every sport and it is a cool environment to be in.

“I have been blessed to play infront of huge crowds and it is special, I want the boys on the team to have that same experience.”
