Winter Varsity
Ice Hockey is one of the 30 sports contested in the Varsity series between the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University. The Match is traditionally the finale of the Winter Varsity series, taking place in February alongside Skiing and Snowboarding.
In previous years this has been held at IceSheffield but in 2010 this match was played at the Hallam FM Arena in front of a crowd of 4000 spectators. This made the 2010 the largest varsity sport event ever hosted by the Sheffield universities, and second only to that of the Nottingham Mavericks in terms of numbers. Sheffield Hallam University are the current Ice Hockey Varsity champions, as well as Winter Varsity champions overall for the first time having won the 2010 varsity match 7-4.
