@PaintedRagdoll It's ridiculous she's had to wait so long. Fingers crossed it goes well. My MIL waited over 3yrs for a knee replacement and in the end, she paid to go private.
@cardiffdevils I would have said Bownsy, but If the silhouettes are anything to go by, and you're doing line by line then the goalies are on the next line with Thommo. So Kontos, Brandt or Helgy.
The most capped netminder in national team history, the trusty backstop for the golden generation of GB hockey. Thank you for everything Ben Bowns. π«‘π¬π§
Itβs been a busy off-season for Cardiff Devils ππ

Good luck Ben in your final game representing GB. You've achieved so much over the years. You will always be remembered as a legend of the game. Thank you for some fabulous memories as a supporter. Enjoy your retirement... (hopefully not from the league tho) #GB1
After pulling on a GB shirt for 18 seasons, through the Under 18's, 20's and the Senior Team, Netminder Ben Bowns has announced his retirement from International Ice Hockey.
Thank you Ben!
Last game for GB today against a very good German side, it's also Bownsys last game representing his country. Fingers crossed he gets to play for one last showdown. Let's go out & put on a good performance for him, Dowd (also retiring) & all the fans that travelled & supported.

@TeamGBicehockey There are not enough words to describe what Ben has done for GB hockey... Absolute legend. Enjoy your retirement with your lovely family. Thank you Ben. ππ¬π§
@MummyB_ Good watch, especially hearing Ben being open and honest about the end of the season.
Fingers crossed they get a win and stay up in these final few games.
