THREE Bradford Bulldogs players helped Great Britain to win the Ice Hockey UK Under-16 International Tournament at Dumfries Ice Bowl.

Harrison Walker (netminder), Jacob Lutwyche (forward) and Jordan Griffin (defence) were joined by Bradfordian Kieran Brown (forward), who plays for Iowa Wild in the United States.

Great Britain defeated the Netherlands 10-5, Belgium 13-2 and Spain 11-1.

Bulldogs coach Andy Brown said: "I was very proud when we had four players selected from Bradford – and even more so now that the team has won the tournament.

"They are hard workers and excellent players and we will be fully behind them for their next international tournament in Madrid at Easter."

The Bulldogs hope that the success of the quartet will attract more children to the sport.

Bradford Ice Arena has a beginners' stick-and-puck training session on Wednesdays (5.30-6.15pm) at which any child aged six and upwards can attend as long as they have good skating ability.
