Cardiff Bay Tigers
Medway MadnessWhy This Matters
Sport is better when the whole community shows up.
Cardiff Bay Tigers are eleven months old and already delivering a match night experience that South Wales has never seen before. A proper arena. A proper crowd. Real, competitive ice hockey.
On 9th August we want to go further, inviting sports clubs, schools, youth organisations, and businesses from across the region to come and experience it together. No matter your connection to sport, there's a place for you in the Vindico Arena on matchday.
Who We're Inviting
Everyone is welcome.
