Fife Flyers

The Fife Flyers, established in 1938, are the oldest professional ice hockey team in the United Kingdom. The team has a history of success through the ages, with over 60 Scottish and British cups and titles to their name.

2011 - Present
In late June 2011, the Fife Flyers were confirmed as having been accepted into the EIHL, replacing the Newcastle Vipers for the 2011-12 season. The Flyers struggled in their first season in a top-tier British league since 1996, finishing in last place and failing to qualify for the playoffs. They fared far better in their second season in the EIHL, recording a second-place finish in the Gardiner Conference before losing to the Nottingham Panthers in the playoff quarterfinals. Fife's third season in the league saw them take seventh place in the regular season, and reach the semifinals of the playoffs.
