WHO WE ARE.

The Telford Venom are Telford's PeeWee Ice Hockey Club and was originally founded with an under 14's team in May 1988. Shortly following this, the under 12's and 10's also managed to get teams pulled together and start playing this game we all love.

The original names of the teams were

Under 10's - Telford Turtles
Under 12's - Telford Terrahawks
Under 14's - Telford Tiger Cubs

Since founded we have continued to field the three different age groups of Under 10's, 12's, 14's and also an Under 14's development team. It was in 2000 that the teams were brought under the same banner and all changed the names to the Telford Venom.

The teams train and play at the same Ice Rink as Telfords senior team - Telford Tigers. In fact several of the current Tigers senior players played for the original 12 & 14's team 'back in the day'...

Other teams that play under the Telford banner are

• Under 16's - Telford Rockets
• Under 18's - Telford Trojans
• ENL Team - Telford Titans
• Ladies - Wrekin Raiders
• Recreational team - Telford Spartans
• EPL Senior Team - Telford Tigers

The Telford Tigers supporters' trust ethos is to develop British players, to encourage development from within our own community and to provide opportunities for players to realise their full potential. Telford Tigers head coach, Tom Watkins, is also the head coach of the Telford Junior Development System with players such as Scott McKenzie, Declan Ryan, Greg Blais and Juraj Senko to name but a few assisting with on ice training sessions every week.
