The Sydney Ice Dogs (formally Western Sydney Ice Dogs) is an Australian semi-professional ice hockey team from Sydney. Formed in 2002, the Ice Dogs are a member of the Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL). The Ice Dogs are two time Goodall Cup champions.

History

Foundation blocks

Top level ice hockey in Western Sydney dates back to 1981. The Blacktown Flyers were a foundation member of the New South Wales Superleague (NSWSL), playing out of Blacktown Ice Arena. Following the closure of the Warringah Ice Skating Rink in the '90s, NSWSL powerhouse, Warringah Bombers relocated to Blacktown. Blacktown in-turn withdrew support for the Flyers and a semi-private owned team, the Blacktown Bullets, were founded and joined the league in place of the Flyers. In 1993 the NSWSL's collapsed and Blacktown joined the newly formed East Coast Super League (ECSL) in 1994 and competed in the ECSL until its own demise in 1999.[1] The Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL) started in 2000. The Bullets did not join the new league, so for the first time in nineteen years, Western Sydney did not have a representative team in the top level of Australian hockey. Western Sydney's next chance came in 2002 when the AIHL decided to expand the league from three to six teams.[2]

Western Sydney era

The Sydney Ice Dogs was established in 2002 as the Western Sydney Ice Dogs and entered the AIHL for the 2002 season. The Ice Dogs joined the league along with fellow expansion teams, Melbourne Ice and Newcastle North Stars.[2] The Ice Dogs were the second Sydney based franchise to join the league, following foundation team, the Sydney Bears. The team was assembled and funded by John Wilson, owner of the Blacktown Ice Arena, and his son Anthony Wilson.[3] The geneses of the Ice Dogs team came from the former Blacktown Bullets.[4] Chris Sekura was named inaugural Ice Dogs captain.[3]

The Ice Dog's first AIHL season saw the team finish mid-table in third place, just missing out on the championship final match for the top two teams. Slovakian, Branislav Kronika, top scored for the Ice Dogs with twenty five points.[5]

In 2003, the league introduced a new finals format that included the top four teams from the final league table, facing off in semi-finals and then the Goodall Cup final. The Ice Dogs reached the finals weekend in 2003 after finishing fourth in the regular season. They won their semi-final, defeating the league premiers, Adelaide Avalanche, 4–1. In the team's first appearance in the Goodall Cup final, the Ice Dogs were defeated by the Newcastle North Stars 1–4.[6]

In 2004, the Ice Dogs went one better and claimed the AIHL championship and the Goodall Cup for the first time in the team's history. They matched-up against the dominant North Stars, who won all but one match in the regular season, in the final for the second season in a row but this time they defeated them 3–1.[7]

October 2007, the Blacktown Ice Arena closed down leaving the Ice Dogs without a rink for the 2008 season.[8] The Ice Dogs moved to Baulkham Hills and played out of the Sydney Ice Arena for one season as they looked for a new home. During 2008, the Ice Dogs finished the regular season runner-up and qualified for finals after missing out the year before. Western Sydney defeated the Melbourne Ice in the semi-finals in overtime before coming up against Newcastle for the third time in a Goodall Cup (championship) final. In a score line replicating the 2003 final, the North Stars ran out a 1–4 victory over the Ice Dogs thanks in large part to the individual exploits of Mickey Gilchrist.[9][10]

Sydney era

In 2009, the Ice Dogs underwent a team re-brand, changing their name to the Sydney Ice Dogs, changing colours to teal, orange and white and updating their digital platforms.[11] The Ice Dogs also moved to their new home in Liverpool at the Liverpool Catholic Club Ice Rink.[12]

In 2010, Australia's first ever National Hockey League player, Nathan Walker, made his debut for the Sydney Ice Dogs. Walker's debut came in a 6–2 loss at Liverpool Catholic Club Ice Rink against Ice Dog's rivals Newcastle North Stars. Walker got an assist in the match for a total of one point.[13] Nathan Walker played a total of seven matches for the Ice Dogs during the 2010 and 2011 seasons.[14] He broke up his calendar year between playing U18 hockey in the Czech Republic and senior hockey for the Ice Dogs in the AIHL.[15] His time with the Ice Dogs culminated with his selection for the Australian national team (the Mightyroos) for the World Championships Division 2 in 2011, which was hosted in Melbourne at the Icehouse. The Mightyroos, along with Walker, went on to top their group and win gold and promotion to Division 1 for the following year. Walker was selected by Australia's head coach, former Ice Dog Vlad Rubes, as the team's MVP for the tournament.[16]

The Ice Dogs next success came in the 2013 season. The Ice Dogs won the H Newman Reid Trophy for the first time by finishing top of the regular season table. The team reached the Goodall Cup final and met Newcastle for the fourth time in the team's history. The Ice Dogs defeated the North Stars 6–3 to claim the team's second Goodall Cup. Australian national team goaltender, Anthony Kimlin led the team to the title and was named finals MVP.[17]

Following their 2013 success, the Ice Dogs won their first Wilson Cup in the pre-season NSW cup for 2014. A 4–2 victory in the cup final over the Newcastle North Stars at Sydney Ice Arena secured the cup.[18] The Ice Dogs were then shocked in April ahead of the new season. On 14 April, Ron Kuprowsky and his two assistants, Colin Downie and Brad Andrlon, all abruptly tendered their resignations with the Ice Dogs.[19] In May 2014, experienced head coach, Andrew Petrie, was announced the new Ice Dogs head coach.[20] Under Petrie the Ice Dogs finished fourth in the league and reached the finals for the fourth season in a row. The Ice Dogs were defeated by eventual winner, the Melbourne Mustangs in the semi-finals held at Melbourne Icehouse, Melbourne.[21] At the conclusion of the season Petrie left the team with one season remaining on his contract to take up the vacant position at AIHL and NSW rival, Newcastle North Stars.[22]

In 2015, the Ice Dogs went through a season of upheaval. For undisclosed reasons the team moved two home matches against the CBR Brave away from Liverpool to Phillip Ice Skating Centre, Canberra.[23] There was a mass shakeup of the player roster with a number of veteran team stalwarts leaving.[24] The Ice Dogs iced a lot of junior players in 2015 under the guidance of former Oman national team head coach, Anders Jespersen,[25] and from the middle of June, Mario Passarelli[26] and Tim Flynn.[27] On the ice, the Ice Dogs suffered, losing 27 out of 28 matches. This included six matches where the opposition scored more than ten goals.[28] The ice Dogs did defeat the Sydney Bears in a shootout on 13 June 2015 to claim their only win and points of the season,[29] however, due to multiple breaches in the number of players travelled with, the Ice Dogs were penalised by the AIHL and had three competition points taken away, leaving the Ice Dogs on 0 points at the end of the season.[30]

In 2016 the Ice Dogs began to form a new direction for the team. Interim head coach, Tim Flynn took over as general manager in the offseason before a permanent new general manager was announced on 3 March 2016. Former Ice Dogs player, Jason Juba became the new GM and he was keen to re-connect the team to its roots and its early years form.[31] The Ice Dogs then appointed former player, Vlad Rubes as new head coach.[32] While a number of former players re-joined the Ice Dogs including, Tomas Manco, David Dunwoodie, Andrew White and Scott and Todd Stephenson.[33] New team president, Chris Blagg, resurrected the Matt Clark Shield Match. The Matt Clark Shield was formally hosted by Blaggs former club, the Warringah Bombers and contested between 1995 and 2001 to fundraise for leukaemia research.[34] Matt Clark was a former Bombers and national youth team player who died in 1995 from leukaemia. The Ice Dogs won the 2016 Matt Clark Shield match, nine goals to eight, against the Adelaide Adrenaline.[35]

In 2017, the Ice Dogs celebrated their fifteen-year anniversary. To mark the milestone the team produced a special edition logo and a retro style playing kit that was modelled on the Warringah Bombers. The Ice Dogs also brought back their original colour scheme of blue, burgundy and white.[36][37] Negotiations had occurred between team president, Chris Blagg, and general manager, Jason Juba, and the newly renovated Macquarie Ice Rink in the off season that resulted in a deal that ended the Ice Dogs time in Liverpool and Western Sydney and moved the team to Sydney's Northern Suburbs in Macquarie. For the first time the Ice Dogs would share a home with Sydney rivals the Bears.[38] Ice Dogs president, Chris Blagg was then appointed as head coach and he steered the team to their best finish since 2014, fifth place, one spot outside of qualification for finals.[39]

In 2018, the Ice Dogs once again had a new head coach. Andrew Petrie was appointed for the second time, having last coached the team in 2014.[40] The Ice Dogs lost their GM with Jason Juba stepping down from his role at the team to focus on family and business ventures. Juba was credited with rebuilding the team over the previous two seasons.[41] The Ice Dogs also secured the services of 2015 AIHL MVP, Geordie Wudrick to bolster the scoring power of the team. Wudrick had previously spent one season with the North Stars and two seasons with the Brave.[42] The Ice Dogs pushed for a finals birth but they lost to the Mustangs in the final match of the regular season and missed out on qualification by one point.[43] The Dogs did find success in the Wilson Cup, claiming the trophy for the second time and the first time in the new configuration of the Battle for Sydney (whoever wins the head-to-head in the regular season between the Ice Dogs and Bears.[44]

In 2019, the team again challenged for finals but came up just short, finishing the season in sixth place.[45] Ice Dogs' British forward, Tim Crowder, finished the season as the top point scorer in the league with 77 points while Canadian defenceman, Dylan Quaile, was named AIHL MVP and Defenceman of the Year after posting 63 points from 26 matches.[46][47]
