The Paisley Pirates ice hockey team has skated off with some treasure thanks to Glasgow Airport’s FlightPath Fund.The amateur team, based at Braehead Arena, plan to use their £1,000 grant to buy safety kit such as helmets, visors and gloves for a junior development project.Run in partnership with the Glasgow Clan professional team, the development programme will help children from five years and up learn the basics of the game as well as teaching them about health and well-being.Marie Cadenhead, chair of the Paisley Pirates’ Supporters’ Club, said: “We’re very grateful to receive this fantastic award from the FlightPath Fund.“The aim of introducing the development programme is to engage more young people in ice hockey and to ensure there is a passageway available to them to advance further while learning about teamwork, health, physical fitness and well-being.“The protective equipment required to ensure we can do this in a safe setting is expensive, so the £1,000 made available to us is very much appreciated.”Don't miss the latest headlines from around Renfrewshire.
