Solway Sharks were crowned League Champions at the weekend, despite not touching the ice.
The Dumfries side, sponsored by Building Craftsmen, moved into an unassailable position at the top of the National Ice Hockey League North 1 Division on Sunday when closest rivals Whitley Warriors suffered a defeat at the hands of the Nottingham Lions, meaning Warriors cannot accumulate enough points to catch the Sharks, who had a free weekend, in the remaining fixtures.
Sharks have been beaten in league competition only twice this season, once by Solihull Barons and one overtime loss to Nottingham Lions, who unwittingly handed Sharks the trophy on Sunday.
