David Simms Podcast Interview Part 2

In Part 2 of our Series 5 interview, David Simms continues his incredible Sheffield Steelers story. A key figure in the club's formation, David reflects on 30 years of dedication — still making the 180-mile round trip from Solihull to Sheffield Arena to this day. A born storyteller, David revisits one of the most infamous nights in British ice hockey history: Friday 9 February 2001, the Battle of Lower Parliament Street. With the Steelers on the brink of securing the SuperLeague title in Nottingham, chaos erupted in a game that has since become legendary. David also shares behind-the-scenes stories about signing Steelers legend Ken Priestlay, the best and worst owners in club history, locker-room controversies, European adventures in Omsk, Russia, and even meeting a Russian oligarch. If you enjoyed Part 1, Part 2 is unmissable.
