The team line-ups for the Ken Armstrong testimonial game at Planet Ice Widnes this Sunday 2nd June have now been finalised.
The match is being staged to celebrate the career of popular cult figure Ken Armstrong who has decided to hang up his skates after 11 years with the Wild club and will feature a “Team Wild” – basically made up of current Widnes Wild NIHL team players, albeit with the odd twist - and a “Team Ken” that Armstrong has assembled featuring friends and former team-mates from his many years in the game.

Team Ken: #5 Sam Dunford, #7 Luke Brittle, #9 Ken Armstrong, #11 David Swanston, #12 Geoff Wigglesworth, #14 Josh Grocutt, #15 Lee Kemp, #16 Amanda Armstrong, #19 Calum Ruddick, #39 Scott Barnett, #44 Kohen Taylor, #47 Daniel Fay, #71 Jack Murray, #77 Scott McKenzie, #93 Shaun Dippnall, #96 Macauley Armstrong, #30 Phil Pearson (NM)
