Storm Kathleen leaves Sheffield Steelers fans strandedStorm Kathleen leaves Sheffield Steelers fans stranded
Kathleen A group of ice hockey fans were left stranded in Northern Ireland at the weekend after flights were cancelled because of Storm Kathleen.
Eleven Sheffield Steelers supporters flew to watch their team play two games against Belfast Giants.
But their attempts to get home on Sunday were thwarted when strong winds caused the cancellation of two flights.
They arrived home safely on Monday – although one of the group admitted the trip had been a “headache”.
Dean Quartermaine said the group had been “left to their own devices” at Belfast City Airport after the cancellations, before eventually transferring to Dublin Airport to catch alternative flights home.
