We are proud to have established the North Easts only junior inline roller hockey team; Whitley Bay Seakings. The North East was once a hot bed of roller hockey back in the late 90's and 00's but due to closures of roller facilities the sport declined drastically in the North East. Thankfully we are bringing the sport back to the North East and our Seakings team have been recruiting players over the past 12 months and now will be representing the region, playing out of the BIPHA Central league in Sheffield for the 2022/23 season.
