Blackburn Hawks will be hoping that two of their former stars do not come back to haunt them when Paisley Pirates visit the Arena tomorrow night (face-off 5:45pm).

Former player/coach and fans favourite Bobby Haig will line up against Hawks in the Northern League Cup clash alongside another familiar face, netminder Colin Downy.

While neither side can qualify for the playoffs, the returning duo will certainly be looking for a victory at their former hunting ground.

Hawks general manager Konrad Tapp said: "They are a very good side. It should prove a difficult game, but we are more than capable of matching them.

"Although there is nothing left to play for in terms of position, both sides will certainly be playing for pride.

Hawks, who narrowly missed out on the English National Ice Hockey League play-offs, have just one game remaining this season - another Northern League fixture against Solway Sharks next Saturday.
