Caps Global Fan Series- Grant Green (Fife, Scotland)

The nation of Scotland has an interesting connection to the sport of ice hockey. With the sport originating from stick and ball games in the United Kingdom and the word ‘puck’ deriving from the Scottish Gaelic ‘puc’ (to poke, punch or deliver a blow), Scotland seems the perfect place for an Ice Hockey following. For 27 year old Fife resident Grant Green, his love of the hard hitting sport began when he attended his first live game, watching the Fife Flyers in the UK’s elite hockey league. “I fell in love with the faced paced, lightning action of the game” he said.
