Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Tomorrow afternoon Cardiff Devils, the holders, meet Murrayfield Racers in the final of the Benson and Hedges Cup, British ice hockey's premier knock-out competition. Since recruiting the Canadian John Lawless in 1986 as their player- manager, Cardiff Devils have gone from strength to strength. As last season's outstanding team, the Welsh side, with the prolific goalscoring Canadian Hilton Ruggles, start as favourites. Murrayfield, however, have been topping the Premier League for most of the season and are captained by Tony Hand, who was the League's leading points scorer last term, the first time a British player has won this award. The Cup final will be preceded by an All Star Challenge match.
How to get there: Sheffield Arena, Broughton Lane, is signposted on A6178, one mile from junction 34 of M1 and two miles from the city centre. Tickets cover both matches: pounds 10 adults, pounds 8 children under-16. All Star Challenge faces off at 11.30am, with the Cup final at 3pm. (Tel: 0742-565656).
