UK ice hockey champions the Dundee Texol Stars will be paying a visit with an international flavour to the University of Dundee on March 13.

Team-captain Jan Mikel from the Czech Republic, Teeder Wynne from the USA, Martin Witta of Sweden and Italian Patric Lochi will meet staff and students from the Centre for Applied Language Studies to tell them about the game and their experiences of coming to live and play in Scotland.

One lucky student will also have the opportunity to dress up in full ice hockey kit.

International Officer Kim Burns said, "There are many international players on the Texol Stars team and they are always keen to meet people from their own countries. It's a perfect opportunity for them do so at the University of Dundee."
