OXFORD City Stars ice hockey team go on their travels this weekend with a double bill of action.

They face an English Cup game at Birmingham Rockets today (5pm) and an English National League fixture at Slough Harrier Hawks tomorrow (5.45).

Stars will be without Swede Peter Nyman, who has returned to Basingstoke Bison in the British National League on loan, with a view to a permanent move.

Stars are already looking at possible overseas replacements.

On the plus side, James Cameron Jnr has now been given the all-clear by his doctor to play again after a shoulder injury which has sidelined him for the opening part of the season.

His father, coach James Cameron Snr, is shuffling his lines, moving Steve Cameron and Danny Turner on to defence to release Paul Donohoe to offensive duties.

Marlon Williams makes his delayed debut while Daryl Williams returns from injury to bolster the defence.

Stars beat Birmingham 7-6 at home recently and are confident of doubling up, but Slough are something of an unknown quantity.
