Deeside Dragons ice hockey club appeal for sponsors
Deeside Dragons are now reaching crowd numbers of almost 500 on match nights, and 700 during games against Widnes after regrouping from having their facility used as a coronavirus vaccination hub.
MP Mark Tami recently revisited the club at Deeside leisure centre, having last visited management in 2022, and lauded its progress, including a revamp of the changing room to align with professional facilities.
He said: "It's been great to meet Jake and Mike today and see the progress since my last visit.
"Deeside Dragons are going from strength to strength and are giving back to the community's young people.
"I would encourage any businesses who are in a position to do so to consider supporting them."
Jake Witkowski, one of the team's two permitted professionals and a former USA NCAA Division I player, has taken on the role of business manager, focusing on youth team development and sponsorship.

He said: "Ice hockey is the most attended indoor sport in the UK, with its rapid growth trajectory suggesting a promising future.
"With 130 in our junior club we're well placed to be at the forefront as the sport continues to develop.
"We aim to create opportunity for young people through structured sport, personal development, and accessible training programmes."
Despite ice time costs being comparatively lower than other rinks, the club would like more funds for exciting investments like Hudl software, which would facilitate training improvements.

Major city's abandoned '90s shopping centre and £3m plans to reopen it
The Wheatsheaf Shopping Centre, in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, opened in 1991 and closed its doors for good at the end of 2020 due to the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic Eerie photographs from inside an abandoned shopping centre evoke scenes reminiscent of the classic 1970s zombie film Dawn of the Wheatsheaf Shopping Centre in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, permanently closed at the end of 2020, a casualty of the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. Since the closure, the once-bustling mall has remained eerily frozen in time - mannequins scattered throughout, with shoes, clothing, and furniture still visible in some shop windows. Urban explorer Jake captured the haunting scenes during a recent visit. He shared the images on his Facebook page, Exploring With Jake The creepy pictures showing mannequins, locked up store fronts, goods still in the stores and even what appears to be discarded ammunition make it appear like the set of the classic 1978 film Dawn Of The Dead. The zombie movie was directed by horror maestro, George A Romero, and follows a group that have taken refuge in an abandoned shopping mall which they eventually try to escape will fighting off hordes of the invading undead. It was later remade in a 2004 version directed by Jack Snyder. Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, urban explorer Jake said he found wandering around the empty rooms to be a "creepy and surreal" experience. The Wheatsheaf Shopping Centre opened in 1991, and its announced closure in 2020 sparked anger and disappointment from both shoppers and traders. The centre, which housed local stores such as Fizz Bomb and Russell's Cafe, lost a number of key tenants since 2017 including Wilko's, Ryman's and New Look. The centres bosses, MCR Property Group, said a 'nationwide shift in shopping habits' meant people had stopped shopping in town centres. According to Rochdale online, prior to its construction, the site was used by many businesses including a tea merchants called Tower Place as early as 1885. Dating from 1910, the site was a woollen mill, iron foundry and, in 1976, The Famous Army stores, Cradock's footwear, Coombes footwear and the White Lion Hotel. However, the shopping mall is set to make a comeback as plans for the abandoned space have been revealed, giving the venue a completely new look. Residents in the surrounding areas could benefit from the development of a new banqueting hall and events venue. The Wheatsheaf Centre, currently spread across multiple floors, offers the opportunity to repurpose each level for different uses. Plans propose transforming the fifth and sixth floors - previously home to the library - into dedicated event halls. These spaces would accommodate a range of functions, including pre-wedding celebrations, wedding receptions, business conferences, and public gatherings. The lower hall is expected to hold up to 280 guests, while the upper hall could accommodate around 180. Rochdale Council has also submitted proposals to extend the existing multi-storey car park, which would allow for direct stair access from parked vehicles to the venue. The property was originally listed for sale through WT Gunson, and was subsequently bought by DHA Corporates Ltd for £2,950,000. "We're thrilled to share that we're embarking on an exciting journey as the new owners of the Wheatsheaf Shopping Centre in Greater Manchester," the company's LinkedIn bio reads. "Currently undergoing extensive renovations, Wheatsheaf is poised to emerge as a premier retail destination. We are dedicated to creating an unparalleled shopping experience for our future visitors. "From stylish boutiques to dining options, Wheatsheaf will soon offer an enticing array of amenities to explore."

Bala man shares how foster carers gave him 'secure home'
Jake, now 26, was just eight years old when he began short stays at foster carer Sian's house. The visits, which lasted a few days at a time, were filled with football games in the garden and competitive Wii Sports sessions. Jake said these visits felt like holidays, and he always felt part of the family. He said: "In the past, if I said I was in care, people's instant reaction would be to say 'I'm sorry to hear.' "But they shouldn't be sorry. "I see it as a really good thing to be in care because it gives young people a better life, a better opportunity at doing something they probably would never have done otherwise." Jake continued to visit Sian's house throughout his childhood in care. While studying sport nutrition at Liverpool John Moores University, Jake's circumstances changed and he contacted Sian and her husband Owain, who welcomed him into their home on a permanent basis. With their support, Jake has gone on to establish his own business as a personal trainer and now lives independently in Liverpool. Jake said: "If I have any problems or issues, they are my first point of contact. "I see the whole family just as sort of my family now. "I see them as my siblings as well." Sian said: "I'm so proud of him. "He's driven. "Obviously I'm proud of what he's achieved, but I'm proud of so much more than that. "He's got clients, he's successful in his business but for me I take more pride in the young man he has become and that he has allowed all his experiences to shape him. "I'm so pleased to see that he's able to maintain relationships and that he sees us as his family." Jake's story comes as part of Foster Care Fortnight, which takes place between May 12 and May 25, 2025. The fostering community in the UK is celebrating the power of relationships. Foster Wales is appealing to recruit an additional 800 local authority foster carers by 2028 to address this need. Alastair Cope, head of Foster Wales, said: "Foster Care Fortnight always offers a brilliant opportunity to celebrate the people who create lasting change in the lives of so many children in Wales. "Every fostering journey relies on strong, trusting relationships to create the stability within a loving home that all children deserve. "Whether between a foster carer and a child, a child with their foster siblings, or between a family and their social worker, these relationships open up new possibilities for a child's future and help support them into successful independent lives."
