An Isle of Wight ice hockey player’s been inspiring schoolchildren to get their skates on. 

Wightlink Raider Toby Cooley has been the latest team-member to take time off from the rink to teach pupils at Oakfield School in Ryde what it takes to become a professional player.  It is part of a scheme to encourage new players into the sport.
