He comes from a place with one of the most idyllic names you have ever heard – Paradise Valley, but is it as good as it sounds?

He’s played hockey in front of 113,000 people (not a typo!) so not too dissimilar to the Storm Shelter.

He’s put on the skates in pretty much every corner of the globe and he’s only 25 years old.

He is Luke Moffat, the Manchester Storm’s new number 9, and he drinks tea . . . . .

Luke speaks with Lee Middleton for The Forecast as we get an exclusive pre-season interview to find out what it’s like winning a gold medal for your country, how different hockey is in North America, Scandanavia and Australia, and which returning Manchester Storm player was a former team mate playing for the East Coast Selects.
