The Stanley Cup play-offs begin this week, with the last 16 NHL teams ready to battle their way to the Stanley Cup Finals in June. The Washington Capitals are firm favourites to lift the trophy this year. The 2016 World Ice Hockey Championships also get under way later this month, with Great Britain taking part in the Division One Group B competition held in Zagreb, Croatia. To coincide with these events we’d like to hear about your own experiences of ice hockey, both on the ice and from the stands.

Do you live somewhere that considers ice hockey as their main sport? Was there someone special in your life who introduced you to the game, or did you pick it up of your own accord? Whether you regularly attend NHL games, have tickets to this year’s play-off games or have a story to tell from your own experiences on the ice, we would like to know more about your favourite team and why the sport is so important to you.

You can share your ice hockey pictures and memories by clicking on the blue ‘Contribute’ button on this article.
