Slough Jets are an ice hockey team from Slough, Berkshire, England playing in the NIHL South Division 1. The team was founded in 1986 after the construction of the Slough Ice Arena in Montem Lane in Slough. With the help of Gary Stefan who had previously been with Streatham Redskins, the Slough Jets were formed.
The Slough Jets are one of the few clubs in the UK who from their foundation have continued to play to the present day without interruption or a change of name. They currently play in the English National Ice Hockey League (NIHL) South 2 Wilkinson Division, which is the fourth tier of UK hockey.[1]
The Slough Jets' home rink is the Slough Ice Arena, which is also known as the "Hangar", 2018 saw the arena undergo a complete renovation.
