Iain Robertson: Playing for the Shirt

In this special episode, we sit down with Paisley Pirates legend Iain Robertson. From his early days skating at Kirkcaldy to becoming a standout in Paisley, Iain reflects on his journey through the junior ranks, rivalries with Fife, that iconic 1997 Scottish Cup win—and the legacy of grit and passion that defines the Pirates.

We also talk mentorship, locker room dynamics, and what it truly means to play for the badge. Plus, Iain helps us announce something very exciting… a LIVE show is coming!

In this episode, we sit down with the core leadership team of the Paisley Pirates: Captain Chris Turley and Alternate Captains Chris Wilson, Marcus Murdoch, and Marty Simpson.

Together, they open up about what it means to lead a team rooted in passion, grit and community spirit — from developing younger players and building team chemistry, to reflections on the 2024/25 season and how they’re shaping the club's identity on and off the ice.

You’ll hear about culture, character, and even a few career stats our captain didn’t know he had. It’s honest, unfiltered, and packed with insight into what makes the Paisley Pirates tick.
