They get their name from the ice hockey term for a player that is not a star, but is always there for the team.
"Play the position you're asked to play. Play the tactics you're given. Follow the Coach's decisions without question. Encourage your team mates to excel. Be ready when you're needed for as much or as little time you're needed. Enjoy your hockey. Play with the heart of a Grinder!!!" qv. 'Fatal'
Training is usually on a Tuesday evening at Braehead Arena at 20.00, although the team also use the ice at Kilmarnock Galleon Centre for training nights when the Braehead Arena is not available.
