2013–14 Invicta Dynamos season
For the 2013-14 season the Dynamos competed in the NIHL South Division 1. They had a very strong start to the season, going 13 games unbeaten, including a 7 game win-streak. This spell of early promise included home & away wins over league title-contenders Wightlink Raiders in the Southeast Trophy & ENIHL Southern Cup and an emphatic 6-1 away win against a formidable (and eventual quadruple champions) Chelmsford Chieftains - the Dynamos first win in Chelmsford since December 2009.
