The '''Invicta Dynamos''' are the senior, semi-professional, [[ice hockey]] team based in [[Gillingham, Medway|Gillingham]] in [[Kent]]. The season runs from September to April. They usually play their home games on a Sunday at 17:15. They share their home with the [[Invicta Mustangs]] whose colours are blue, white, grey and red.

==History==
The club was founded in 1997 replacing the Medway Bears as the senior team based at the Ice Bowl. The club originally competed in the [[EPIHL]] until the 2003/4 season when the club dropped down to the [[ENIHL]] due to a lack of sponsorship. Invicta is one of the larger clubs at this level and has enjoyed a period of sustained success including winning the [[ENIHL]] Grand Slam in 2005/6. The most successful season in the Dynamos history came in the 2001/02 season when they were the champions of the [[EPIHL]], winning the league and playoffs and losing the cup final to local rivals the [[Romford Raiders]].

The club's fiercest rivalry has traditionally been with the [[Raiders IHC]] and to a slightly lesser extent the [[Chelmsford Chieftains]], with the Dynamos competing in the same league as the two Essex clubs for its first six seasons. However more recently a healthy rivalry has developed with [[Streatham IHC]] due to the geographical proximity of the two clubs.
