Elite Ice Hockey League

Wild shot in the dark here.

But are there any fans of the British Hockey league here? I'd hope there are, but doubt it. I like ice hockey, but don't see much NHL and only see Slovak matches when over there with the missus, apart from that I was detached. But have recently discovered my local (30+ miles away! lol) team Coventry Blaze, and I was hooked.

It's not of amazing level, but it's far closer to the North American style than European, which for me is a plus. I like the rougher style rather than a more technical game. Yeah we have loads of 2nd rate Canadians and Americans, but apart from a few Euro imports here and there, we have some OK players.

Well, at least we're giving it a shot and getting 2,200+ each week (even more at places like Sheffield and Nottingham). It's a pro league, and I hope it sticks around and doesn't die out, especially in this time of no monies.
