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. ![]() |

With FIVE increasingly pushing back their NHL ice hockey time slots to 3-4 am, I keep hoping that some UK terrestrial station will start broadcasting UK ice hockey games. I need my hockey fix. If I could be assed, I'd go see manchester Pheonix matches. But it is a bit out of the way.

I keep meaning to go see the Nottingham Panthers, but I'd much rather Leicester have its own facilities for a team.

Channel M doesn't appear on freeview until after the digital switch over, whenever that is. But I'll keep a look out for it.

He's beat up some great fighters. He laid a masterful one on Corson as I recall.

Do you know anything about hockey fights? Corson was a man that could handle himself against most anybody out there, and did. He's taken on some great fighters and won them.
Cairns was a freak. Early days he lacked balance and coordiantion but once he managed that aspect of his game, he was easily top 5. At the time these two played each other, Cairns was the better fighter.(Better than Belak, is what I'm saying) |

Corson was a man who could handle himself against other skilled players who could fight. Going against the true heavyweights in the league at the time he'd get killed.
And trust me, I'm a hockeyfight expert. Cairns has never been a better fighter than Belak. Belak has lost 4 fights in the past 3 and a half years. He's beaten every name out there. |

Cairns while at his peak was easily top 5. Belak, until perhaps this season, had never been there before. As for Corson, I agree he isnt a HW. He can fight them, and did. But he was very easily one of the best middleweights, light heavies out there, no question. This man could change hands, and change them up quick. When you said he wasnt a great fighter it sounded like you were bashing him is all. |

Fucking hell, Godard and Colton Orr really hate each other it seems. Everytime they up against each other. Don't even wait to touch play before this fucker hits off:

Belak sucked the last few years, due to his fighting style and the fact he didnt play all that much. His enforcing duties were not up to par.
You are way overrating the Albino. |

Pittsburgh might hate NY, I dunno lol. It's just like most sports rivalry's, games against a division rival is gonna be more serious then when you play a team not in your division.

Haven't watched any for ages...local team is Sheffield Steelers.
They're apparently moving to my home town (Rotherham) into what is called the YES! Project, in about ten years time. |

So are they trying to help domestic players with that maximum 10 imports? No mention on that, wouldn't they try to big that up?
I'm considering buying a Coventry Blaze season ticket. But, going on my own is fucking lame. But still deciding it. |
