That is dedication mate. Did my sums in the off-season and would have to got to double the games I already go to for an ST to be cost-effective!archibalduk wrote:What is it with these hideous novelty jerseys?!
On another note, I caved and have renewed my Flames season ticket...

Money to burn haha did you like the pun I slipped in there
I doubt it. I think I got to about four or five last season. It's a bit too expensive to go to too many and it means trying to kill time in Guildford for much of the Saturday as I have to arrive early in case of any flight delays. I was thinking I'd just put the money towards watching streams, but I cancelled my Premier Sports subscription instead (the EIHL coverage is not that great really - better off with the clubs' streams IMO). I'd like to get to more games next season, but it costs the equivalent of nearly the cost of the season ticket per game for the travel and hotel (on top of the cost of the season ticket) which is madness and why I wasn't going to renew. But I have a cracking seat and don't really want to give it up.Calv wrote:Do you think you'll get to many games next season?
Maybe with your season ticket renewal they'll be able to afford to repair your seat!archibalduk wrote:But I have a cracking seat

Looks pretty goodMWE wrote:Steelers have signed Christoffer Bjorklund who was last playing for Mora IK.
Do any of the swedes here know of him?I don't know of him. It seems he has mostly been a depth guy in Allsvenskan at best.Calv wrote:Looks pretty goodMWE wrote:Steelers have signed Christoffer Bjorklund who was last playing for Mora IK.
I can't see why you can't follow both. It's just the rather unpleasant people on THF that say you have to follow one or the other. Though I suspect Storm will be more fun to watch.Calv wrote:Looks like big decisions for me next season, as I'll probably be moving back to Manchester

I was planning on picking & choosing which games I go to for both teams. Phoenix are likely to be closer, but I tend to enjoy EIHL games more than EPL games. I'll probably try to get to a select few EPL games (Flames, Steeldogs is always a good game, MK, Basingstoke & Telford), and then aim to get to as many Storm games as I can as wellarchibalduk wrote:I can't see why you can't follow both.

(except the audience) I hope to see GB i the world championships some day! 
Dunno what you call them.. where Italy, Ukraine and those are? Are GB with them?We're still there in Europe!nino33 wrote:The scraps remind me of the fights from "the old days" where guys stood toe-to-toe and lets 'em fly
But it's a dying art..In the World Championships we've choked the past 2 years in WC 1B and have been about 4/5 minutes away from gaining promotion to 1A only to throw it away. This year we lost out to Ukraine, the previous year we lost to Lithuania and Korea gained promotion. We've got the quality to get promoted, and I think we could compete with Poland & Korea but we seem to lack the mentality in the final game.jhcjobpb wrote:Looks like any top European league!Calv wrote:Also, this promo is pretty cool
I haven't followed what we call the B-class countries championships (sorry, don't mean to offend!)?!

We also have a lack of focus on junior development which is also hampering us, although it looks like things might be (slowly) changing. We've now got new leadership at Ice Hockey UK (governing body) who seem to have a good idea of how to move forward. We're also appointing a national development office which is a good move as well.
We lost 12-3 to Russia, 4-0 to Germany, 10-2 to Italy, 8-2 to Canada and 10-0 to Austria
