Re: Steelers signings and departures
Thanks DSL, I thought there was something in place, but wasn't sure how it worked. I guess the issues relating to this are: 1. Football clubs like Sheff Utd spend a lot of money on their academies, so you can understand why there needs to be a compensation mechanism. In ice hockey it's not really t...

Re: Steelers signings and departures
2. He might develop further and become an import quality netminder. Who is to say when he gets to that level he won't move to Belfast or abroad, meaning the cost we've put in is effectively in vain? Doom How do you think other EIHL teams feel, when an arena team sweeps up a player effectively devel...

Re: Storm to leave Altrincham !
I was part of that 17245 record crowd. It was a marvellous experience. I really hope this works. It would be fantastic for the league. I don’t know how often the AO Arena is booked for events now. Will Storm be able to play there at weekends? Until they can actually fill the AO, which may be some y...

Re: So what happens now..?
Gutted.... now what happens... My prediction is Fox surviving the cut based on a semi final, A final and 4th being just about acceptable to Tony Smith and Fox having a year left on his contract... My preference is, no more Vanilla hockey and we look to get in a new coaching staff that have a differ...

Re: GAME THREAD. Steelers v Storm: PLAYOFF SEMI-FINAL: Saturday 18th April
You'd like to think the neutrals would get behind the tournament underdogs, Glasgow. It's worth highlighting just how much of an underdog they are; they finished 8th in the league and hence had to turn over the league winners to get there. When was the last time the 8th placed team has made it to t...

Re: GAME THREAD: Clan v Steelers: Sun 5th April
Bringing it back to the Clan and not really having a better place to put this.... While we have @DiscoRay Disco Rays (A great contributor towards our forum btw) attention. I would like to draw attention to the fate of Clan backup goalie Lucas Brine if possible and certainly gets Disco Ray's comment...
