It’s a no from me. I much prefer a standard league format, as teams before could finish higher simply because they were top of their respective conference.

Stick with the league format and increase the roster size from 19.

Definitely not, needs to be a fair league setup with an equal amount of games.

Definitely at least 20 on the game night roster.

I’d also like to see us adopt the European 321 points system.

3 for reg win.
2 for OT/SO win.
1 for OT/SO loss.

No from me, for more than anything else because of the number of times you face the same teams, especially with how the Cup is set out. Playing a few of the same sides 10-12 times a season gets real old, real fast.

Is this just a random topic or has it actually seriously been talked about in £IHL towers?

Just random from me Nathan. I wouldn’t be surprised if the people at £IHL towers brought it back against the opposite opinion of the paying customers.

Wanted to see what us folk in Steeler land thought about it.

I would like it back, but hear me out….it doesn’t change the current format of the league. So everyone still plays each other 6 times and league winners still the same. But teams are split into two conferences and a trophy awarded for the winner of each based on results within the conference. All previous league winners in one (Belfast, Cardiff, Coventry, Nottingham and Sheffield), all rest in the other. It would mean the smaller teams have something more to battle for in the run in (along with playoff placing). Say two or three are involved in a conference title run in, would give them something else to promote matches and maybe get bigger crowds in.
