How would you feel.....if we were playing Sheffield in the Challenge cup final,their Brit starting goalie went off the ice injured after only 30 seconds and they put the no1 import goalie in goal ? Obviously teams would have to bring in a stop gap back up whos also British. Like from the lions or even a rec player. This would be the only way to make some teams didnt find an excuse to get thier import on the ice. I think ghis idea as awhole is intersting. But its not as simple as it sounds. Phew,even more complications. I wouldn't want to be a coach if this idea came in,there's enough complications already without adding extra. This whole thread is about giving a Brit back up a chance. Who would want to be the second Brit back up to the first Brit back up. 😩

For it to work in those scenarios you'd need some sort provision whereby if the import goalie had to come in, or if a team chose to put the import in if the Brit was getting blown-out, then you'd sacrifice a nominated import outskater off your roster. However, the logistics of the EIHL sorting something like that, the likelihood of certain teams bending rules to suit, as well as the doubling-up of games you mentioned and potential de-valuing of the CC leads me to think that there'd be absolutely no appetite for something like this at EIHL board level ultimately.

Indeed....it's a dead duck.
