I remember last time there was some dude with a load of post-it notes, I hope he's still there.
Which group are the Devils in?

HK Mountfield (named after a lawn mower) Turku Bern (by default as Cardiff can't have two Swiss teams)

What a fantastic draw, especially Bern #1 for attendance and one of the biggest stadiums in europe along with being the best team in Switzerland

The city is easy to get to, only two hours from Geneva, Zurich or mulhouse airports.

It's a very good draw for the travelling fan. Prague is just over an hour from Mountfield on the train.

Forgive my ignorance but do we know the dates of any of these games yet or will that be arranged at a later date? I'd like to prebook some time off work as soon as possible!

Don't think we know yet, they'll have to have discussions etc. All we know is the date restriction I think: www.championshockeyleague.net/news/luck-of-the-draw-groups-known/2896

Right I'm definitely going to Bern to watch us play. Will there be an away fan group who find the best deals etc. that I should get in touch with?

It's complicated when you start booking flights and reserving hotels. I would think people will make theirr own arrangements and swap ideas.

That's what it's there for "panthers fans travel". This is exactly the sort of thing the club should be doing to help their fans.

Like I said, it's a question of logistics. Unless Panthers Travel want to charter a plane, then any airline won't allow provisional booking of flights, while us fans decide whether we want to go. All of the trips are too far by coach so I'm certain they won't get involved. I also can't see Nottingham Panthers getting involved either, they haven't so far on the European trips, except for the return coach one night in Italy. People are quite capable of booking flights,hotels, match tickets etc without having some-one do it for them. I went to Ghent in 2015 for the Davis Cup Final, there were around 4000 GB fans there, all sorted their own travel, hotel and match tickets even though there was only approx 1500 officially available to GB.

Think probably just a case of getting in contact with fans over this forum/ fb to see who is going and then sorting a FB group for it.
