Good for them, was good fun when we hosted that round however many years ago.
Entering at that stage, and at home, gives them a great chance at winning it too. Looking at the other teams there's nothing you'd think they wouldn't be able to get a result against, assuming Keefe assembles a decent roster of course.

Belfast will host a good group there. I fully expect Ritten to be the team that joins that group, but no reason why Belfast cant make the final

It'll be interesting to see how a Giants CHL jersey would look.
I wonder what flag they'd use or would they seek dispensation to go without, or would they use the flag of the 4 Provinces even though by IIHF standards they are under the British banner as part of Team GB and not part of the Irish setup.
I know they had Team GB in Belfast in what was a great tournament but none of the other EIHL sides used the main flag and just used their own.

Therefore they'd be OK with the NIrish one. |

I think Don was referring to the politics of NI, if they use ulster flag/Union Jack they risk upsetting the Irish nationalists etc. They’ll probably just leave it blank so not to upset anyone. |

Can’t they just forget the flag and play in Orange ! 🤣 |

Yeah it was more the political side.
And yes, we did have the Scottish flag.
