The Kings - Ducks games were fantastic; I’ve never seen the Maple Leaf in Covent Garden so rammed full of hockey fans. I only went to the Saturday game. I loved it great atmosphere too. I got interviewed by the NHL; they weren’t impressed when I said I’d rather have been watching the Leafs & Redwings 🤣🤣🤣

Why is it always the Giants and Belfast that gets these North American teams over. Its an easy sell given the huge amount of 'plastic paddies' that inhabit the east coast of the US, an area that, coincidently, has a large concentration of NHL teams.

Just read that the giants plan to play a NHL in a warm up game prior to the 2020/1 season. I've never understood why there hasn't been a attempt to bring the NHL series back to this country (the02) as it was a massive sucess back in 2007. It's a 7 figure sum to pay for the NHL team's amenities and insurance. Belfast have the links to get the outside support they need in order to do it.
