With today's news can someone check on Glynn.. (wannabe) 🤣 No doubt he will be delighted with the prospect of witnessing live streamed UK ice hockey with Brit players involved. What fervent UK hockey fan wouldn't be? |

Apparently the CHL don't have an EIHL entrant listed for 21/22 so the Inferno think Steelers are trying to take their CHL spot. They are a funny bunch down in South Wales.

Credit to the 4 clubs involved for sorting it out. Indeed. A huge turnaround has occurred here somewhere. It's very impressive. |

With today's news can someone check on Glynn.. (wannabe) 🤣 I’m here buddy, and looking forward to this thing happening, and will certainly get the webcast just hope it comes to fruition now. Hopefully it may just be a step towards bigger things to come. Do you think the Brits belonging to the other sides will merge in with these 4teams, it would be a logical thing to do helping towards the GB future games. Yes that would be a plus for me,get to see some homeland hockey, and hopefully wear out the opposition if we are lucky enough to get a proper season later in the year. We live in hope, in the meantime as my old muckers would say, Stay Safe All. Happy Hockey Days. |

Then they can add 8 imports. Then all remaining Brits who want in will be drafted. |

Each club can choose 5 Brits from last year then the rest will be in a draft to take place next week. 24 games plus 3 game final. It's better than nothing and we have hockey to watch, all good with me. |

Have teams even got 5 Brits anyway Panthers: Whistle Gospel Betteridge Perlini (if he wants to play) Lacho Tetlow Hazeldine Kelsall Steelers: Phillips x2 Dowd Shudra Graham Warburton Brown? O'Connor? ? For Brown and O'Connor as they left so might not be in the 5. Not sure for Cov and Storm but I reckon they teams can do it. Suppose it also depends on the definition of Brit and Import. Connelly? |

Great news overall.
Suprised Cardiff didn't find a way to be involved. I know funding is different for the different nations, but im suprised they arn't being bankrolled to enter anyway.
I think those involved have a difficult challenge getting pricing right for the webcasts. This will be the main income for the teams so its going to need to be priced for that, but the flip side is how affordable it is.
A spread out behind closed doors season would be reasonableat around £10/£12 a game. In tbis instance though that'd be a minimum of £120 in around 4 weeks just to watch your own teams round robin games.
What is reasonable? £100 for all 12?

I believe Innsbruck can't qualify for the playoffs so Sam Herr should be available, and Scott Conway has been released by Allen in the ECHL. Would he qualify as a Brit in the draft ?

Is this just a filler OR going to be professed to be a great competition win like the petty conferences of old? Remember it was said that we did not have a Grand Slam of a season because the conference was not taken by us. Are we looking forward to another 11 games versus Sheffield? Hang on I've counted that wrong... 7 |

Teams play each other twice .. then onto the semis and best of final series . Not according to the EIHL page. They say it's 24 regular season games, so you play each side 4 times. |

Panthers performance and the aquarium-like Sheffield plexiglass aside, I didn't think the 20-20 was too bad. It was interesting to see a new format being attempted and something like that would do well to fill the 'pre xmas event' that the B&H cup final used to fill.
Anyways, back to the present, by my reckoning these are the unaffiliated GB players that will be eligible for drafting:
Ben O'Connor
Scott Conway
Evan Mosey
Matt Myers
Steve Lee
Mark Richardson
Paul Swindlehurst
Ben Bowns (if his season in the EBEL is done)
Robert Farmer
Liam Kirk
Ben Davies
Depending on the rules they've set out there might be some others out there - I've just gone with 'club not participating', 'released' or 'playing overseas' here

Who's willing to bet good money that Sheffield get #1 pick and panthers 4th and it's all decided behind closed doors 🤔🙄
