The opening paragraph on the Sky Sports news page with regard to Davy Phillips move to the US reads.
"Great Britain defenceman David Phillips will not return to the Sky Sports Elite League after signing for Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League (AHL)."
Is that news or just a 'turn of phrase' ??

I thought the BMI had a several year sponsor?

The Sky Sports Elite League looks like a Speedway thing to me.

So why use it on the Hockey page in a hockey article mate?
That's what has tweaked the interest.

Fair point but I think it increases the likelihood of an error having been made (two leagues with the same name involved with the same sponsor seems unwise if they're to avoid any confusion). Hope I'm wrong, though. |

It's still in the info bar at the top of my browser window although I note it's been removed from the logo alongside the team links.

The Sky Sports Elite League looks like a Speedway thing to me. One way or another.They (sky) should not be advertising themselves as assumed sponsors to Ice-Hockey.(UNLESS it's the first Elite boo-boo of 09-10 not to get this news out.) Imagine if our fans 'mistakingly' put up something of Sky /Elite on there own website.The person/s concerned would soon be repremanded for use of material/copyright. |

If Sky Sports are indeed the new sponsors of the Elite League, the deal is probably something along the lines of the Clubs paying a reduced amount to Sky to broadcast the games, compared with what they paid in previous seasons - or perhaps they will still be paying the same, if Sky have decided to defer an increase to their charges, in return for the sponsorship deal?  |

Not far off a possible mark there. |
