I remember Panthers holding 2 game worn shirt raffles for Zion Penner's jerseys and gave the money to a struggling Newcastle Vipers, who proceeded to use the money to try and get Penner suspended!! Given that back then Danny Stewart and Jamie Longmuir were running things (into the ground) at the Vipers such behaviour by them was hardly surprising!

Looks higher than I first thought... Hedden = 5'10" and leaning well forward. Hughes = 6'2" and standing up straight. Not much you can do to reduce the height on that short of chopping Hughes' legs off at the knees!

It's on Freesports again at 1300 tomorrow. Or did you mean the offer of a lift to Sheffield?

What a fantastic game and even more so as a televised one.
Thinking of travelling up to Sheffield on Saturday night, anyone want a lift?

Now the only question is... will he help to drag the Steelers/Thommo up, or will they drag him down? Or, given rumours about his attitude in the locker room, will he drag the Steelers further down?

I'm hearing there was crowd trouble tonight. Any truth?

The fact that some clowns on here think Cardiff are not doing well just proves what muppets you are. 1 - Use of The Cage Forum is not compulsory. 2 - Unlike The Hotel California, you can both check-out and leave if you so wish. 3 - Alternative opinions are both available and equally valid as yours.

Saw this tweet today from Aaron Murphy, needless to say he’s had a few replies from panthers fans re our game against Bern. To @cardiffdevils players, staff & fans - you can hold your heads high. I’ve been calling @championshockey now 5yrs, & last nights game v Bern was most complete effort by an @officialeihl team in the competition ever. Superb game of hockey He is likely just playing to the crowd. If he honestly thinks that then perhaps he isn't the knowledgeable hockey pundit some people seem to think he is?

Orange warm-up jerseys guys? Interesting colour choice! ‘Roko Red’ according to the club, absolutely disgusting, they’ll do anything for sponsor money... To be fair it's quite obviously red when seen close-up, it's just the Arena lights wash it out a bit. It's the same reason those green jerseys that Panthers wore a few seasons back looked so awful in use. Personally I've always associated Roko with the darker burgundy colour that is both on their logo and all over their website.

Cardiff falling short again just makes the Panthers team from last season all the more baffling.

No, it's a case of the arena not allowing it. Blame the poor management at the arena. Its nothing to do with the Arena management, its all on Gary Moran. There is a cost implication to hanging banners above the Arena floor and its a cost Gary doesn't want to pay. Instead they dress up the Stage End banner as being our 'tradition'.

...only 1 got form as a leader is Stevie Lee... He may have worn the 'C' but I wouldn't say he has form as a leader. In my eyes he has merely been a placeholder for a more competent Captain.

My understanding of this was that it accumulated a sizable amount of money in the bank which the management saw and in all probability thought we want that so folded the club on some pretence that they could provide a better transport service... My understanding is that it fell apart from within due to various cliques arguing amongst themselves (including about the sizable amount of money they seemed to be stashing away for reasons unknown). I was a member of the old Supporters Club for just a single season. Never have I experienced such a cliquey, hostile to newcomers bunch of people who seemed most concerned as to what they could get from the Panthers organisation for their 'loyalty'. It's not often I praise Gary Moran but if he was instrumental in bringing about the end of the NPSC then it's perhaps one of his best bits of work.

Ice Sheffield is a terrible rink. Completely disagree. The C-Value (and therefore rake of the seating) at Ice Sheffield is far better than that at the Sheffield Arena, leading to a far better view and experience (as spectators are closer to the ice) at the former. The ice quality at Ice Sheffield is also far better than that at the Sheffield Arena, despite the former taking an absolute hammering by all manner of ice sports and user groups.

Well I had the choice to either watch a pre-season game for nearly full price or take home nearly £300 for a single night shift.
I want some new hockey skates so didn't have to think too hard...

Did Panthers end up being the first team to get the full squad into training this year? I believe so. Given that Chernomaz has previously been involved with team management as well as coaching I'm hoping that this is his influence. Perhaps the Front Office has been given a kick up the backside by someone who knows what he is doing?
