Shocker. It's hard to re frame from negative mindset with this league when it is in such a downward trajectory.
We have to make sure the teams coming in are sustainable and we need to cut the dead wood.
We have potential but we need pragmatic league leadership.

Downward trajectory? Really? Sorry. I did write that a bit rashly and thinking about it we may not be going downward but we are on the knife edge stability wise and we won't be able to solve that by Willy nilly expansions. We are stagnant however. The league, cup and play off formats could do with a massive shake up. Don't tell me the CHL is a sign of progress either. We pay to enter and simply pad the numbers our. When we compete we shall have truly arrived on the Euro hockey scene. |

Is it really that much of a shocker though? Expect the unexpected & only believe it when you see it. It is british ice hockey afterall.
As far as the structural issues go theres been talk for a long time that the floor at Wembley arena would need to be lowered a couple of inches or so to enable a modern ice plant to be installed.
Its also been stated- in the ice hockey annual I think that Neil Black is/was having trouble assembling a consortium to run this potential franchise. They may or may not be the or part of the issues being alluded to.
Back at the start of April the Dublin council stated they werent happy with the plans submitted for the ice rink and shopping extension & cited a couple of issues. One being the potential traffic to and from events at said ice rink. Council gave them six months to modify the plans to their satisfaction. Otherwise the development will be thrown out.
So we should have a better idea on that come the start of October.....

They would be far better employed trying to bring up a couple more of the stagnant EPL teams I would have thought for long term sustainability. London won't happen now for a very long time and Dublin is just a non starter.
