He does look the goods. But it's an inexact science, folks...

Seems like someone at EIHL towers reads this forum as now non of the teams Rosters for this season are available to see on the EIHL site.... could be just coincidence of course....

Looks like Panthers are going for small and quick this "season".

Tbh size isn't that much of a issue anymore . So having smaller quick forwards may be the way to go.. Will be interesting if the likes of Ellis, Dineen, Boivin and Carolosi impress Doucet

Well the squads seem to be building and rising nicely, think there is going to be some tidy competitive games ahead. Unfortunately us taffies ain’t involved but I will get my fix via some webcast games, with the added bonus of seeing some of our guys doing what they do best. Hopefully with 8 camera coverage the product should be pretty neat providing its director reads the game and feels the game. With it all coming from Nottingham where sight lines and camera positions are first class throw in the right commentry, Seth Bennett is one of my favourites being a good neutral guy with a good commentry voice it could be a winner. Anyway I can’t wait it’s hockey in the UK that’s all that matters, Stay Safe All let’s hope we all enjoy.

Sounds like the league will be quite competitive and Nottingham seems like a first class organization.

Too positive far too positive, take him to the tower lads, off with his head how dare you. You will be buying webcasts next if your allowed to run riot, how dare you. You will be backing the Panthers next you turncoat.

Hopefully with am empty areana and 8 cameras they take the opportunity to position the main one lower down. I also believe they've stated there will be home commentary for each team when classed at home in an individual game. Thats not meant as a negative post by the way, it does have the potential to be a great event with a great production.

Got to say, I'm loving Panthers recruiting for this mini tournament. Thinking outside the box, looking to the future, some cracking young talent in the hutch here. They will be chomping at the bit to impress, let's hope they do and that they want to return. I'm excited to watch. Not sure I was when it was first announced

It’s gaining momentum with hockey fans, we have been cheated of watching our sport, the sport, the best sport on the planet let’s get this thing on, let’s get our fix, and get a little sunshine in our lives. Never ever thought I would get a lift in life from Nottingham, but in fairness it’s on its way, and I can’t fault it. Let’s do this, let’s embrace it, and let’s enjoy it.

Cangelosi looks to be a superb face off winner. Looking at the Norwegian league stats from this previous season, he has a 65.1% win percentage from 209 taken, which is excellent. Dineen also looks useful in the circle winning 55.6% of 577. Hopefully they can be as effective for us.

Talbot rocked along at 56.3%, but no other player who took more than 150 face offs went over 50%. Lacho was under 40%. 5 Jan, at Storm, Panthers won 13 of 46 taken.

This guy won't be back 21/22 season going back to Norway signed for Stjernen Hockey
"The 26-year-old with an American passport comes to Stjernen after two seasons in Lillehammer. Here he has scored 81 points in 71 games. We know that we get a top forward who knows the Norwegian league well, and we are confident that Austin will be an important piece in our team in the future, says sports manager Treloar"

Don't blame Austin in the slightest. Better league and better prospects. I'd expect most of the others to return to Norway too

6 goals in the 4 games of semis and final, made him Panthers top goal scorer. Quality player.

You never know, players backing out of contracts isn't unheard of as we well know.
Can't see it happening, but perhaps after 5 weeks in Nottingham his head could be turned with the right offer on the table. We also have the bonus of being English speaking.
I'll be really honest I know little of the Norwegian league. How much better is it than the EIHL? Im guessing it's not miles ahead with these guys happy to pop over here. It's not like all of them that came and tore it up.
I cant see it actually happening but we can live in hope.
