So the CHL have removed Minsk from this years tournament due to travel concerns, what with EU closing airspace to belarussian airlines and vice versa.
Question is who they'll give the extra space to? While in theory they could give it to any league, I would expect Panthers and Steelers to be in with a shout. Panthers on the basis of coming runners up in the last Continental Cup, Steelers as they were the 2nd European qualifiers from the EIHL which is the highest ranked league with only 1 team (excluding Belarus for obvious reasons).
Any of the ITK crowd heard any whispers?

Sadly, not us or anyone else in the EIHL TBH I'd rather win the league this year and do CHL next year when I'm more confident in travelling. Had a great time going to the CHL games last campaign. |

Looking at the press release it's amazing how close we didn't come to getting this CHL place. So near & yet... |

Expect them to get through that.
Nice trip for the fans to northern Denmark, if covid restrictions allow it by November.

Yes- Denmark was good. Went there for my first GB jaunt in 1999.
Damn that mermaid statue by the sea/river is tiny.
