Power breaks, anyone know why these are happening arcoss all games now? I'm assuming fairness so all games are the same whether on tv or not?

Sounded from the webcast that these were a new addition for the season.
Presume it's as you say, so all games are equal (TV or not). Maybe streamers will find a way to sell the space?

Absolute nonsense and ridiculousness from the EIHL. 🙄 |

The article also goes on to say that the seven teams using powerbreaks are 'trialing' it and can stop using it at any time so long as they give 28 days notice.
So if anyone doesn't like them ( Though I get why they are there for tv games & potential adverts on webcasts) then tell Panthers on all their social media platforms.
Then we will see if this new Panthers management regime continues to listen to its fans as it has done thus far.
It is pretty bizarre but typically EIHL that some teams are using powerbreaks and some aren't.
It should be all or none.

Seems like 'if' the clubs don't like them they can change, typical of if someone wants them. Talk about an even playing field. Not.
Apparently its to avoid clubs taking an advantage that rules are brought in as stated, well clubs could (what way I'm not personally sure), and that is the reason you don't allow for the opportunity in the first place.
What's trialling all about? You either do it or not surely.

Weird. Not sure of the point of them, and in any case, it should be all of nothing?

Which is what I suspected. All businesses need money I understand that.
Though what I will say that unless they are simucasting the adverts on both the webcasts and inside the arena on the jumboteon then those of us who actually attend games in person are effectively now going to be waiting around (albeit briefly) and have our enjoyment and flow of the game interrupted just so the club can target adverts to those who can't won't or areunable to attend a game - Yes I understand for various reason people may not be able to attend.
I thought paying customers attending games were the priority of a business/ sports club such as this.

Coming back they should be handled by the stewards.

Not sure why thats a problem when the hockey is paused. Because then they come back after it’s started again ! Let's be honest, these people would need to move at some point during the period anyway. They likely use the opportunity to go to the toilet or the bar as they would have a few minutes later. 90% of experienced fans get annoyed at the clueless wonderers whilst the game is in play, me included. Most experienced fans also wait for a whistle to go to the toilet or bar and understand when others move at this time to do the same. Then there is the minority who have this mythical dream that everybody could and should be in their seat before period start to the hooter sounds. Something that is completely unatainable and fanciful. Aside the fact some people genuinely just need(or have children who need) the toilet unexpectedly mid period, should everybody all try and go to the bar and toilet within the period breaks the arena would probably need to at least double the number of bars and toilets in the building. Be curtious, be polite, do your best to move quickly and keep your trips to a minimum, thats all anybody should expect. God only knows how these people would cope at Football or any other number of sporting events. |

It’ll most likely be soon after somebody gets badly hurt or worse by a puck because they either didn’t see it coming or weren’t even looking, just like what will happen at a T20 cricket match one day !! |

Cardiff retweeted their story on twitter saying they were doing the same. Not sure if they'd already stated this. |
