Is Corey no longer involved at Dresden ? They've just appointed a new head coach and Corey doesn't appear on either the team's website or ep page.

Looks like the assistant stepped up to head coach in November, and has now stepped back again.

They can’t match being the FIRST team from the UK to win it!

He’s been at most of our games in the last month or so as a spectator. Would be nice for Logan to get his first competitive goal for us whilst Corey has the chance to see it

Wow! They won't get a easier chance than having the thing on home ice and still look like blowing it 😂

Need a win today against GKS, who beat Herning on p/s It can be out of their hands before they even play, if Nomad win in regulation in the first game they’ll beat devils on the head to head (assuming this is the tie breaker) even if the results go in devils favour rest of the weekend.

Well,after Nomad Astana battered Herning Blue Fox this afternoon, Cardiff can no longer win the competition. So yet again for another year, we are still the only British team to be crowned champions.I swear our achievement doesn't get the respect it deserves. Won all three rounds away from home too. For all the critics out there that constantly call it a Mickey Mouse competition,it seems pretty bloody hard for another Elite League team to win it doesn't it?

Had to play 3 rounds too. Fairly sure everyone since has come in at the 3rd round stage.

Yeah but the early round is a right farce though when you’re playing teams from Spain and Turkey etc. Brian Mcgrattan was laughing about playing a team from Turkey and even after they won the final Wiikman said on interview something like it was “no great achievement”. It was an achievement being the first British winner but being realistic there wasn’t a lot of quality in it that year.

Cardiff beat Katowice, so I guess Astana have won it with a game to spare?

I dont care what anyone says, we won it and no other British team has done since. For what it's worth, Beiberys Atyrau who were in that final with us were one hell of a team. 4 lines of bloody fast hockey players. Ritten were at home and could've won it if they'd beaten us. They didn't.

Iggy will never say anything nice about that CC win, might sound like he's giving Neilson some credit for something.

They didn't. You can indeed only beat what’s in front of you. It used to be very good quality years ago,just look at some of the teams who used to win it. Then it got dumbed down and more recently it seems to have improved again. But when I hear players and coaches saying it was no great shakes or easier to win than the Challenge Cup then that tells me all I need to know.

Panthers should have won the round in Amiens if it wasn’t for those cheating Ljubljana scumbags and if the pen shot win against Milan wasn’t a useless farce ! Ridiculous what happened there.

Must kill you that CN was coach lol
