Bring on the Steelers.

Just got back from watching the Panthers give the Blaze a lesson in how to play ice hockey, I felt embarrassed for the poor Coventry fans at one point.

An excellent advert for British ice hockey, hopefully it'll be a little better covered next season when Sky (hopefully) start showing games again.

A shame the Manchester fans there today who had their little protest inside felt the need to start insulting the fans of the teams that'll still be in the EIHL next season as they left. Sour grapes are one thing chaps but ripping into the fans (often families with kids) for decisions that were made beyond their control is hardly their fault. Not having enough fans to sustain a team at the top level of British hockey though is hardly the fault of other teams either.

Hoping for a good game tomorrow and the rusty buckets returning north with a runner-up medal.

Steelers?

Panthers?

These pathetic attempts to mimic American team names are utterly nauseating - and confusing

So which one is Manchester? And which one is Coventry? And who are the Blaze?

Coventry Steelers? Manchester Panthers? Coventry Panthers? Manchester Steelers? Or is one (or both) of them the Blaze?

WTF is the EIHL?

And its ICE HOCKEY in this country (this is not Canada)

Spare us your solipsistic sports bollx - if you want to celebrate achievements in the sport you are interested in, don't assume the rest of us are equally interested

As an attempt to promote your sport on this forum - FAIL

Don't like the sport yet felt the need to comment, how very STW. Nottingham Panthers have been so named since the 40's btw, only a few years after the NHL came into being. Incidently the sport of ice hockey was in no small part pushed into being as a competive sport by, shock horror, a British person (who the Stanley Cup is named after). Service can now resume on this mountain bike (a sport largely created, devoloped and run as an industry from the continent of North America) forum. How do you spell 'ironic' btw?

Ahhh ... Nottingham!

How stupid of me not to have worked it out from the post title.

So it's Nottingham Panthers

So who are the Steelers?

And the Blaze?

And where does Coventry come into it?

And how do they choose these ridiculous, posturing team names?

And what exactly is "panther"-ish about Nottingham?

Why does the badge of England (and Scotland) football teams have a lion on them? Its hardly a creature thats common in the UK. Once again, felt the need to comment on a thread about a sport you could easily see and have admitted you have no interest in. Interesting.....
