Genuine question, what do you non-steelers fans make of our goal song?

This is just a random thought I’ve had right now but I wonder how fans of other teams feel when they hear our goal song of “woosh it’s behind you”

I didn’t know if it would be seen as annoying given how it is essentially a consistent reminder as to them being scored on and us bragging about how we say we’re the best team in the league - not to mention how repetitive the song is and alongside the hand actions, I can see how annoying it can get

Edit: I just want to say, I’m not posting this with the intent of winding anyone up - I’m just genuinely curious how other fans react to the goal song

How much to run a side?

How much would it cost to run a side in top league in UK, travel, sqaud running /renting ice rink?

What's a rough cost to build a 8 to 10k ice ground?

Having lived in north east most my life and now Yorkshire, will. There ever be a team in the top league again from north east and where would be best for this durham or Newcastle?

I know whitley warriors and Billingham both have good fan bases for the level they are at.

Booking tickets - Ice hockey colours only

Hello,

Looking to attend my first EIHL game at Belfast next week. When booking tickets some of the seats say ice hockey colours only. Does this mean I need to have a giants top to get in or can I wear normal clothes aslong as they are one of the colours the team plays in?

What block is the away tickets @ Sheffield.

Devils fan here moving up to Sheffield on Saturday. Would love to catch up the game but I don’t know what section the away fans sit in - can anyone help? The Steelers website isn’t great.

How good is the NIHL

Hi, is anyone familiar with the skill level of the NIHL? I played Jr. C hockey in Ontario, Canada. How good do you need to be to play in the NIHL.

And does anyone have contacts for any teams?

Thanks

Sheffield arena

Going to the sheffield arena Saturday as an away fan following the devils.

What are the prices like for beer and food inside the venue? Just so I can gauge whether to eat beforehand or eat during the game

Thanks

Team Signing Question

I'm going to my first team signing on Sunday, was just wondering if it's considered rude to go to a full team signing and only go to 2 players?

Steelers Parking

I’ve always parked in the arena with a pre bought pass. Next weeks game car park is sold out and I have no idea where to park as I travel in from the sticks so public transport unfortunately isn’t an option.

I’m also coming straight from work so won’t be able to be super early.

Could anyone recommend somewhere to go as I’m clueless?

Xmas Ideas for the mrs

Hi all, hope everyone's doing ok! I have a question for you guys and girls. I've only started to watch the Cardiff devils for the tail end of last season and the beginning of this season. This sport is absolutely wild and all the fans seem to be so nice and kind to each other from what I have seen, that's not the point of this post...

I'm looking for a Xmas gift for the Mrs. She's been a devil's fan forever as her dad was watching Ice hockey back in the '70s. I'm not too clued up on gifts that would suit her regarding to Ice hockey. I was looking at some of the game worn shirts but I'm looking for something a little bit more personal

Any advice would be grand 🤞

New Team GB branding

https://icehockeyuk.co.uk

What do we all think about the team GB Ice Hockey rebrand? I think it looks really smart, and I hope that the Elite League will consider a rebrand to bring itself a bit more up-to-date.

Were The Edinburgh Capitals a Liked Team Before They Collapsed

I used to be a big caps fan and I remember having a great time at games always talking to players like David Rutherford (nicest guy every btw) but I don’t have a clue if the Caps were a team that was liked in the EIHL before the team lost the Ice?

What is wrong with the clan?

Iv been following the clan for a year now iv really gotten into hockey I love the sport and everything about it. Last year for the clan was a horror show with the team and coach Jason Morgan last year, we didn’t even make the playoffs. I had high expectations and hopes for this season new coach Cory Neilson with a lot experience and a whole new team with some talented players yet we just can’t seem to work well together and get some momentum going. it’s the same thing every game the other team scores in the first period and we fall apart and get pumped every time. Does anyone have an idea why this happening are we just a shite team or is there something else going on in the locker room and behind closed doors?

Belfast likely wish their flight was delayed after the Panthers tell them the time is 5 past the Giants!
