Refereeing

The EIHL will remain an absolute joke as long as the zebras stay. Out of all of the referees in the league there’s, maybe, three that I don’t think are horrifically bad.

It’s not even that I think they are “against the Devils”. I think they are just inadequate and unprofessional. They don’t control games which leads to potential injuries and they make terrible calls that ruin games.

Belfast fully deserved to beat us in the Playoffs last year but twice in OT the stripes missed the Giants having too many men on the ice. It was so blatant that even the commentators on Premier Sports were pointing it out. It is the EIHL playoffs, they have to do better

Total noob needs help, pleae

How does the EIHL work? Just generally, but also: When are the last games before the season ends and how far in advance can you book tickets? From what I've seen the season ends in April which coincides with my mates birthday. He's a big fan of the sport and so I thought it would be a cool idea but I can't see any information online on dates/matches in April. Any help and guidance would be appreciated

Challenge Cup needs to go

We are just over 2 months into the season and I feel we have played the same teams 100 times already.

Clubs are now promoting Christmas and New Year games against teams we have played so many times.

How can the format change?

Add in SNL & Nihl teams but have rules that eihl teams must have 3 brits on the ice at all times ?

Do you collect Team/Player merch/memorabilia?

For me I've recently got in to collecting player photos and getting them signed at events and also new to collecting game worn jerseys. Looking at getting game pucks but can never seem to find any. Who or what do you collect?

What would you call a brand new team from a new location?

I know the talks of new teams or teams joining back in to the EIHL are always happening. But what if a brand new team joined the EIHL/NHL, where would they be from and what would they be called? For example Leicester are a pretty sporty city yet I don't believe they have ever had a hockey team? Surely that would be a good location despite the threat of the other sports? Or Liverpool/Bournemouth/York/London area based/Return to Newcastle? Anywhere else?

Looking for a classic Giants Varsity Jacket

Hi all, I've been scouring online trying to find a certain Belfast Giants Varsity Jacket (pictured) for a Christmas Present. Nowhere seems to have it so I figured I'd ask here, if anyone has one from back in the day would you be willing to sell it?

Xmas ideas update!!

Thank you for all the ideas! I spoke to the mil who said that port rush is a beautiful place and that my Mrs loves it there so I went and booked the flights, the double header for Belfast/Cardiff for all 4 of us as well as the Airbnb. Gutted I couldn't get into the actual away section as it looks like it's all sold out but I'm pretty sure I'm next to them (I really hope anyway)

Thank you all again for the ideas!

She's going to go nuts 😆

So how’s everyone in the Panthers & Steelers families doing today?

It was good to see the league doing remembrance at the weekend, but I’m feeling a bit off today after seeing all the posts across social media

Big hugs to everyone
