    Parking

    Well, if fans like me who live in the city have a more attractive public transport offer then the knock on effect is it lessens the load on the car park which benefits those who need to drive in.

    Parking

    If only the owners of both the rink and the pool also owned some sort of public transport company, perhaps a bus company, who could alleviate the issues by increasing the frequency of the number 9 bus on days they know both facilities have big events on?

    Devils Vs Flyers - League - 14th Feb 24 - FO 19:30

    Luckily I'm married to a woman who loves hockey, so we'll both be there!

    GKS vs Devils - Conti Cup Final - 13th Jan 24 - FO 19:00

    I remember even the Edinburgh Capitals managed to arrange a preseason tournament called the Gardiner Cup in 2009 and got two AHL teams involved. It was an amazing weekend of hockey - seeing the AHL sides take on Edinburgh and Belfast was a real step up in quality. I've no idea how the Caps...

    Devils @ Capitals - Jan 26th, 6pm - Chat & Updates

    Hey Devils Fans, Close match last night - either team could have won but you took your chances and you won the match and deservedly so. It was a good clean game too - by the time the first penalty was called midway through the second I was beginning to wonder if either team was going to get a...

    Worrying News for the Capitals

    I don't deserve any praise, I've stopped going. I see it as throwing £15 a week into a dying business - although I was amongst those deciding to come back this weekend (even though we've not won a game in 10 months). It's not only the GM we've lost, it's also a major financial contributor and...

    Worrying News for the Capitals

    A quick glance at the Caps forum should answer that*. Some had finally been tempted to come back for this weekend's home match but have promptly changed their minds. Others have said this Sunday will be their last. Unless Scott Neil's promised (but still 24 hours late) statement is an amazing...

    Worrying News for the Capitals

    Sigh. How long is a week in Hockey?! What's more annoying for us Caps fans? The fact we've lost our GM, the manner in which we lost our GM, or the fact the club haven't told the fans we've lost our GM? In fact, if the news hadn't been printed in a newspaper today I'm sure we'd never find out...

    Worrying News for the Capitals

    Just to keep everyone who cares up to date Last year Scott Neil was the owner, GM, coach, PR man and did just about every back office job at the club - a sure way to make sure nothing gets done and no way for a business to operate. As of now: Matthew Tailford and Scott Neil are directors of...

    Devils v Capitals - 29/01 - 7:00pm - League - Chat/Updates

    Because it's ourSNL team for a kick off. And it's not individual clubs who are blocking it, it's the league itself.

    Devils v Capitals - 29/01 - 7:00pm - League - Chat/Updates

    It still leaves us short benched and with only 4 imports, I wouldn't expect much better than a huge winning margin. These guys ITC cards were only approved late last night it seems, so they haven't trained with us yet. It also seems the SIHL is hellbent on stopping us signing 2-way contracts...

    Devils v Capitals - 29/01 - 7:00pm - League - Chat/Updates

    Well, here's a turnout for the books. In the last 5 minutes it's been announced we're icing two new imports tonight - a new netminder and new D-man. In related news, the new shareholders and investor should be finalised in the next 3 to 4 weeks. Light at the end of the tunnel!

    Devils v Capitals - 29/01 - 7:00pm - League - Chat/Updates

    Having spoken to the man, I can categorically state that he cares deeply about the Capitals and the fans of the club. How he can turn this around, if he can, is a different matter but there's no doubting how much he cares.

    Tonights (sunday) games

    Ahem. 12-2 thank you very much. :lol:

    What team shold we field against the Caps?

    Elite League rulebook: In other words, the 18-1, 15-1, 9-0 results will count for nothing in determining who wins anything, other than personal stats.

    What team shold we field against the Caps?

    By the time we play you, we should be back up to at least 4 imports again. Ok, it's not full strength (or even half strength!) but it's a start. We don't have a hope in hell of beating you, but the suggestion of using 4 full lines could be useful but then as we're struggling to put together two...

    Rumour on Neicehockey.co.uk

    Hi Guys. I'm the one who wrote up that summary you see above. With regards to the website comments, it's best put in context. The club has passed off website development to Computing Students at Edinburgh Napier University as a project for them, and we get something back in return. I think...

    EIHL Winter Classic?

    Funny you should mention this. I was thinking just the other day how great an Elite Winter Classic would be at Edinburgh's Winter Wonderland, which is in Princes Street Gardens. What an absolutely brilliant place to play a game of hockey - in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle. And what a fantastic...

    Massive win for the squeelers

    Scotty won't sell his baby, I'm sure of this. On top of this, fans ownership won't work either I don't think. We need someone at the helm who knows how to market the sport and the team to the good folk of Edinburgh. This is Scotty's downfall, he's an amateur at the back office side of things...

    Massive win for the squeelers

    You won't find any Caps fans complaining about it. We don't want pity, the moment teams ease off on us, the worse it feels to be honest. I'd rather lose 10-2 than be a charity case.
