    Challenge cup

    No need for the Challenge Cup full stop. Format is painful and distracts from regular season. There are not enough teams to warrant having three separate trophies each season. I understand it generates revenue for the teams but just incorporate additional games into the regular season. Just an...

    Gotta love a few rumours over the off-season!

    Devils Vs Blaze - PO 1/4 Final - 9th April 23 - 18:00 FO

    Pretty certain Batch didn't play for rest of game, he was sat at back of bench.

    Devils Vs Blaze - PO 1/4 Final - 9th April 23 - 18:00 FO

    Batch not iced since that goal. Horrendous play. These two games have been microcosm of our entire season.

    Blaze Vs Devils - PO 1/4 Final - 8th April 23 - 19:00 FO

    In fairness, Holsa did make two or three good saves on the 5-on-3 to deny us a PPG and if they had capitalised on that, then it would've looked a bit better. I felt that the important thing was to get that fifth goal and put that distance between us and Coventry, and they still found a way to do...

    Blaze Vs Devils - PO 1/4 Final - 8th April 23 - 19:00 FO

    I think a combination of the poor performance at Blaze a week ago, along with a real deliberate increase in intensity caught Coventry by surprise, and the Devils were very good. A bit concerning when they fell behind without facing much pressure, but the Devils clearly responded. Every player...

    A year to the week since taking over, Dupont might need another Play-Off title to silence critics https://www.dai-sport.com/duponts-devils-target-play-offs-to-finish-inconsistent-campaign-on-a-high/

    Belfast Haven't Broken the EIHL Roster Rules......because...

    Until the league and clubs provide more transparency and clarity over roster movement and rules, teams will naturally expose any grey areas for their own gain. If the above post is right, the issue is with the league and not Belfast.

    Blaze Vs Devils - League - 1st April 23 - 19:00 FO

    I'm not so sure it is as clear cut as the owners indicated. The owners weren't going to criticise or speculate about an employee in a public forum. I've mentioned this previously, but if the fans are seeing issues with how the team is functioning and performing, then the owners sure as hell...

    Blaze Vs Devils - League - 1st April 23 - 19:00 FO

    Cox and Sanford restore a bit of pride but sounds like it's been a poor night. Since getting a shutout, Kozun has been benched twice.

    Mike MacWilliam - A gent and pure class

    As a Devil's and Isles fan, I must say, this is brilliant! What a nice guy.

    POFW 22/23

    Where was this confirmed? I have hotel booked for Friday night thinking it would be an earlier start, so will cancel my Friday night and travel up on Saturday morning if this is the case.

    Devils Vs Storm - League - 9th March 23 - 19:30 FO

    Very fair assessment. Confidence is clearly an issue and execution is sorely lacking which falls on the coaching staff. The warning signs were there from the first period in which we had just one goal to show for dominating early on before fading. Based on current performances, our league...

    Robert 'Rory' Herrman

    Nothing to say that if he kicks on there and becomes a more developed player, then the Devils won't take another look at him at some stage. In fact, I'm be pretty sure they'd have had a conversation along those of lines with him when they let him go. Good to see him doing well.

    Challenge Cup Final

    Have said this for several seasons, so absolutely no bitterness on my part towards Belfast, but having three different trophies being passed around so few competing clubs is frankly embarrassing. The format itself has obvious flaws and I'd argue there's no real prestige to the competition by...

    EIHL do we need a phone app

    If you have an Android phone just add the EIHL site link to desktop and it basically becomes an app then, with the logo etc. Presume the same option exists on Apple. I'd rather the league and all the clubs collectively focus more on improving transparency about various rules and providing...
