    Congratulations Steelers

    This hasn't been in doubt since some time in December. They have set the bar in terms of consistency, something that the devils have not gone anywhere near this season. We'll likely get another place in the continental cup though. Hopefully we'll have players who are up too the job. In the...

    Josh Waller

    Out for the rest of the season according to devils website. Big loss to the team.

    Mike Urquhart

    I just read a social media post saying that Mike Urquhart has passed away at only 65. He was only a devil for a short time at the end of our first season, though he was involved in the memorable division 2 play offs. He moved on to start the Chelmsford club. RIP.

    Challenge Cup

    An interesting article. I have to wonder how much of this is down to Belfast, Sheffield and Nottingham blocking change. https://www.fifetoday.co.uk/sport/ice-hockey/challenge-cup-find-new-format-or-put-eihls-dog-tired-tourney-out-of-its-misery-4437828

    37 years

    The first devils home game was 37 years ago today. Despite what the devils social media team might think. I wasn't at that first one, but started going the following week. Amazing times, but how things have changed.

    Inside the devils ep 2

    Brilliant again. I just keep getting more and more impressed with Pete Russell. At one point I thought he was channeling Paul heavey.

    Devils birthday

    The club have posts about this on Facebook and Twitter. Unfortunately they can't get the date of the first home game right.

    An interesting signing for peterboro

    They're apparently signing this guy. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/474003/ivan-bjorkly-nordstrom If I'm understanding this correctly he was born in the UK and played some early hockey here, so may be GB eligible. I imagine Elite league teams will be keeping an eye on him.

    Hypocrisy

    Sheffield schedule woes

    Apparently Sheffield haven't got ice time at the arena for their playoff quarter final (assuming they qualify ). https://www.sheffieldsteelers.co.uk/statement-from-steelers-re-play-off-quarter-finals-at-ice-sheffield/

    Pad 2

    I came across an interesting thread on the problems of pad 2 being closed: Having played rec and coached sledge hockey in the past, how the hell is this supposed to work? We had a pad 2 because there was the demand for it. I understand that costs have gone up, but was the utilisation really...

    Riley Brandt

    I just read an article defending what Riley Brandt brings to the devils. https://hockeysteve.co.uk/2023/09/12/the-riley-brandt-hypothesis/ I've no problem with the article, I'm just astonished that it was necessary for it to be written. I can understand fans of other teams disliking him...

    Devils medalions

    WTF? No, really. WTF? I know some might say that my ways are somewhat dated, and that I'm not the target audience, but this is the sort of stuff that we once mocked the Steelers for.

    Old time hockey

    Looks like things got a little feisty between the Steelers and the panthers.

    Liam kirk

    I see he's signed in Czechia after the coyotes terminated his contract. It seems to me that he's been treated terribly by Arizona, particularly given how he performed in Finland after his recovery from injury.

    Pete Russell interview

    What a great interview. How refreshing it is to listen to a coach who doesn't just fill an interview with clichés. I was convinced he was the right guy when we brought him in. The more I see if him, the more convinced I am. I'm buzzing for Saturday now.

    CHL

    Belfast's first game starting soon. Good luck to them. To be honest I think it'll be a success just to not get blown away with the new rules.
