Exciting times ahead for the city of Cardiff on the sporting front. With the new ice arena having been given the green light with outright planning consent there are very exciting times ahead for the Cardiff Devils.
Hopefully trophies will soon be heading back to Cardiff over the next few years with banners to go up in the rafters of the new arena to join the historic ones.
With the success of Cardiff City FC winning The Championship, promotion to The Premier League and the fabulous open top bus parade with The Championship Trophy in the sunshine and enjoyed by thousands of people lining the streets and enjoying that unforgettable occasion, it got me thinking.
Cardiff is really the place to be in the Elite League, top imports who sign for the Devils will join a strong Devils roster already boasting what is already shaping up to be possibly the best Brit contingent in Elite League.
The Devils players on their off days can enjoy going along to Cardiff City Stadium to watch Premier League football, Cardiff City versus the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and the big south wales derby with Swansea City, huge games being watched by a world wide audience.
This something that the likes of Nottingham Panthers, Sheffield Steelers, Belfast Giants and Coventry Blaze simply cannot offer, though congratulations to Hull Stingrays who also can.
Sheffield have their football teams struggling in The Championship with Sheffield Wednesday scrambling to avoid relegation, and Sheffield United languishing in League 1. Nottingham Panthers have the best prospect with Nottingham Forest in The Championship over Notts County in League 1, and Coventry Blaze have Coventry City with all kinds of worries at the bottom end of League 1.
Belfast Giants have....well....ummm....yes and Dundee, Fife, Braehead and Edinburgh offer.....Scottish football, while Hull Stingrays can also offer The Premier League with Hull City.
Cardiff is an exciting place to be with a top Elite League team soon to have a new modern arena within an exciting complex and Cardiff City in The Premier League on a worldwide stage. This overall package is something that the cities of Nottingham, Sheffield, Belfast and Coventry just simply cannot match.
