Steelers in the .....

It's a shame the season had to end this way. Arguments will rage as to who would've been top of the pile come season's end, we'll never know unfortunately so now it's down to the CHL who they think should be the worthy entrants to represent the EIHL next season in their competition.
History shows that we gave a good account of ourselves last time around and that may go in our favour, on the other hand would one of the 4 other contenders do an equally as good a job this time around? Whatever the outcome there will be some disappointed fans.
Wouldn't want to be in the position to have to make that decision.

At the end of the day it was100% the correct decision the end the season, regardless of who claims/thinks they are champions. We all want ice hockey to be played, we miss it when it's not there, but this situation is far bigger than sport, its people's lives we are talking about. Let's just get through this safe and well, then hopefully we get our game back
Not fishing here, but given the unique set of circumstances we find ourselves in -
Sheffield -> CHL spot, they won the only silverware this year, so deserve the CHL spot.
Devils -> Continental cup spot, runners up in the only silverware this year.
That's not using any bias, but trying to be a little logical with it.
Of course that in no way benefits us, and frankly would suck, but there's no other way to split it if no further games are played this season.

I can't agree with that. At the time the game was played abandoning the season wasn't on the agenda, and the idea of more being at stake want a possibility. Sure, the league still had a way to go, but clearly things were swinging in the devils favour. The CC is a different competition and to bring that into the equation is moving the goalposts.
The trouble is that there is no other way to award it without relying on "if's" or "maybe's",
The other option is that we don't have a representative from the EIHL in the CHL.
4 ways they could do it (if they decide without playing out any more EIHL games);
Sheffield because they've won the only available trophy
Belfast because they won the league this year & there is no winner this year
Cardiff because they were top at the time
No entrant from the EIHL
Out of those 4, number 3 looks the least fair, and least likely.
Just being a little realistic, if we don't get it then we can't really complain, but if we do get it then every other club as a right to be aggrieved.

I would love to see the devils not taking part in the chl.
Only reason being is I would like to see the team we put together just for the elite league!
No excuses no styles to adapt to etc.
Get some rough n ready youngsters who are fast and explosive n win the elite league at a kantor instead of every season we are sweating till the last few games

I personally don’t like the chl.
We will never be good enough to win it so it’s kind of pointless.
I bet it costs more money for the club to travel abroad stay at hotels get players here early to prepare etc etc.
We have around 4/5 pre season friendlies which in my eyes is enough to then start the league

Dissagree sorry winning the league means a lot different to me, winning the league means we have been the best team over the season in our league, and that means a lot more to me than a CHL spot. The European spot means lots to many people, probably including the team, but I also think lots of fans could live without it including me, more games for the lads to play, extra travel in a competition we wouldn’t win in a month of sundays. Give me Devils v Steelers/ panthers/Giants/ Blaze every day over Frolunda, Mountfield .
