Big hockey fan here. As mentioned earlier, Wojtek Wolski plays in the NHL and I think he's the only current Polish-born hockey player in the NHL.

Thread attached on merging: Ice Hockey I am bringing my fiance to Poland for a short break in March 2009. We are both great ice hockey fans, and I was wondering if anyone can tell me if there are any games scheduled between 8-10 March? I've tried to find details online without any luck - the only site I can find is in Polish!! Thanks for any help you can give.

End of February might be the end of the season. Ours is in March. I think the NHL is May or something.

The UK. There is only one major team in Scotland, that's ours. Next year our last regular season game is on the 22nd of March and I think the playoff finals will be 4/5th April. So it's likely my team will finish their season on 22nd March. :D

Ah well, I knew I always got to watch NHL way after our season finished. :)

lol - not the first time I've heard that.

Both styles of hockey are vicious. At least Ice Hockey players get lots of padding, field hockey players get shin pads. Wow. :)

Do they still allow this in the NHL? I haven't seen an NHL game for a long time. It's all but banned from out game now, doesn't stop the players though. ;)

:) That's a truth. The league has gone crazy this season. Started with Voth of Cardiff getting a ridiculous ban for nothing. I watched the tape a thousand times (forced ;) it was a game penalty and nothing more. And why? They want to send a message to players league-wide that violence will not be tolerated. So now the game is boring. Players are scared to even (legally) board other players now for fear of a ridiculous ban. There were some bad-tempered punches thrown on Sunday when I was there but even the players couldn't be bothered taking it further.

Back to BNL days shortly for sure. I am looking forward to that. :)

Oh and add to that...who is going to have any money left at the end of the season...?

Nottingham, Sheffield, Coventry will probably be fine. Belfast might be allright - but they've had problems before and I'm still not convinced that they actually make any sort of money there.

Hull will be almost certainly gone I think, likewise Basingstoke. The Caps might, just might stay in the EIHL - but I very much doubt it. Newcastle might survive, but who knows? At the very least, I think two teams will have gone by next season, maybe even three,

The thing that worries me from a Caps point of view - exactly what would we be dropping into? It would seem that we could end up in some nonsense Scottish league with thousands of games against Paisley/Dundee/Fife - and that's not going to do much for the 'crowds' at Murrayfield.

Manchester, Coventry, Hull, Sheffield and Newcastle (and us) are borderline. Belfast, from what I can gather, are OK. They don't make much money but they stay afloat.

It would be a dreadful mistake to play in the EIHL next season. We can't afford to enter the season never mind compete throughout it. It's not just a "this" season thing though. We've tried the EIHL over the past few seasons and we're not good enough - sad but true.

When I was asked this question a few weeks ago I answered that we should apply to play in the English leagues. We could afford that and we could ice a team worthy of that. I'm hearing through the grapevine that there is some cool hockey being played in those leagues this season. Plus the away trips would be awesome. :D

The crowds at Murrayfield have been nothing to write home about for a while and I truly don't think they would decrease if we played in a different league. In fact, judging by comments read recently, if the team played a different league and charged less at the gate our attendance would be higher.

My opinion of of the EIHL...it's only got five years maximum left in it anyway. Too many teams in debt to play in it, or crashing out moneywise through the season.

AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaarrrgh. Have you seen that they're now not showing Caps vs Bison on Sky (for which we need every bit of publicity we can get...), but rather showing Sheffield vs Nottingham? Capitals will be gone from the EIHL next season now, surely.
