Scott Neill Speaks to UKHL about the Caps, the AHL visitors and the EIHL.
Following weeks of speculation, it has finally been confirmed that 2 AHL teams will face the Edinburgh Capitals and the Belfast Giants at Murrayfield Rink in September.
In a coup for Scott Neill and the Caps organisation the visiting Hamilton Bulldogs and Toronto Marlies will face off in an AHL showdown on Thursday 24th September. Then on Saturday 26th Septemeber the Capitals and the Giants will each face AHL opposition in a 2 day tournament, the winners and losers of these “Semi-Finals” will proceed to a Final and a 3rd Place Playoff the next day.
This will undoubtedly case shockwaves of excitement through the EIHL as the clamber for tickets begins today. But the prospect of a mid season exhibition tournament is one that will have fans, not only from Belfast and Edinburgh, but throughout the UK wanting to fill the wooden seats at Murrayfield.
