Back, after a week away (a “Seventh Week Stretch” if you will), it’s your Thursday guide on where to catch this weekend’s Elite League Action On-line!

Since we last blogged the only change toward the top is the rise of the Belfast Giants, sitting just behind the Nottingham Panthers who retain their top spot despite losing heavily last weekend in Cardiff.

This weekend sees a full compliment of 8 fixtures, with the Challenge Cup sharing the bill.

So without further ado..

Full Compliment of EIHL fixtures this weekend. And after last weekends success at 20/20 HockeyFest, and the acquisition of Andrew Verner, the Sheffield Steelers will be hoping their season “starts now”. They face Hull on Sunday a week after knocking their East Riding of Yorkshire counterparts out of the inaugural tournament.

Nottingham still top the pack, Kevin Bergin returning to the line up after being “rested” and Johan Molin making a cameo appearance in the Panthers embarrassing exit from Sheffield Arena.

All teams in action twice this weekend. Here’s where you can find them.
