January, 2010:

Well after a long Christmas lay off, we at UKHL have finally emerged from the drunken stupor the festive season brings to find that little has changed in the EIHL. Coventry still lead the line with Nottingham and Belfast in close pursuit.

Newcastle have struggled for results of late, while despite some good showings Sheffield, Edinburgh and Hull still reside in the basement.

Cardiff took a double scalp out of the top teams, defeats over Coventry and Belfast set their weekend up nicely with a run toward the second leg of the Challenge Cup Semi final in Dundonald International Ice Bowl.

So without further ado, here we go with Week 20 of EIHL competition. A week which sees a bumper mid week fixture list, and the Steelers once again off on their travels to Europe.
