LIVE This Weekend – EIHL Week 3

Week 3 of Elite League action and the Newcastle Vipers still sit top of the tree after the first few rounds of games. But the league is very tight, by the time this weekend passes it could all change.

Edinburgh join the party, at last, this Saturday evening in Hull, under a week before their visitors from North America arrive in Scotland, and with a team containing more ex-NHL players than any other, this side may make a massive impact and shock a lot of people.

To date UKHL cannot find any live coverage from Edinburgh, we know they had a webcast last season, but can find no details of this returning. If you know of any coverage live from Murrayfield, e-mail us at updates@ukhockeylive.com.

A lot of thanks to John Walker who has passed on detail of the Edinburgh Webcast for addition to the blog.

Now, to this weeks games.

“Embracing the Goon: The Legitimisation of Fighting in the EIHL”

Victoria Silverwood mixes her time as a fan and off-ice official of the Cardiff Devils with her study in Criminology. The intricacies of Ice Hockey as contact sport throw up interesting legal dilemmas. Victoria has spent the last few years investigating and researching these within the sport, their effects on the players, fans and the sports draw in general. All this leading to her recent MSc dissertation entitled “Embracing the Goon: The Legitimisation of Fighting in the EIHL”.

Victoria spoke with UKHL about her work, the effects of violence within hockey, “The Code” and fans reaction to the events they witness.

 

Many thanks to Victoria for her time, we wish her well in her work.
