It is well close at the top. Only a few points separating the top 5 teams. While the poor Sheffield Steelers drift further and further away.

I’m sure there is a lot of concern up the road for that.

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.

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.

AHL v EIHL in Edinburgh – Scott Neil Interview

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.
