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.

Blogs and Forums Discussion with Jono Bullard

The internet dominates all information in modern day society. Blogs and Discussion Forums have been methods for fans to communicate their views in the Elite League since before its inception.

Some times good, some times bad, it cannot be ignored that it is a widely used medium, with more and more EIHL teams taking advantage for their own benefit. The Belfast Giants as an example mix Players Blogs with regular “State of the Nation” updates form General Manager Todd Kelman.

While many small independent ventures attempt to give their own personal take on events.

One such independent blog is The Cats Whiskers, a blog mainly concerned with the Nottingham Panthers, it began life as a fanzine but now resides on the web.

UKHL spoke with the man behind The Cats Whiskers, Jono Bullard, about how the “blogosphere” has effected communication between fans ant teams and if the content of discussion forums benefits or hinders clubs.

 

Many thanks to Jono for his time.
