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!

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.
