The more distance I have from the day to day side of British Ice Hockey, the clearer it's flaws become. None of them are insurmountable, but they all require a willingness to change that is lacking amongst those with the control.

So, the Steelers want to buy the Steeldogs. The EIHA & NIHL Owners group don't want this. What they want is for Planet Ice to buy both the Steeldogs AND Ice Sheffield. As such, to try and force this option, the EIHA are allegedly going to force the Steeldogs out of the NIHL,

The sheer level of open racism towards Petgrave is chilling. I've long known that US sports has a race problem, but the openly racist nature of so many US comments towards Petgrave is just unreal. And make no mistake, most of the comments are from Americans.

I'm genuinely disturbed by how many fans enjoyment of ice hockey is directly related to there being fights. And not only that, but how dismissive the fight fans are of those of us who want skilful, fast hockey. They can't conceptualise the sport without sub-MMA nonsense.
