New Centre Ice UK blog out: A delayed piece put together last week to allow the chance for Hull Stingrays to respond, comments welcomed: centreiceuk.com/?p=104Although I think there is probably a lot of truth to the story told by matt you ask in the blog if imports will sign again for another year, well today two of them did.

Although I think there is probably a lot of truth to the story told by matt you ask in the blog if imports will sign again for another year, well today two of them did. While that is true, that is quite fudged because one is the new head coach & the other assistant coach. The lure of having the experience of those jobs probably outweighs most of the cons because of the experience and opportunities it could bring for those guys further down the line.

That's true, I wonder if another reason for having two inexperienced coaches is partly so bobby can stay on as bench coach.

Episode 21 out now! Link: centreiceuk.com/?p=167The focus this week is on Challenge Cup Final chat, helping me out with that is my first guest of two; Jon Jones from The Inferno to get a feel from Devils fans on how this season has went, particularly in contract to last season. We of course get his thoughts on the Cup Final, how the Devils may tackle their league match with the Dundee Stars the night before, and we get the latest on the new Cardiff Arena. Getting some viewpoints from a Steelers angle, we have Scott Antcliffe to first talk about the latest twist in the league title race as Steelers grab a vital 2-0 win against the Clan, then on to the match against the Belfast Giants, and of course some Cup Final chat.

Episode 24 out now! centreiceuk.com/?p=217We look at the Play-Off Quarter-Final line ups, including the controversy at the scheduling of 2 of the ties. We also give a snippet of an explosive interview conducted by Banners on the Wall podcast host Anthony Russell with Nicky Watt, an EPL player who has been banned for 8 years from all activity in the sport by the UK anti-doping agency. It’s not as simple as it sounds, and is fascinating listen that is well worth your time, link to that is at the bottom of this post. My guest for this week is a fellow podcaster from across the pond, Adam Wylde co-host of the Steve Dangle podcast chats with me about how their podcast got going, then we chat about the Leafs, the advanced NHL stats, and a bit about Adam’s radio career which has landed him interview spots with the likes of Pink, Taylor Swift & Miley Cyrus.

Excellent item on the website about the farce that was the live draw for the Challenge Cup last week at Sheffield. Have a read is hilarious, what a pure farce the draw was, an embarrassment! Four pucks, a pool ball and a Marks and Spencers bag!
