Are there actually people who don't want any of the current team back? Seems a bit daft considering recent successes. We definitely need to keep things fresh every off-season but re-signing players like Joey is a bold statement to the rest of the EIHL.
You have to think that getting some of the big cities on board would help to raise the perception/status of the UK game. Obviously can't comment on infrastructure but seems like a no brainer to me.
I haven't heard of any new teams joining so what we have now will be the status quo I'd imagine. From a league/marketing perspective, I wouldn't be surprised to see Leeds joining at some point and I did read something about a team based in Dublin. We're surely overdue a London based team too!
