    Paul Thompson new Devils coach

    Believe me, we knew full well that there would be a part of our fan base that would feel this way and took that into consideration. His positive qualities outweighed that for us because we are singularly focused on winning. That's also why Paul wanted to come here so badly. Not often a sports...

    Paul Thompson new Devils coach

    Needless to say, the four of us here were just as skeptical and shocked when the thought of Thommo was brought to us. But when we analyzed what's been missing over the post-covid years, there were certain things that he brought that no other candidate did (and yes, we did review many...

    Appreciation thread

    Thanks very much, Glynne. What a strange and frustrating year. We certainly thought that we had put together a team to bring home the championship. By far the most injuries we’ve ever sustained in one season. Not only did we feel like we had the talent, this group of players also really...

    Carter King

    An absolute dream come true for my son and our whole family. A roller coaster of a week from the devastation of losing in double overtime in the Frozen Four, saying goodbye to the people that have become your family for four years and then a day later, signing with the NHL team you've been...

    Continental Cup Round 3 groups confirmed

    Really good news. Great experience for our home fans and good financially for the club. I've already booked my flights. I love that I can come and just stay in Cardiff instead of traveling to an away game during my stay. No place like home!

    Devils support at the Conti Cup

    I also want to personally thank all of you who went over. It’s a considerable cost and hassle to go to but it means so much to all of us, especially the players to have you all over there, representing our club. you were easily heard on the telecasts and many players plus Pete commented on the...

    Arlan HK Vs Devils - Continental Cup Group E - 17th Nov 24 - FO 13:00 (14:00 CET)

    Seemed that the little boys from Arlan forgot that they’ll have to play us again in a game that will matter. Not smart.

    Giants Vs Devils - 'Friendly' - 24th Aug 24 - FO 19:00

    Talked to Killer this morning. Said Oli has looked great in practice. Coming straight from the DEL in his prime, I’m sure he does! Heart and soul guy.

    Devils Vs Herlev Eagles - Friendly - 16th + 17th Aug 24 - FO 19:00

    Pete has a plan for these games where he completely drains the boy’s legs in practices prior to the games to get them used to playing fatigued. That’s particularly tough in the first week, especially for the guys that just flew over. Also a great test against a squad that’s been in camp for two...

    Carter King

    Draft is only for 18 and 19 year olds. After that you are a free agent to sign with whoever you please which is a huge advantage in picking a team that you’d have the best opportunity. That’s why he’s at the Flames camp - a team that is doing a full rebuild and will have open spots.

    Carter King

    Pretty incredible. His progression as a player and a person has been beyond belief. He had multiple NHL teams after him at the end of the season but he's been clear with all of them that he'll be going back to Denver to play his senior season. They'll once again have one of the top teams in...

    Calgary Stampede signings.

    Summit is on Sunday at Mr Shostak’s house. A lot of pressure on Craig, hosting the 10th anniversary summit! Weather looks fantastic. Can’t wait!

    Todd, Steve, Brian, Craig, Kelly

    Thanks so much for the very kind words. The Devils have become such a massive part of all of our lives, I honestly wouldn’t know how to fill that hole if it ever wasn’t a part of it. We 100% view this as the fan’s team that we are here to not just protect but to grow. All of us as fans deserve...
