    Shooting practice

    Just a quick post to say thank you to Trevor Hendrixx and Josh Brittain. My son and I both play hockey and have benefited hugely from coaching in the Snipers Den. For those who don't know the Snipers Den, its a room upstairs in Ice Arena Wales with synthetic ice and a five hole goal with various...

    Flames Vs Devils - League - 6th Oct 24 - FO 18:00

    Heroic performance. It was a very Dundee style game plan. Plant 5 players in the slot and absorb the pressure, then capitalise on the few opportunities you get. Outshot 37 -20 but Bowns was amazing once again. In the circumstances you have to be happy with 2 points from this weekend. Lets hope...

    2nd period looked like a Flames powerplay for most of it. Devils look knackered but have defended heroically. Flames threw everything at Bowns but it took a Waller beauty to get past Bowns on the powerplay. Im nervous for the 3rd period.

    End of first 0-2. Flames had most of the possession but Devils playing well defensively and Bowns solid as usual. O Brien, Sanford and Martin line looks dangerous

    Wow Devils playing 3 line hockey. Would never have envisaged that so early in the season. Damn those hockey gods.

    Nobody seems to talk about O'Brien probably because he is not flashy. But he is real smart hockey player. 5 points in 3 games for both league and CC shows that he is going to be an important player this season.

    Devils Vs Storm - CC - 27th Sept 24 - FO 19:30

    Im at the opposite end in block 5. I thought block 11 including megaphone man did a great job. With the Devils not playing well they kept the atmosphere going. I always thought the Devils had the best atmosphere until I watched a DEL match in Frankfurt. There is a constant pulse from the fans...

    Devils Vs Flyers - League - 21st Sept 24 - FO 19:00

    I have been really impressed Fourniers defensive play. He uses his silky skating skills to make space and give some good quality passes. I think we will see a lot of assists from him this season. I think the days of skating through defence like a knife through butter have gone as the league has...

    Why not? O Brien is an assist machine and Sanford is a goal machine. Sounds a good combo to me.

    Who was on Sanfords line?

    Yes I think with the signing of MacWilliam and Fournier, Gourleys signing went under the radar but he hasn't put a foot wrong and looks after his teammates also. I really like our D unit this season.

    Great performance. Lines were working really well, particularly the 2nd and third. Lines were Bush (originally Shinkaruk before injury), Barrow, Olefschki Obrien, Duke and Mosey McDonald Martin and Perlini Duggan, Davies, rotating

    Devils playing really well. I like the Obrien, Duke and Mosey line.

    Devils Vs Clan - League - 14th Sept 24 - FO 19:00

    Not the best of games but we got the win. Defensively we look so much better this season and thats not just down to the improved D men. Bowns was also solid once again. Up front Russell seems to be trying out lots of different combinations but Shinkaruk, Olefschki and Barrow did not work for me...

    Cole Sanford leaves ESV Kaufbeuren

    Top scorer for the Devils for the last 2 years. 2nd top scorer in the league for the last 2 years. EIHL All Star. Coaches Player of the year. Forward of the Year. Can play PK also. Im sure we can squeeze him in on the fourth line somewhere ;)

    Panthers Vs Devils - Friendly - 8th Sept 24 - FO 16:00

    Great defensive performance. Bowns was solid but the forwards collapsing and clearing loose pucks played a big part in the scoreline. Batch was outstanding and McWilliam is just class. As for Fournier we remember him as an offensive D-man but his defensive game looks like it has improved a...

    Devils Vs Panthers - Friendly - 7th Sept 24 - FO 19:00

    Lots of talent on this team but the chemistry is not there yet. GB duties has disrupted the benefit of pre-season games. The passing was good but the finishing was not there. Defensively I though we looked stronger than last year and only conceding one goal in regulation reflects that.

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

    I thought we were the slightly better team in the first period but penalties 2 from Brandt and one from MacDonald tired the team out and Belfast were faster and stronger thereafter. I didn't see Macs penalty but Brandt needs to learn only to fight people willing to fight. If you keep trying to...

    Belfast had the better of that period. Devils look tired and pressure led to the Belfast goal. Busch and Long had a fight. Long went off with a cut. Brandt involved in a scuffle after the buzzer. Not much else to report

    Bayley Harewood is on fire. He took a double hit got straight back up, had great visibility to see Shinkaruk was open, passed the puck to Shinkaruk for a goal.
