Bit off the thread topic, but here's some info on the Odyssey Trust, the charity that 'owns' the Giants. Looks an interesting set-up doing a lot of good stuff in Belfast. https://odysseytrust.co.uk/

Gettinger's CV is impressive - very similar to Hunter Shinkaruk's. Both moved to the EIHL in their late 20s from 30-ish game seasons in the DEL, though Gettinger doesn't appear to have HS's underlying injury issues, so he may fare better.

Panthers sign 25 year old Max Grondin. 6'4" , 205 lb Devils, Steelers and Panthers all adding size to their forwards.

Adam Rockwood joins Steelers https://www.sheffieldsteelers.co.uk/steelers-add-creative-centre-adam-rockwood/ Balmas, Rockwood and Archambault could be a strong trio.

Brandt scored 18 leagues goals last year, predominantly from 3rd and 4th line. I'd be interested to see how his goals per 60 mins on ice compared to the other main scorers. Over to you BigFan.

Guildford have brought in Sanford, Neumann and Gresock. Potentially a lot of goals there.

Alternatively, it could be MacLean and Lacroix returning for all I know

I have a feeling Brandt is staying because loyalty is such a big thing with him. I liked Kontos last year, particularly when he lit up later in the season, but in his pro career he has played for a new team every year, so I suspect he may be moving again. If he does leave, he may fancy going...

Chris, on the front page you've shown Ben Davies as departing instead of Perlini.

Most blocks, including 14 and 15 (Devils), sold out. There appear to be tickets available in the Fife, Dundee, Coventry and Guildford blocks - described by EIHL as 'a small number of remaining tickets...'

Pre-season tickets seem to be selling well. Only a handful of non-STH seats are still available for each of the five games. STH seats don't go on general sale till 10 July.

6 foot 3 16 stones (101kg) and fast Sounds like it might hurt if he runs into you.

Somewhat tongue in cheek, but Caron is arriving in the league age 25 with 55 AHL games behind him at 0.18 ppg. Mitchell Balmas arrived in the league at 25 with 44 AHL games at 0.18 ppg. Who knows what his future holds in a new environment. Not suggesting he's the next league MVP, but the Oligny...

That's official. It was announced on X a few days ago. Looking at ep it seems to be a 2-way between Swindon Wildcats and Wildcats 2 (NIHL 1).

Tommo did say that, but if Helgeson isn't going to be available at the start of the season, I think they will probably want an extra spare from day 1, so will recruit 20 skaters. In the latter half of last year we had 22 skaters (including Harewood), which was when having healthy guys on the...

Is Caron an actual rumour, or just spitballing? I haven't seen anything about it other than on here. Size and age (25) make him an attractive possible replacement for Lacroix to my mind. Caron played 3 years at Manitoba Moose with Jimmy Oligny and from what's been said on the podcast this...

That's my thinking/hope too. Last year the D pairings were very stable and the chances of having another largely injury free year are slim, especially as all are another year older. And if Helgesen is planned to miss the early part of the season, three alternative pairings will be needed from...

Kim Tallberg leaving Blaze after 4 years.

Though he cannot be counted as an EIHL 2-way and must take one of the roster places, could he be loaned to the Pitballs to get game time if not playing regularly for the Devils. Cole Shudra, who is also too old to be classed as a 2-way, played 6 league games for the Steeldogs last year, while...
