The EIHL has improved a lot in recent years.
A couple of seasons ago the EIHL was around CHL standard. Last couple of season the top EIHL teams were mid-ECHL standard, but without the strength in depth that those ECHL teams have.
Now though with more EIHL teams starting to roll 4 lines we're starting to get to a higher ECHL standard. It's a shame the ECHL season starts so late compared to ours. It would be great to get an ECHL team over here touring the UK for their pre-season.
Harder to compare European teams. But Nottingham did well in their Euros comp and we've had EIHL victories in the Champions League too.
