New Fixtures
- Thread starter CJDevil21
- Start date
Basically they have to:
Ask the arena/rink for available dates. These are then taken to the fixtures meeting and a basic fixture list is produced.
The teams go back and then check the fixtures, and confirm that everything is ok with the arena/rinks.
With the arena's this isn't always possible and changes have to be made. This sometimes means other teams have to change their fixtures too.
I think in the past there have been several fixture drafts done before they finally get to one that everyone is happy with. There is then usually a couple of days delay whilst the teams book their flights and accomodation before they are publically released - to make sure the fans don't book them first.
Don't forget Spatzy that the football fixture list is usually released 6 weeks before the start of the season. 6 weeks before the start of the ice hockey season is about this week so it's not that late really.
I was hoping the fixtures would be out by the end of the month. Though it has gone pretty quiet regarding that now.

Well the good news for you guys is that your first game of the season definitely wont be away to Belfast 
, the Odyssey is booked out that weekend so we may be coming to the bay.
We have to wait until the 12th of September before we get to see our team play .
Also the Giants fixtures this year look to have a few home double headers among them to save teams having to travel over 4 times(not including cups), would Devils fans like a weekend in Belfast?

Apparently our 1st week or is it 2? will be away from here as well due to the big blue tent being booked up, although we will get to see a couple of warmups first...
And I think almost anyone would love a weekend in Belfast
