You may not care, but i'm sure a sponsor would.
I am a sponsor. I'm happy to see the releases on the Cardiff Devils website, and in local press. I'm not sure the elite league website is high on anyone's list for news on their team.

Didn’t realise the ‘Marketing Manager’ sent out press releases.
As good as the Inferno is, it doesn't actually have EVERY Devils fan as a member. And for those hockey fans that don't read THF (plenty out there), then the Elite League website is one of the only places they can get their general hockey information. If I was a casual watcher of ice hockey in this country and I saw no Devils press releases on the Elite League web site...I'd be inclined to think that the Devils hadn't signed any players for 2011/2012...
Press releases are not part of marketing's remit? OK then.
I would have thought that those Devils fans that don't bother with the inferno would get their Devils' news from the Devils' website, or local media. I can't imagine anyone relying on the elite league website for their team news.
I take your point about the casual watcher, but that could be applied to other teams as well surely?
