First time post long time reader.

Popping in to see how everyones summer and teams are shaping up?

Billingham Stars follower myself and overall follower of the NIHL north.

Slow summer for us so far with our coach heading back up the road to Whitley and still awaiting any players to signing.

I think you're the only NIHL North guy we have round here, as a southerner I've never seen an NIHL north game, I was down to line a game in Telford one time before I got moved somewhere else.

I wish they would bring back the final between the North and South winners

 

[kungfumonk]

Yeah the old north south game was good. We played Invicta years ago. They had too much for us but still a great trip out.

The league is getting stronger each year. Massive difference since billingham has been back in the league compared to before we were without ice for a few years. Value for money is great!

Always plenty of fun involved when Telford are playing

What is your opinion of the Northern NIHL conference splitting the leagues into Midlands and North?

 

[kungfumonk]

As a billingham guy I'm against it as it dilutes our league further. Although we would have the stronger league playing the same teams more would get boring.

If they did it so we played one game against each midland team that would be better but I can fully understand the midlands teams stance. Nottingham rejecting promotion is annoying but I can see why they did it.

It seems like an awful lot of travelling, living in Reading the longest away trip for me is probably Cardiff, which is less than 2 hours away

Stars team starting to shape up now.

James Flavell back in the pipes and we have signed Andy Munroe from Bracknell in the EPL.

Munroe will be your player of the season.

 

[kungfumonk]

Munroe will be your player of the season.

Yeah the things I've read so far are very promising. We needed another body on d with losing one to Whitley. Sounds a very good player who doesn't miss a beat.

Few more left to sign but starting to look good now.

With Michael Bowman and Ste Wallace back we will certainly score goals.

I honestly can't recall him having a bad game, he won't get many points, nor will he feature on any all-star sides but he'll be a rock at the back, one of those players you can set your watch to.

Might want to change the team name with all these ex-Bees players in the squad.

Nothing like a nice quiet Bees Jets game to get the season started eh Imaginary Threats

Indeed

It was an entertaining game despite the one-sided scoreline

I felt like last season never ended, despite going the whole summer without doing even a rec game

Where do Romford Raiders play/what league?

I remember reading something about their arena closing down but didn't hear anything after.

They're staying in NIHL division 1 this season, playing in Lee Valley rink

 

[Shrimper]

Oh right. I looked at their website but it wasn't updated with their fixtures so though they might've stopped.

Another normal day in British ice hockey

 

[villevalo]

The EIHA really need to step up, to consider his past actions and give him a long term ban or best kick him out of the league.

One day Sharp will seriously injure someone.

 

[Siamese Dream]

Here's the full video, altercation starts at 13:30

 

[Siamese Dream]

Massive changes at Slough, first Watt gassed now Rockman and Fojtik. Import netminder brought in

 

[Siamese Dream]

Not looking good for Slough Jets now, more than half the team have abandoned ship

Probably won't be in the league next year

 

[conkereye]

Hi People!

Anyone here a Dynamos fan ?

Croatian young netminder, Andrej Vasiljevic, signed with Slough Jets and in his two first games he posted over 94% save percentage. Slough lost and won a game with him in the net, and in both games he faced near 50 shots.
