Think the U18 WC proved that perhaps OHA may not be the best thing... Especially for the defence.
Go on then, tell me some players better than the OHA boys who should have been picked instead

Skill wise, perhaps not, but arguably playing on the best team all season isn't the best for young defencemen who need to learn how to play when under pressure.
I'm assuming you watched all the U18 games, and saw just how awful that defensive unit was?

I can't remember encountering a sport in Britain that has as confusing a setup as ice hockey. It's a shame it looks like it won't change anytime soon.
What do you mean by "confusing setup"?
Multiple, antagonistic governing bodies and leagues. It's very fragmented.
It's not hard to workout a system. It's not hard to pour money into it to make it happen. But no one in this country gives a **** about ice hockey. So it'll never happen.
Could somebody please give me some info about how it works with selection for GB Teams? Have a son a defenceman who plays in Sweden on a U16 team at one of the big clubs and in theory could play for a GB team...
Can anyone explain me the different between EIHL and EPIHL? - How much higher is the level of play in EIHL?
I can se a lot of the talented youngsters are playing in EPIHL instead of EIHL, is it like a farmer league for EIHL?
Or is it a separate league? Because a lot of foreigners are playing EIHL, but only a few in EPIHL?
I hope someone can help me and give me some knowledge about it.

But based on that is he eligible?
I think you have to be invited you can't just show up. Obviously if they don't know he exists then you could contact someone, possibly Mark Beggs who is the "National talent development officer" for IHUK[/QUOTE
Well i am sure if they see him they will probably be very interested Thanks for your info i will get in contact with them
Do you guys think that if KHL created an ice hockey team in London or any other big cities in UK that may have interest in that sport, it would fill the arena and become a legit organization? As far as I know there is no concrete plans to include UK but this has been an ongoing topic in KHL forums, adding teams from Paris, London etc. Do you think it's viable?
I remember F4 of Euroleague being held in London and it was disastrous. On the other hand, people tell me that ice hockey is not like basketball in UK and could work... What are your opinions on this?
IT, you will likely know this more than anyone.
What are the player salaries like in the EPIHL?
