As I'm not a football fan I don't feel qualified to comment on there.

However, the hockey season had just finished in the UK so anyone got any thoughts, comments etc?

Thought my local team did alright except they bottled it at final hurdle in every available competition.

Glasgow Clan fan here. Came within touching distance of the play offs but wasn't to be.

Next season will be the first uninterrupted (touch wood) season for 2 years so hoping for better then.

Yeah it's always a good atmosphere in there. I'm hoping to go to more games next season. Paisley Pirates use the Braehead Arena too but I've never gone to one of their games.

Can we just get a round of applause for Neil Liddiard and his services amd dedication to UK hockey.

Gotta admit I shed a tear or 2 at his retirement and the outpouring of love sent his way.

Only seen 2 NHL games. That was LA Vs. Anaheim in '07 at the o² arena.

However I've travelled to Germany a few times and watched DEL and DEL2 games in the past

I wish those days would come back.

That rivalry has died on its arse since we had that season we played them about 10 times and the merry go round of 1 year wonders

Giants played well all season. Deserved to beat Steelers for the league. I was lucky enough to at your playoff QF game in Belfast. Was a cracking game.

One of...there isn't a "London" team any more (mostly because London is too big for one).

It's all about the boroughs. Haringay teams play out of there. Lee Valley used to have teams and Streatham does as well
