Not sure if this should have its own thread or not but thought people who have not got twitter may benefit from hearing Tony Smith's thoughts

A great interview, I urge everyone to give it a listen... its looking like mid October is the crucial cut off date to hear news about a start up for the EIHL in December due to the commitment to play in Asiago...

I think it's even earlier than that. the hard deadline for confirming to play in the conti-cup is 18th September

Good interview. I do agree that it’s not necessarily how things start, it’s if they can be sustained and not end up with a forced lockdown. That is very likely and would be real bad news for clubs who would have full squads with very little revenue.

Whilst there’s some positive news, I’m afraid IMO there’s still some way to go before we see ice hockey in the arena. If you were a sponsor would you be putting money in? I’m not sure I would just yet.
