Pre-Season part two or the start of real hockey ?

I think the new pricing structure maybe already starting to bite.

Looking at the Ticketmaster site, I'd guess not many more than 6,000 sold to date, which will be rather disappointing for a Saturday night.

As for the game, last season the defensive style of Blaze caused us a few issues on our ice. Do the new players have the ability to open them up?

I'm certainly looking for a lot more from certain players, particularly Rockwood.

I hope Fox doesn't do his constant swapping of lines. It would be good to see some settled lines.

Which import misses out?

Regards

No idea how good or bad Coventry are likely to be, but whilst proper competitive hockey starts now, it still feels a bit like an extension of pre-season to me.

I’d agree that higher ticket prices won’t help with crowd numbers, but two trophy-less season’s doesn’t help and whilst it’s all subjective, Fox hockey isn’t particularly exciting in my eyes unless we’re playing in the CHL.

I am looking forward to seeing ‘Tesla’ again though. Looks a superb signing so far. Will Dowd be back?

4-1 Steelers.

Really hoping Mr Shudra is back on the stream, however I fear he’s moved on. May have only been there to watch his son. Perhaps he’ll appear on Belfast’s stream instead?

Well we haven't received our season tickets yet? so thats going to be fun tomorrow!

We are in same position. We have telephoned the Steelers office over 12 times and every time been put on hold. Guess there are many others in same position. Any advice from Steelers as to what we do tomorrow night. Feels like chaos

Well i Have the official word on this...

If you didn't pay for the season tickets to be posted out to you... then they didn't post them...
Tomorrow they have to be collected from Box office (entrance C) before the game obviously.

At this point its fair to say I had no idea I had to pay postage to get them sent to me!
ive never had to do this before... but apparently you do now.... I must have missed the memo!

Thanks and ditto re not receiving the memo or paying for them to be posted for the last 30 years

We have a rather vague memory of this being an option to select when you paid for the card.

Seems your vague memory of an option... beats my absolutely no recall of anything about postage

You could still be right. It was many months ago ! It may explain the uncharacteristically early arrival of them. It’s been absolutely last minute before.
