Have they not read that IHUK statement? Whilst it's normal protocol to do the handshake, I'm sure IHUK are taking no chances and for once I'm with them on that.
Opposition fans in jumping to conclusions against Steelers without doing any research whatsoever shocker! Image

The Czech Extraliga (where I've been getting my hockey fix since January) is currently in a crisis meeting with clubs after the Czech government banned all events with 100+ people.

They're deciding whether to continue with the playoffs, award the regular season winners Bílí Tygři Liberec the Cup, or null and void the season entirely.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the EIHL Playoffs get cancelled. We’re a few weeks behind Italy who have pretty much shut most events down.

If our trend continues to follow Italy’s there’s a strong chance the playoffs could get cancelled, especially with it being an indoor event.

Hope refunds will be offered if so.

This is going away anytime soon guys... and its going to get much worse before it gets better...
The family and I have more or less decided we have been to our last live Hockey game this season :emot:
With a very serious underlying illness (some of you may know I suffer from Cystic Fibrosis amongst other things) its really not a chance thats worth taking.... :pray:

Definitely not, it will be a while before it reaches its peak unfortunately. Hopefully as we come to the end of the flu season things slow a bit.

Very concerned with what’s going to happen to the EIHL once events gets cancelled. The POFW makes the money for the league to operate. Worrying times
