We showcase the arenas of the Elite Ice Hockey League, the UK's biggest ice hockey league. That's why they call it elite. They don't just call any ice hockey league elite, you have to earn it. Thanks for watching!

Manchester Storm used to have the largest Ice Hockey arena outside North America, the Manchester Arena, which still holds the record for largest attendance in British Ice Hockey history, over 18,000 to see Manchester Storm v Sheffield Steelers in 1997. Unfortunately the Storm went bankrupt and the Phoenix club that restarted couldn’t afford the rent at the arena.

@@edwardburek1717 I must have missed that. Was that our old Braehead logo or our current Glasgow one? I’m not keen on the current one which is a Braveheart rip off. The old one, otherwise known as the Hockey Neds, I do like though many thought it was done on the cheap and is a bit amateur. I must add that we have won some silverware, namely a few conference trophies in the seasons where the league was split into conferences. But as for serious silverware, namely league, cup or play off, we’ve seen none and this season will be no different.

Where do Coventry natives like myself go to for premium Swedish horsemeat, now that the Ikea's closed down? Walsall - well, you did ask. And since those flat-pack merchants left, the place is still being kept busy. It's now a rudimentary TV studio and rehearsal venue. Thanking you very much for showing the Elite League rinks, this league - and hockey in general - needs a hell of a lot more media coverage, because it's a brilliant product. And, as seems to be the case for pretty much every other commenter lately, please do the ECHL arenas next.

Surreal to be sitting in here in Central Scotland and, on this channel where I learn about exotic and wonderful stadia from all over the world, seeing the Kirkcaldy ice rink. Couple of things worth knowing - ice hockey is a very small sport in Scotland, so small in fact that the scores don't even feature in the sports news. The main use for our ice rinks is curling. And Dundee FC's new stadium is planned to be built next to the ice arena there.

@@AllyStrikesBack I love football, obsessed by it really, but I have little interest in the Premier league exactly for the reason you say. I'm lucky that the team I support play in the East of Scotland League so we're insulated from all the nonsense. Ice hockey is a cracking sport and played at a reasonable level in Scotland, it's always surprised me more people don't go to games. You're right, it's the lack of media coverage. Same with basketball.

You should do the NIHL National, D1, D2 and SNL rinks. Some teams within these leagues share the same rink/arena and it’s kinda easy to get the teams of the leagues mixed up so let me know and I’ll get the teams together. Do note know, most of the rinks are similar to Guildford and Manchester in that they are more rinks than areas and so most if not all the arenas can’t house more than 3k spectators and are leisure centres, but all have their own characteristics 😅.

Belfast Giants are a brilliant thing for the whole off Northern Ireland no sectarian rubbish like all the other sports but unless they win the league or cup the news never tell you much about them sadly as they are a very important part of this city. Id say the Giants, Stealers and Panthers are the big three in the league! Definitely in regards to Average attendance.

considering we founded the elite league with Nottingham and Sheffield I'm not surprised. I do wish we'd get a little more coverage but we're one of the three biggest sports teams alongside Ulster Rugby and the NI National team I'd argue we're doing better than the other teams in terms of awareness.

Ice hockey was invented in the UK and the first Spengler Cup win went to a UK based team (believe it was Oxford HC). And we won the 1936 Olympic gold medal in Germany. So yes, we do indeed play the sport and the Elite League is a fun little league to watch. Would definitely recommend if you don't mind minor hockey leagues.

@@wckdaintgood Rugby is a pretty big sport here too, both league and union. And golf, obviously. The other big spectator sports are Formula 1 and cricket. Globally-popular sports like ice hockey and basketball are much, much smaller here than in most European countries, which you can see in our relatively poor collection of sports-specific arenas. We have some great arenas but they're built for concerts and don't have sports tenants.
