Eihl is a great hockey league and sells out arenas but isn’t broadcasted on TV, game has got so much room to grow in the UK, another great video rob!

Hi rob, so glad to see someone shining light on the uk hockey scene love your vids keep it up

Glasgow Clan fan here but great to see a video on EIHL hockey. There's so much room for it to grow! Glad you enjoyed your time in Scotland!

Hi Robert, glad you enjoyed your trip. Thanks for shedding some light on some EIHL, theres not anywhere near enough coverage of it in the UK. That said, the fanbase of each team are passionate. I used to follow London Knights (same as the Canadian team) that were based in London but sadly folded many years ago. Hope your trip to Manchester goes equally well! Our Olympic hockey team just finished our qualifying round at the Cardiff rink.

Great video. Thanks for coming to see the EIHL! I would say theres a big difference between the smaller clubs like Flyers and the big clubs like Sheffield Steelers and Belfast Giants for e.g. size of arenas, amount of merch etc. We're a bit of a backwards league because hockey just isnt big here in the UK unfortunately

Glad to see someone showcasing UK hockey to a wider audience. Can't wait to see more!

Great video, subscribed right away. Love your passion for different countries sporting history. Keep it going 👊

So cool seeing my Flyers getting a video like this done. Pity you never tried the stovies, the real star of the show food wise, always next time I suppose

Dundee fan here, great video. Fife have a more traditional barn than what we do as our old Kingsway ice rink was moved to Camperdown. Hockey is a niche sport here but we have very passionate and dedicated fans.

It's at least 70 years since I first watched Fife Flyers, but saw them recently in Belfast. In the 1950s I remember Floyd Snyder and there was a family of local butchers who were prominent in those days. Anyone remember their name?

Great to see someone promoting the EIHL, glad you enjoyed your trip to Scotland. You were very lucky to see a Fife win with how they've been playing this season. Maybe you should come down to one of the English rinks next time!

Love your vids, keep up the great work! Europe hockey is on my bucket list!

Hi Robert, great video, thanks for shining a light on UK hockey. Tip for a sausage roll - ketchup or brown sauce 🙂 cheers

Awesome video, glad you enjoyed your time in Fife.

Great video and insight into UK Ice Hockey, hope you get to visit as many barns as you can whilst in UK

great video again mate! i see a trend forming here 😁 brilliant to see the elite league getting some air time outside of their own platform.. top stuff my friend👍

Awesome vid once again. 😁 Nothing beats a good Bovril. 😄 Nice to see hockey alive and well in Scotland.

A great video Robert! I'll be checking the rest of your content for sure!👍🏻 I've been following eihl/superleague hockey for over 24 years with Sheffield steelers, but try to watch my local team in the nihl (2nd teir) the Bristol pitbulls I just love the sport!!! 😀

Robert great content, really enjoyed it and the snack bar stuff made me so hungry. Thanks for sharing

you should watch a leeds knights game in the NIHL such a good fan base and great hockey

Just discovered your channel, what an awesome video. Subscribed and a lot of catching up to do❤

Great video !!! Happy travels !!!!

Brilliant, thanks for posting this.

Loving the videos, From lulea to Fife I’d say that’s an upgrade even 😂. A team that would be good to check out from the UK would be the Telford Tigers, they have good history and on top of that the last couple seasons have been dominant too. Great video as always 🙌

Love the video, you have visited the two smallest rinks in the uk though, you should try and check out one of the arena teams before you leave to see the scale across the elite league

When you’re next in the UK, you should come visit some clubs outside the EIHL. One in particular is the MK Lightning who used to play in the EIHL from 2017-2019. They average 2k fans which is more than some of the EIHL teams do. They play in the same league as the Leeds Knights (a team I see have been mentioned in the comments already) who were formed in 2019/20 season and who won the league and playoffs in their third year. They are looking to do the same this season too. In a the league below MK and Leeds, NIHL D1, you should check out both the Whitley Warriors (Whitley Bay Newcastle) and Streatham IHC (London based side). Streatham were founded in 1932 and play in the Southern regional conference, whilst Warriors were founded in 1956 and play in the Northern regional conference. Therefore with the date according to Elite Prospects, Streatham is the only team in the UK, however Fife has been a professional side longer whilst Streatham play in a semi-pro league.

Ill be honest. Theres not many channels i have the bell on for. Yours is one of them. By far the best hockey channel ive watched.

Love the video, next time I go to the UK I’ll definitely go check out a game

From NA but about to go to my first hockey games in europe (sweden and denmark). Super excited after your shl video!

Keep it up bro this type of content has the potential to have some real longevity behind it. Would love to see some more interactions with the fans.

Pop along to Sheffield or Nottingham and compare the rinks to Fife and Manchester makes you realise how hard it is for those teams to compete as well as they do

Wow great video Robert love how you are exploring more of European hockey! Whilst the community in some countries isn't as big there are still loyal fans all around. You should check out the Polish ice hockey scene if you ever get a chance, anyways great video will definitely subscribe

Thanks for giving Scottish hockey some attention, I'm a Edinburgh Capitals fan. Also Scotland has historic links with Ice Hockey, there's a Scottish field hockey sporty called Shinty that some believe had an early influence on ice hockey.

As someone who grew up within the sport in the UK, its great to see some light shining on our leagues. if your ever down south give cardiff, guilford, slough and gosport a look at. 4 very different rinks. 4 very different fan bases and historys.

Great video 👍, I go watch the local Peterborough Phantoms and then the Sheffield Steelers which is another level!

Awesome video EIHL love! Love your channel, you should come to Cardiff! 😈 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Fife is not the oldest hockey club in the UK. Oxford University is, formed in 1885 as recognized by the International Ice Hockey Federation. Still a very cool video.

Cheers for coming!

great video once again man

Love the content 👌

I’m a Nottingham Panthers fan, but I have always loved the Flyers. They have the warmest welcome, the best atmosphere, and the best tea in the Elite League. And their food is good, too. When you visit, make sure you go to Anstruther for the fish & chips.

Another awesome video!

Defo need to come to a belfast gaints game such a good arena and crowd!

You should come over to Belfast and see Giants play! Great video 👍

I've never been to a hockey game but seeing your footage of it up close makes it look far better than on tv - I can never see the puck. Would definitely like to go if you can get close to the action like this.

I am a fife flyers fan so I love this video!!

You need to go to a Dundee Stars game, atmosphere is absolutely fantastic there

As a fellow EIHL fan, the Fife Flyers rink is most likely my favourite.

Good video Rob and nice to meet you on the night.

I love to see this , can only help if Canadians and Americans learn more about the EIHL and from someone who’s genuine and not going at with the idea it’s terrible as it’s not. Thanks for this and keep making great videos. Ps that’s the first time I’ve ever seen that flag, very cool.

you should come down to sheffield and see cormier in action

You're coming to see the Storm next? Excellent stuff, make sure you say something about the outrageously disgusting prices and the fact we play our home games in a shed!

Let's go, one of my favorite songs were playing in the backgrounds The song name: got my mind set on you

I don’t know the Fife Flyers as a club, but Fife is the global home of World Ice Hockey at the Firth of Forth. And Iron Bru is the only Scottish thing you ate or drunk and by far the best thing as well.

Welcome to the eihl bud! We don't have a lot but we do have heart and good players. Keep an eye out for the steelers and giants

Nottingham Panthers fan here. The EIHL isn't as professional as other hockey leagues and its been a bit of a mess this season because of the Adam Johnson situation but yeah its improved in the 8 years I have been watching.

Will you be coming to Sheffield? Hope you can make it.

Should have come down to Sheffield to catch up with Cormier!

Hi Rob , we love our hockey here in the uk , but its not a big sport the main problem is that if we go back to the 80's there were a lot of small teams not big city teams. They can't sustain teams in Newcastle or london , london had 3 teams - streatham. Lea valley and richmond but they cant keep a big london team alive like wise newcastle who had in the north east area durham , whitley. Crowtree and cleveland and smaller teams struggle financially to remain and compete in the eihl which is a shame because we are only a 10 team league. I'am not scottish but loved iron bru has a child its scotlands national drink.😅

Come to the steelers in Sheffield

You gotta do one of these vid for the Moosehead in the Q near not to far from your home time best junior city in the world

Have you ever been to (Belfast Giants Ice Hockey Club) Sports club in Belfast, Northern Ireland UK 🇬🇧

Irn bru is our national drink basically , just behind whiskey 😂 it’s amazing. Hope you had a great time .

This is so rad

Those jerseys are beautiful, might have to buy one.

Please please please go to a belfast giants game

Vålerenga idretts forening ice hockey in norway????? Ondest Club in the EHL from norway???????

Haha I used to play in Fife back in 03 and back then they didn't have glass!!

I like how the announcer said the losing score first like a set of tennis.

Oxford University Ice Hockey Club was founded in 1885, so doesn't that make it the oldest? They were also the first Spengler Cup winners, in 1923. Edit: I didn't realise you were talking about professional teams!

Wee image of Dumbarton Rock and Castle there. The oldest castle in Scotland Ma wee hame toon Proud to be a Son Of The Rock

16€ for 1 ticket is way better than the 500$ tickets in edmonton 😂

Canny beleived you played Irish music to it... we're Scottish dude!

You should come to a Belfast giants game in Belfast , the head coach is the brother of sheldon keefe

Love the flag idea

always watch hockey videos wondering if they are canadian or american. as soon as you said stars i knew lmao

Aw great video 💙🏒💛

Hey man, your video came up in my recommended and absolutely love the content, look forward to the Manchester video. Im a Sheffield Steelers fan myself but love to watch any EIHL game, I play out of the smallest functioning rink in the UK, drop me a message if you'd like and ill chat to you about it. Keep up the great work, and safe trips!

I think you chose the best two rinks. Manchester and Fife given that they have character and charm which probably remind you of watching minor league stuff back home. Yes we have arena teams like Sheffield, Nottingham, Belfast, Cardiff and Glasgow with good atmosphere. But an arena is an arena and some can be soulless .

Get to a Sheffield Steelers game you wouldn't be disapointed!

W video

How far behind are we? Are you still in England? Haha there’s some great talent here thanks for shining a spotlight on us haha

If you want a great a hockey atmosphere you should visit Milton Keynes. Their fans are known for being the loudest in thier league.

Up the Nottingham panthers! The second oldest hockey club in the Uk and oldest in England

Flyers have the worst ice rink in the eihl but tons of history, think it needs a wee bit refurbished.

its weird finding players i used to watch in the ohl

Can't beleive they don't offer 'haggis-on-a-stick' at the snack bar

Flyers Boys 💙💛

I was in that video I seen my self in the stadium

Make sure you stop off at the UK’s most successful team in Sheffield before you fly home

Kirkcaldys finest

The sports actually Decent here with a god system and set up but barely anyone actually plays at grassroots level It’s quite big in all of Europe too

Aren’t the Oxford canadiens the oldest team in the UK?

Hail to the king Canada

I’m not very into hockey but I like the video, I like football more (soccer)

Manchester Storm fan 👋🏻 when are you in Manchester?

Typical hockey guy thing to say - I’ve lost a tooth in that barn

That accent on a guy named Hawerchuk threw me a bit. How's a guy named Hawerchuk from Ontario?

GOD BLESS THANK YOU LORD HALLALUYA ANYHOW THANK YOU JESUS THANK YOU LORD GOD BLESS HALLALUYA ANYHOW HALLALUYA ANYHOW THANK YOU LORD THANK YOU LORD GOD BLESS THIS MAN GOD BLESS GOD BLESS THANK YOU LORD HALLALUYA ANYHOW THANK YOU LORD THANK YOU JESUS THANK YOU LORD EVERY DAY I THANK YOU MORE THANK YOU JESUS YOUR MY GOD HALALLUY ANYHOW HALLALUYA ANYHOW THANK YOU LORD THANK YOU LORD ALMIGHTY THANK YOU JESUS THANK YOU JESUS
