We’re, if nothing else, inconsistently consistent….wait, have we used that one before?!

This week, Marty and John are in their usual seats at the mics, but this time Dave is ‘calling it in’ and Arn is….well, absent….but that doesn’t stop us here at Door 14 Hockey!

In a new episode of the Door 14 Hockey podcast, the guys begrudgingly discuss Panthers success in CHL. The gang get political, get outraged by…

A few weeks ago, many of you will have read our prediction blogs on all three conferences.

 

Some of you may also have read the specific section in my (John’s) Erhardt Conference predictions blog concerning the Nottingham Panthers, which I have included for reference (click the photo to read the whole Erhardt prediction blog).

Marty, Dave, John and Aaron are back again, and this time, they’re throwing the rule book out! (Not that we had one to start with you understand…)

After a bumper weekend of thrilling games in the EIHL, the guys chat all about the Giants’ games against the Sheffield Steelers, Paul Thompson’s mini-meltdown. We also look at some NHL arena stories, youth development in Canada, fan-made uniforms, and Aaron gives us…

So we’ve seen the Gardiner Conference reviewer by Marty. This time around John turns the attention to the Erhardt Conference, or as many are calling it; the Arena Teams.

The Belfast Giants, the Cardiff Devils, the Nottingham Panthers and the Sheffield Steelers will duke it out for conference silverware and perhaps even the league trophy itself, the Monteith Bowl. The four teams look to each other as the main competitors for…

We’re properly back for the 2017-18 Season!

In this slightly late pre-season edition of the Door 14 Hockey Podcast, the guys discuss all things EIHL as they prepare for the start of the new season. From conference system changes, new teams and those new pesky Russian Edinburgers!

We’ll also level with you, there were some…issues…with this recording, so apologies for the quality and the edit in the middle. Gremlins have been identified…

As the 2017/18 season kicks off, it’ll officially be 10 years since I arrived in Belfast from a small place called Fife (some of you may have heard of it). Nine years since I got to know Marty, around eight since Dave finally accepted me into the group and seven since I took Aaron, a guy I’d met a handful of times before through the other two to a…

It’s about time we spoke about why we do this and what it’s all about with this thing we call Door 14 Hockey.

So, we finally got here….an actual Blog on the website!

 

It’s taken us a bit of time and while we all love recording the podcast, but it’s taken us months to get one of us to sit down and type something. Must remind…
