FSB Announcement - Changes at the Helm

Changes at the Helm

Hello everyone! We hope that you have been enjoying yourselves in the off-season, we have all certainly struggled without a hockey fix! There are however a few things that we would like to address before the puck drops on a new season.

Firstly, we would like to congratulate everybody involved with the UK Forums All-Star weekend that recently took place at Ice Sheffield as all their efforts have raised a mind boggling amount of money for some very worthy charities. Secondly, we also would like to say how pleased we are at not just the level but the quality of promotions being done by teams around the EIHL. It is refreshing to see that all clubs have turned it up a gear or two during the summer break. Not only that; but we are genuinely excited to see that the calibre of players coming to our shores has seemingly improved once more and this can only be a good thing for the league itself and hockey fans nationwide.

Now we have the addressed the above issues; we would like to take this opportunity to inform you of some definite and potential changes here at Frozen Steel.

First of all, there are also a couple of new ideas that we are looking to implement in the not too distant future. We are looking at introducing our own weekly podcast; this we hope to have more information shortly. The other item we are planning to introduce is a monthly competition where those of you attending Steelers games home or away, can tweet us pictures of yourselves at the game and the picture we judge to be the best, funniest or most random during the month in question - will win a prize of our choosing from either the Steelers merchandise stands or from our friends over at Cross Check Clothing. If the prize in question requires knowing a size of clothing, we will contact the winner so as to make sure you win something that fits you.

Also, during the summer Tom advised us that he would like to take more of a back seat role within Frozen Steel due to personal circumstances. This has therefore resulted in a couple of tweaks to the team and their respective roles. Mark will take over the editing role that Tom was doing and as such now has access to the FSB Twitter account alongside Alan and Tom. A lot of the other responsibilities and contributions from other sources will remain the same, including Tom still contributing with articles of his own as well as his part in our Match Night Talk Show on Audioboom.

We also have a personal message for Tom: 

"Buddy, we will always be here for you through thick and thin on this journey. You will always be part of this team. We know times are tough but please never be afraid to come and talk to either of us or any of your hockey friends, whether they are in Sheffield or elsewhere in the League. Just do us a favour in return, make sure you keep practicing the Walkie Talkie dance!"

In closing, we would like to thank you all for taking the time to read this article and for all your continued support. We look forward to seeing and hearing from all of you from around the league. If you have any questions then please feel free to tweet us at the accounts shown below and we will answer those questions/queries as best as we can.

In the meantime, we are off to find some shelter. Apparently, there is a Storm coming...

Regards,

Alan and Mark
