Welcome again to the views "From The Editor's Chair". I've made the first one of the new year a kind of look back where some of you have kindly offered your hockey highlight and lowlight of 2016. Thanks to all that have contributed, I really appreciate them. Here we have 2016 thanks to you:
First up is Andy Roberts (@ic3creamman):
Highlight - The away trip to Jönköping, Sweden for the CHL game there.
Lowlight - Any from witnessing the blow up bear, Roddy's retirement, the increase of the football mentality idiots at games.
Glynn Birkett-Morley (@glynnm76):
Highlight - Steelers winning back to back league titles.
Lowlight - Getting hammered by the Panthers in the Challenge Cup semi-final first leg.
Nathan Turner (@NJT75Owl):

Lowlight - Eddy retiring.
Tony (@DISGU15ED):
Highlight - Belfast weekend, January 2016, where I took part in the beach ball interval game and people doing the conga in Rockies.
Lowlight - Losing 8-1 to second tier EC Red Bull Salzburg was pathetic.
Carol Ibbotson (@ladygrey30):
Highlight - Seeing how happy my daughter was when she was on the ice for Hewy's testimonial as a mascot. #ProudMum
Lowlight - When Blaze split the away fans. Their fans were swearing and arguing and it's the only time I've ever felt so uneasy at a game.
Kev (@richardwilcock4):
Highlight - The trip to Fife when we won the league, an absolutely fantastic effort by our fans to get up there and fill their away blocks.
Lowlight - The same as Carol's.
Roxanne Reynolds (@roxanneangelmum):
Highlight - Winning the league.
Lowlight - The fighting between fans which seems to have reared its ugly head.
Steve Owen (@steowe1968):
Highlight - Fife with Chloe being snapped in background whilst our friend Cullen Eddy celebrated.
Lowlight - Not getting to the play-off weekend by choking against the Chavs consistently, oh and Valaprick!
Nicki Blueitt (@owlsteeler):
Highlight - Winning back to back league titles in Fife. That was special.
Lowlight - I'll go along and agree with what Carol said.
Bryan Ibbotson (@bryibbo):

Highlight - The Belfast double header weekend.
Lowlight - Crashing out of every Cup.
Myself (FSB Editor) ....
Highlight - Fife away to win the league was amazeballs, I even got on the EIHL website the following day.
Lowlight - The lack of a phone signal in Cardiff's new rink, sort it out "Killer!"
