Weekend Preview - Hull (EC, EL) (iceSheffield)


Just the one game this weekend for your Sheffield Steelers, as we entertain the Hull Stingrays at iceSheffield - let's not welcome them after last time.

Tonight's game has a 7:30 faceoff, not 7pm.



Pascal Morency skated again in training during the week, but will not feature as his progress is still being monitored. No news is bad news, presumably, about Robert Dowd, so don't expect him to ice.

Ben O'Connor is expected to continue, so expect Rod Sarich or Cullen Eddy to continue up top, as Luke Ferrara is away with the Phantoms this weekend.


Hull lost Matt Larke at the start of the week, the American citing family reasons for his departure. He has been replaced by 6'3", 220lb forward Will Frederick, but he will not be here for this game.


A tasty contest with plenty of goals? Na. Tasty yes, but tight.

Steelers 3-1 Stingrays


Coverage tonight is ONLY from @FrozenSteelMNL. Our tame livetweeter Tom is not at the game, so expect live updates from the MNL account.
