Rumours have been doing the rounds on various message boards about different changes to the league next season given that it is expanding from eight to ten teams. Below is a look at the majors ones with my thoughts…

If you read the message boards across the Elite League then it will come as no surprise to you that the EIHL looks set for major shake up’s this coming summer. It wouldn’t be an off-season in British Hockey without rumors, lack of answers, thoughts, theories and wild suggestions but this time the rumors seem strong and the possibility that we’ll be watching a six-team Elite League next season, down from a ten-team league this year, is very real.
Basingstoke is already gone and Manchester, Newcastle and Edinburgh look set to follow. Finances as always are the reason for the moves and with the credit crunch in full swing these four teams have clearly felt the pinch.
