    Sweet Charity...

    Charity is something of a theme of today's bumper post-beginning with the news that the Cardiff Devils were a part of the massive fundraising effort to save Bison this week, in the persona of owner Matt Burge. Here's part of the press release:

    The Cardiff Devils are proud to have provided substantial, immediate five figure cash injection that will enable the Basingstoke Bison to compete in the BMI Baby Elite League next season.Cardiff Devils owner Matt Burge commented: “I am delighted to be able to help Basingstoke out in this way. We need to look at the bigger picture and the impact of no Bison team in the Elite League would have been severe; it would have not only been terrible news for Bison fans, but the league as a whole.”


    There's not really much else you can say other than "fair play to the man"...


    Following that, Coventry are due to play the Telford Tigers in a fundraising game later this month...I'm feeling quite warm and fuzzy now...

    Charity Shield: Thirty Second Review: Cracking game, this, although the somewhat sparse crowd may be a worry at the Skydome if it continues (1300 or so by my estimate is very low for a curtain-raiser)...

    Belfast Webcast is back: Starting this weekend, the much-praised Belfast webcast team will be broadcasting all Giants games at the Odyssey-this Saturday against Cardiff is free to listen to, so give 'em a try, you won't regret it. The new address is here: http://www.giantslive.tv

    Round the Rinks to (hopefully) appear later tonight (around 9pm), assuming the Internet problems at my house are fixed (bloody lightning)...

    If not, it'll be tomorrow afternoon. Which I appreciate is a bit late, but I'm doing my best with a rubbish BT phoneline...:)
