NIHL: Hawks downed by Steeldogs

NIHL: Hawks downed by Steeldogs

BLACKBURN HAWKS  0 – 6 SHEFFIELD STEELDOGS

An Ashley Calvert hat-trick helped the visiting Sheffield Steeldogs to relatively comfortable 6-0 shutout victory of the Blackburn Hawks at the Blackburn Ice Arena, as the Steeldogs took their chances against the struggling Hawks.

The opening five minutes of the game went by quite without any real action, with neither netminder really having to do much…

Phantoms Weekend Preview...

This weekend sees the Peterborough Phantoms take on the Sheffield Steeldogs - Phantoms travel to iceSheffield on Saturday before hosting the Steeldogs on Sunday. Phantoms come into this double weekend on the back of a Penalty Shot loss to the Slough Jets on home ice. They will therefore be looking for a different outcome this weekend, but may have to do without the services of defenceman Joe Graham who picked up an upper body injury last weekend or forward James Ferrara who I am told is also injured. The Steeldogs meanwhile, will be looking to carry on their recent good fortune that saw them pick up the extra point against long time league leaders Basingstoke. They also boast a new signing in the form of Czech goaltender Dalibor Sedlar, who is expected to make his home debut this weekend. This weekend also sees the return of the popular seasonal spectacle, Air The Bear. This will take place during Sundays game and the idea is for fans to throw bears onto the ice when their team scores their 1st goal. It is in aid of charity with the bears going to this years nominated charity, Peterborough Family Voice. Note to fans bringing bears - DON'T forget to put them in a plastic bag as this will avoid them getting wet!! One final thing...GO PHANTOMS GO!!! :)

Steeldogs keep their bite

Andre Payette is tied down to a two-year deal in Sheffield, home of 2011/12's surprise package, but now has to meet expectations. Lots of people sniggered over a year ago when Payette was handed the reigns at Sheffield but few will be laughing now. The Canadian has got a lot right during his short-time in coaching, undoubtably helped by the leagues leading netminder and a sensational forward. But that detracts from a solid team with nothing spectacular about it (echos of MK from a few seasons back), apart from a great team ethic and a solid belief in what they are trying to achieve - all instilled on the team by Payette. But now, his two biggest challenges await. Firstly, the play-offs. Last year they went in without any expectations. A two legged affair against league champions Manchester, with the Sharp/Payette sideshow attraction, was always going to be a challenge. This year - a third place finish makes them favourites against Basingstoke, but with an increased expectation. They were never going to win the league and always had to battle from behind in the cup final. Now there's added pressure on a young side - can they rise up to it? Secondly - it could be a long summer, if they lose Ben Bowns and Janis Ozolins. Two players who could be challenging to replace, especially Bowns who is the key to the Steeldogs success at the back. It will be a test of Payettes coaching and scouting ability - first if he can keep the pair and, secondly, if he can replace the pair with equal quality. 'Made in Sheffield' was their tag line last summer, maybe Andre might be screaming for guys to 'Stay in Sheffield' this time around
