 | IHUK has a new chairman |
 Eamon Convrey has taken on the role as chairman of IHUK. Mr Convrey is best known to fans in the UK as the Chairman of the EIHL, and as the man behind the attempts to get an arena/rink built in Dublin to host a team from (the fabled Dublin Druids).
It remains to be seen if his chairing of both IHUK and the EIHL will represent a conflict of interests.

The Liberata
Sheffield Steelers have confirmed that they have extended the contract
of their head coach David Matsos until the end of the 2010 Elite League
season
On announcing the news Steelers GM Mike
O’Connor Said “Securing our coach for the next two seasons is vitally
important for the whole club. Matty has brought the hockey side of our

coming back was my priority, now he can go and continue the great job
he has started by recruiting a team that can deliver a Championship
”For me extended Dave’s deal wasn’t a tough decision. When he arrived here we needed some direction and he gave us that. He helped bring credibility back to this organisation on the ice. Dave has grown as a coach and he will continue to do that. I have enjoyed working with him, Dave brings a work ethic to our club and I am looking forward to this continuing for many years to come”
