A fresh chapter for EIHL clubs
The Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) is set to kick off its pre‑season schedule with a series of exhibition matches that showcase new coaching appointments and updated team branding.
Glasgow Clan and Dundee Stars opened their campaigns at Braehead Arena in Scotland, marking the first time the two sides have met in a competitive setting since the Clan reached the Playoff Finals Weekend last year.
Dundee Stars used the occasion to debut a refreshed logo while their new head coach, Scott Dutertre, made his first appearance on the bench, adding a layer of anticipation for the upcoming season.
Across the border, Nottingham Panthers entered the fray by hosting French side Ducs d’Angers at the Motorpoint Arena, a venue that had just witnessed the French team play in Cardiff on Saturday.
The series of matches not only highlights the logistical reach of the league but also underscores the blend of tradition and innovation as clubs experiment with fresh visual identities and coaching strategies.
Fans in the United States and beyond can look forward to a season that promises both competitive firepower and a renewed aesthetic direction for several participating teams.
