Here we are once again, it’s time for predictions, thoughts and downright guesswork for the 2011/12 Elite League Season Preview. As ever I have asked for a supporter from each of the teams to preview their own side and how they see the rest.
The contributors for each team are as follows, click on the team name to go straight to the preview:
Belfast Giants – Patrick Smyth from KOTG A View From the Bridge Podcast
Braehead Clan – Craig Anderson from Slapshot Scotland
Cardiff Devils – Mark Finn aka Finny from The Inferno
Coventry Blaze – Ian Lyons aka Spoonerdudes from The Cage Forum
Dundee Stars – Mark Lyell from the Dundee Stars Fanzine
Edinburgh Capitals – Matt Dible aka Sabresfan96 from Edinburgh Capitals Forum
Fife Flyers – Mike Alexander aka Mike A from THF
Hull Stingrays – Christian Ward from The F Block Blog
Nottingham Panthers – Jono Bullard from The Cat’s Whiskers
Sheffield Steelers – Richard Craine aka Doom from Steeltalk
Once again The Cat’s Whiskers would like to thank all the individual contributors for giving up their time to write their season previews, it is very much appreciated.
Some great articles there, gents. A lot of very honest and balanced opinions.Even Jono was realisitic in his Sheffield prediction this season, after predicting them to finish 6th before.
I’ll stick my neck out and give you my predictions;
1. Giants
2. Panthers
3. Steelers
4. Blaze
5. Clan
6. Devils
7. Stars
8. Rays
9. Flyers
10. Capitals
Looking forward to it all starting up again. Enjoy the rest of your summers, and remember, keep your heads up, or keep your eyes on Voth!

Good job as always.
I think it would be good to contact all the writers mid-season and ask for their predictions, updates. Then also maybe an end of season review.

As Carl wrote in August I think it’d be a great idea if the writers could spare the time to write a mid season update – it’d make very interesting reading !
