In certain situations, we cannot guarantee with certainty the situation has support from the IIHF Rulebook or IIHF Casebook. In addition, EIHL Hockey Operations, in co-operation with the Department of Player Safety (DOPS), has developed specific rule amendments. The purpose of the EIHL Casebook is to clarify the interpretation of specific rules and in specific cases, a modification to the existing IIHF rule. This document serves as an official release of the interpretation and governing rules for the 2019 - 2020 EIHL season. The interpretations set forth in the EIHL Casebook will replace or in specific cases, supersede the ruling that is currently within the

    BRIDGEPORT SOUND TIGERS: COACHES BIOS BRENT THOMPSON - HEAD COACH Brent Thompson is in his eighth season as head coach of the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, which also marks his 10th year in the New York Islanders organization. Thompson was originally hired to coach the Sound Tigers on June 28, 2011 and led the team to a division title in 2011-12 before being named assistant South Division coach of the Islanders for two seasons (2012-14). On May 2, 2014, the Islanders announced Thompson would return to his role as head coach of the Sound Tigers. He is 260-225-53 in 538 career regular-season games as Bridgeport's head coach. Thompson became the Sound Tigers' all-time winningest head coach on Jan. 28, 2017, passing Jack Capuano with his 134th career victory. Prior to his time in Bridgeport, Thompson served as head coach of the Alaska Aces (ECHL) for two years (2009-11), winning the Kelly Cup Championship in 2011. During his two seasons as head coach in Alaska, Thompson amassed a record of 83- 50-11 and won the John Brophy Award as ECHL Coach of the Year in 2011 after leading the team to a record of 47-22-3.

But posting a few pictures of a star player on Twitter or Instagramming a hastily cobbled together highlights reel from last night’s match just won’t cut it. Fans want richer, more “ engaging content that makes them feel a deeper connection to the “ club they follow and the sport they love. 3 And clubs have an opportunity to capitalise on their social media followings to drive more fans to matches, sign them up to membership packages and boost commercial revenues by having them buy the latest kit and merchandise. The opening is there for clubs to better engage with and capitalise on their followers, but where some are hitting the back of the net with ease, many more are missing an open goal by miles. (Feel free to substitute your own clichés in that last sentence based on your preferred sport). To see who’s making the most of social media and using it as a channel to truly engage fans and followers, we looked at the Instagram, Facebook and Twitter profiles of 80 professional sports clubs across the UK and Ireland.
