The hockey season is back, and you can follow it all with us right here on BIH.
We are working on an archive of matches, stats and players from BIH in the past few years.
Head Coach David Matsos said that the Steelers deserved their win on Friday against Cardiff and that the whole team dug in and showed great character to come back to beat the Devils.
"The result was so important to us" said Head Coach David Matsos "there is a ton of pressure on these guys right now so winning was massive, those 2 points feel like 4 at the moment.
"However I was more impressed with how we played, certainly in the 2nd half of the game, we showed some steel and a ton of character, we played hard and we deserved the points, we deserved the win.
"Jonathan Phillips hasn't eaten in days, he has lost a stone in weight after the virus he had, he is as thin as a rake yet plays hard, so hard every shift. Every player did their job tonight, the D were a little all over the place early on but came back hard and played really well in the 2nd and 3rd.
"That game tying goal by Joey was huge, then of course there was the new guy Mike Sgroi. I think we all expected a big night from him but not perhaps the night he had. I thought he played well and showed us signs of what is to come.
"He is in great shape but he is dead tired and we could all see that. It was only right that he ended the night as the hero, it was a great goal and it sent everyone home happy. He was brought in here to be a spark, energise the place and that is what he has done already.
"Mike Sgroi will be the headlines I'm sure but I thought the whole team were stars tonight".
