The new EIHL season is almost here, and the Door 14 Hockey Podcast is back with a packed pre-season episode!

We’re looking ahead to pre-season 2026/27, discussing the upcoming games and what we’re expecting as teams get ready for another season of Elite League hockey.

We also get into the new rule changes coming to the EIHL, including the expanded use of coach’s challenges.

The OVO Hydro is set to host three games in December, so we discuss what this means for the league

We also take our first look at the proposed new hockey arena in Dublin.

It wouldn’t be a Door 14 pre-season episode without talking jerseys!

We take a look at the latest designs from:

Belfast Giants

Plus, we take a look at the back of the Fife Flyers jerseys because apparently the front wasn't available!
