EIHL Playoff Finals Weekend 2009 - LIVE
01-Apr-2009Even with the season sadly over for fans on this side of the Irish Sea, Kingdom Of The Giants has been busy preparing a gift for the site's users. Despite the fact that you won't be able to follow the Giants' progress the finals weekend, hockey fans will still be able to access live information from Nottingham, brought to you through an exciting cooperative project with a new ice hockey website UK Hockey LIVE
Close to 1000 fans logged in to the live text coverage of the Giants' Playoff quarter final first leg on KOTG and UK Hockey Live's test coverage of the Newcastle Vipers v Coventry Blaze second leg this weekend. This number will undoubtedly increase as the season draws to a dramatic conclusion this weekend.
The coverage is totally free, and will offer a minute by minute text update service, as well as end of period audio reports from the UK Hockey Live team, live photos, and all the latest in game news.
If you use Twitter, tag your tweets with #ukhl to submit your comments to the live weekend long feed on the website.
Bunkers Hill Inn will also host a live edition of A View From The Bridge on Saturday morning, bringing you all the early stories from Nottingham and featuring fans from all over the UK hockey scene.
News, views, pictures and blogs will be uploaded throughout the course of the weekend, bringing you all the latest information from Nottingham as well as interviews from fans and players alike.
We hope that you will help to make this experiment a success by visiting UK Hockey LIVE over the course of the weekend to check out the happenings from the Finals Weekend, and that throughout the event and that you can keep us updated with suggestions on how to improve the service.
