The Belfast Giants have just secured their sixth ever Challenge Cup title, and with the competition over for another year, it's another year where it's been criticised, despite changes. So what can the EIHL do?

The EIHL weekend preview show returns ahead as we're now into the business end of the year.

The first trophy has been handed out, so now all attentions are solely on the title race.

Four topics rather than your usual five this week

The 2025 Challenge Cup final between the Belfast Giants and Cardiff Devils is just days away, so it's time to preview the game.

Joining me to discuss the upcoming final is Patrick Smyth from the highly successful A View from the Bridge podcast, as well as Cardiff Devils commentator Dan Rhydderch as they both offer their insights into the teams form, players to watch and expectations for the game.
