Ice Hockey: Sheffield Steelers still have hope
SKIPPER Steve Goertzen has urged Sheffield fans to stick with the team.
The Steelers are already seven points behind Elite League table-toppers Belfast after losing to them on their own ice.
But Goertzen, 29, insists the Yorkshire side can still live up to their pre-season billing as title favourites.
He
said: “It’s not where we want to be in the locker room and for the
fans, I’m sure it’s not where they want to see us. We have got to look
forward. The effort is there. It’s a long-term goal and we’ve still got a
lot of work to do and need the fans behind us as much as they want us
to win.”
He
insists the title race is a long way from being over, saying: “This is
like a golf tournament. Right now Belfast are hitting a lot of birdies,
but it’s pretty hard to do that over the course of seven months!”
SWINDON have sacked Finnish forward Juha Silvander, 31, after scoring only three times in his first 15 games.
