Welcome. Game starts at 16:00.

Group N continues on saturday with the game between JYP Jyväskylä and Sheffield Steelers. Game is played in Jyväskylä and it is the first game of this years CHL for the home team. Brittish visitors started their CHL with a 9-1-loss to Frölunda Gothenburg on thursday.

JYP was also in last year's CHL and made it to the first round of the playoffs. Skellefteå was a bit too big challenge and ended JYP's cup run. JYP's season in national league, Liiga, was pretty succesful as the Central-Finnish team won the bronze medal.

Steelers is one of EIHL's teams to beat. They have been twice in a row in EIHL's finals. They won the championship in 2013-14 but they couldn't take the second championship in a row in last year's finals.

JYP's roster had some pretty big changes in the post-season. Finnish team lost some big parts of it's roster like Eric Perrin, Mikko Mäenpää and Markus Hännikäinen. Maybe the most important new name in JYP is Nolan Yonkman, who has played over 700 games in the AHL. During his 14 seasons in North America he was the team captain six times.

Steelers made some pretty big changes to their roster during the post-season. There are still some same faces than last year like Jason Hewitt, Jonathan Phillips, Jeff Legue and Rod Sarich who all have played over 400 games in this team. One interesting name is Mathieu Roy who was Steelers' best goal scorer last year with 95 points in 64 games. The Brittish team made an interesting signing as they signed Mike Duco who has 18 games of experience in the NHL.
