I'M GOING Mark the games you're attending, from the game page or the schedule, and build your own record of nights at the rink. YOUR GAMES, IN YOUR CALENDAR Subscribe to a personal feed of the games you've marked and they'll appear in your calendar app, final scores and all. SETTINGS, REIMAGINED A fresh club-first Settings screen — your team front and centre, theme previews you can see before you pick, and a fan zone for guides, ideas and feedback. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE • Calendar feeds now subscribe over a secure connection — no more "Not Secure" warning. • Subscribing to a club's fixture calendar from its team page now works for NIHL clubs. • The arena name on the game page gets a full line again — the attendance and ticket buttons sit on their own row.

Every Monday, meet the week's standout skater. Player of the Week now lands on your home screen with their photo, club colours and full stat line. New to the sport? There's a plain-language guide in Settings that explains periods, penalties, the standings and the stats — no jargon, nothing assumed. Also in this update: - Game pages open much faster the first time you tap one - A finished game now shows just its score, marked OT or SO when it went past regulation - The Elite League reads as the EIHL again throughout the app - Pre-season friendlies on the home screen no longer open a page that couldn't load

A NEW SCHEDULE The Schedule tab has been rebuilt around the way fans actually think about a season — not as a list of fixtures, but as gamedays. It opens on a week strip where every day is present whether or not there's hockey on, with your club's days marked in its own colours, and the games below grouped into a sheet per day. Your club's next game sits pinned above it all: the countdown to face-off, the rink, and tickets or the stream in one tap. Once the puck drops it becomes the live score, and after the horn it's the result — so the one game you came for is always the first thing you see. Every game on the list now says where it's being played as well as when, and both clubs carry a five-game form guide. RIGHT DAY, WHEREVER YOU ARE Schedule now anchors "today" to UK time. Following from another time zone no longer marks the wrong day's games as tonight's. YOU DECIDE WHAT'S NEXT There's a new feature board in Settings. Vote on the ideas we're weighing up, send us your own, and watch what gets built — ideas that ship stay on the board marked as shipped, so you can see what your votes turned into. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE - NIHL news cards show a real publish date instead of "Invalid Date" - The feature board stays readable when you're offline or its refresh fails, and clearly marks saved data as saved - A retry button no longer covers the error message it's offering to retry - Steadier news and transfer updates for both leagues

A NEW HOME SCREEN Home now leads with your club. Their next face-off, the live score while they're playing, or the final result and who scored once the game's done - then rows of news, signings and league leaders underneath. Out of season it fills with summer signings and league news instead of an empty schedule. A PROPER VIDEOS FEED The Latest tab's videos have been rebuilt with big thumbnails, club crests and how fresh each clip is, plus filter chips to jump straight to your club. SOLWAY NAMED AND BADGED AGAIN Solway IHC now show their club name and current crest in the NIHL standings, instead of an unnamed row you couldn't tap through. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE • Scrolling the full season on the Schedule tab is noticeably smoother, especially on older phones • Your notification settings now name every club and league you follow, not just the one you're browsing • Settings links straight to @eliteice_app on Instagram • We'll ask you to rate Elite Ice at most a few times a year, rather than after every update Plus a batch of behind-the-scenes fixes: standings that can no longer lag a day behind the schedule, club crests that come back after the phone clears its image cache, and steadier push notifications.

Know the matchup before puck drop Upcoming game pages now open with a tale of the tape: recent form for both sides, each power play measured against the other's penalty kill, goals for and against per game, and the players to watch. Out of season it names last season's leading scorers, clearly marked as such. The playoff race, at a glance The standings now draw the playoff line, so you can see who's in and who's chasing without counting rows. Your team's row adds a plain-English summary: points clear of the cut, games in hand, and what it takes to clinch. Your gameday brief One morning rundown of what's on — your team's game, or every game in the league. Your call, in Notifications. Works without signal Standings, schedule, team pages and stats now load from saved data when you're offline, so a cold start in the rink car park shows you last night's tables instead of a spinner. Saved content is clearly marked so it never reads as live. Also in this release - Ticket, stream, news and video links now open properly on devices where they previously did nothing - Fixed a crash that could close the app when the rating prompt appeared as you switched away - The news feed is back in order, newest first

The home screen now reads the season for you. During the off-season it switches to a recap look: latest transfers, the final standings, and how the season finished, all in one place.

We've also given game pages a big refresh: • Live Now scoreboard, every game in progress at a glance, right at the top of home • Scoreboard grid, period scores now show as a classic grid with each period highlighted • Cleaner game header, solid team colours, larger crests, and a sharper scoreline • Goal badges, power play, short-handed, and empty net goals are now flagged in the scoring summary • Team stats, redesigned with comparison bars in team colours, so you can see who dominated • Penalties, now lead with the infraction and show a severity badge for 2, 5, and 10 minute calls Plus NIHL National improvements: • Schedule and results now show the rink each game is played at • Game and player pages no longer show plus-minus or save % stats the league doesn't publish Smaller touches: the Upcoming / Results / All schedule tabs stay tidy at larger text sizes.
