Eindhoven Kemphanen 14-0 Turnhout White Caps (8-1-12)
After the big arenas and big crowds of the DEL league, a return to the North Seas Cup (a Dutch/Belgian League) and a one side match in a UK style community ice rink, with an amazing speed skating track next door.
I later found out that after this the White Caps withdrew from the league, as several long terms injuries left them short in squad strength and the Dutch run league would not bend the rules to allow them to bring in replacements as the deadline has passed. Considering this side was only ever making up the numbers in a 9 team league it does appear pointless of the authorities. Mind you, I am slowly getting to understand the Dutch mentality of sticking to the rules!!
