Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Premier Division champions, Sheffield Steelers, could miss out on the end-of-term party at Wembley, when four of the top eight teams contest the championship title.
The team who lost just five of 35 league matches have lost two out of three play-off games, first to Nottingham Panthers mid-week and then, more importantly, to Fife Flyers on Saturday.
Fife are equal on points with Panthers, who faced a Humberside Hawks side rising from eighth in the league to challenge the second-placed side. A frenetic finish saw Panthers have a goal disallowed for kicking the puck in, before Scott Morrison tucked in the winner for Hawks.
Edinburgh Racers lead the other qualifying league, with Cardiff Devils a point behind.
