Why won't the Flyers have some of the better guys at least training with them. They do at the beginning of the season to make the numbers for drills etc. then as soon as the imports arrive they are dumped. Doesn't cost money for them to train.

Why the outrage about Marr, he has done well by moving to Blaze, if we are signing Daley again, there is no place for Marr in Flyers, are people suggesting we dump Daley who is a proven quality back up and been loyal to Fife for someone who may or not develop, this is a what happens in hockey, and why does Tyler Pleas always get brought up, he is a good prospect but 2 or 3 seasons for being elite ready. What makes you think Tyler Plews is 2/3 away from elite level. He is 17/18, plays at G.B. level. What more does he need? Or is he not old enough to buy a round of beer yet.

Its not that the Flyers will not sign any other Brits, it comes down to the stubborness of Tom Muir to flatly allow any full time Brits on the team and that is purely a money saving exercise.Muir just does not want the Brits to be full time Because is a cheap, and short sighted. Flyers will never be anything other than a bottom half team as long as he is the owner.

Even if he was a couple of years away from being ready for the elite now is the time now is the time to develop him on a two way deal. Train with the flyers Saturday ride the pine and the flyers with the odd shift but when kestrels play on a Sunday he plays for them so he keeps getting the ice time. I'm probably being to simplistic but it sounds good to me haha

I have the utmost respect for Daly but he is never going to be a starter whereas Marr has a decent shot. Do we not want a potential starter as the backup?

Because he is 17 and plays at GB junior level and would get destroyed by seasoned power forwards and players with nhl experience who have fully developed physically, let him train with Fife now and again and build up his game with regular ice time at under 20 level. I'm pretty sure that being a regular at Bogart s does not ensure you a game for Flyers, a lot of fat unfit guys in there.

I really thought Marr would have been in our long term plans. In 2 years when Manchester and London join the having a decent GB nettie would give us an extra forward or d import like Cardiff and Belfast have. Good luck to him.

Josh Scoon is up against the same players and he is about 1/2 the build/weight.

It's been said thousands of times on here but the fact is, Fife flyers are an amateur hockey club in almost every aspect except the league they play in, it will probably never change. Kirkcaldy junior development has always and probably always will develop players capable of playing at a higher level, most unfortunately will quit because they have a job and don't want to move to England, some really good players will leave to become pro, flyers Will only pick up the ones who are happy to give up on their professional hockey dream and be part of an amateur set up that has no interest in them.

Andy Findlay, a really good regular player in the BNL, served the flyers for a long time, very good British player, look at his comment on Facebook and he sums it up perfectly for me by calling the flyers a "joke club". And he will know more than most on here ever will.

Was being sarcastic!! Beth Scoon has a bigger physique than her brother & probably the better player. A lot of the players from junior development even years ago moved down south as it was a better option, money/development.
