I honestly think that we need an alternative league, we cannot compete with signings of this level, this year more than ever we will be a second class team, I feel we are only making up numbers Have to disagree with you. The only reason we aren't "competing" is because of TM and the boards attitude towards our ice hockey club. We should be at least competing with Dundee, Edinburgh and Coventry but we aren't, that is down to mismanagement of the club by those in charge. As has been said elsewhere, look at thedifference between the way we are ran and the way clan are ran, whole different level of proffesionalism, until we start operating a moor professional operation then things are not going to change. Nothing to do with running the club more professionally , it's all down to cold hard cash and who has enough of it , would we be running the club more professionally if we went and singed someone like Beech who would eat up a large chunk of our budget then brought in poorer class of imports to play alongside him. Now that would be mismanagement . From what I understand the club is financially sound all staff and players are paid on time that' again doesn't strike me as mismanagement . Yes we could be a bit more professional around the media/ social media side of things but all in all we along with caps , dundee n coventry are a Kilmarnock playing in a league of Man CIty.s We will have hockey here next season and the season after n so on, HULL WONT

Beech looks like a fantastic signing. Nearly a point a game in nearly 250 AHL games and decent numbers in nearly 200 NHL games. The best signing so far for next season Yeah- I remember similar things being said about Westgarth who ended up one of the worst import signings I can remember. I think folk on this thread and in general are getting a bit carried away about how strong other teams are and how weak we are. Let's wait and see how our roster looks when it's complete and see how well these other guys actually perform. Don't get me wrong I think the league will improve this season but I'm reasonably confident Flyers will be a far better team next season.

I agree with alternative league, the arena teams are playing cheque book hockey, Fife can't and probably shouldn't try to. You can see the gulf appearing between the arena teams and the rest of us; it's like they've had a meeting somewhere and decided if you want to stay big arenas are where you need to play but we have unfortunately been here before.

I hope Fife have secured their goalie, I'm sure they have but I'd feel a whole lot easier knowing for sure.

I wouldn't be at all upset if it was Mr Pitton. Flyers appear to have this unique talent of uncovering and securing the most phenomenal goalies who seem to excel at Fife. I don't know how they do it or where they get them from but I'm happy they do.

Don't think either will be back, Jason earned a call up to AHL recently, albeit for one game, and Bryan has had 2 very successful seasons since moving on.
