No comment from Flyers on this or any other subject all summer, own goal after own goal, when will Flyers ever learn?!
PR, remember in the good old days we would get the odd update on Flyers tv, gone backwards very quickly.
And good luck Tyler, well deserved.

I don't know what the Flyers problem is with developing talent in the Elite League. It's not like they are ever going to win the league, so no harm in trying to bed in the best youngsters from KIHC each season and see how it goes. They might even be surprised with the results!

Guess that Marr and Plews leaving us for pastures new says it all really. Good luck to them. And to Flyers WTF!  ?? |

What's the point of kihc producing players if flyers have no interest in bringing them up when the Brits we do have leave or retire we will have burned our bridges that much we will struggle to get any Brits

Apart from scraping round the bottom of the league this is another main reason both coaches should never have got as far as they have, its absolutely crazy that the well documented discord between them and junior development has reached such a level that kids do not want to play for their home town club.

The kids probably do want to, but they won't get paid, it won't be their job, and that's the dream of every youngster out there to be a pro hockey player, good luck to the kid, hope he comes back to haunt flyers. |

It's been a tough summer for the Kestrels losing Craig, Renny & Tyler....3 fantastic young players who are of to new challenges in their own career's. I wish them all the very best of luck. Hopefully now, this will highlight that there is good players at the Kestrels coming through and fife flyers fans / more people come and watch the Kestrels this season, before these other kids are snapped up too  |

This Kestrels / Flyers issue is generations old. In my day as a Kestrel we had a good clutch of players being followed by an even better bunch - haigs, kings, edminston, Millie etc. there were a few drafted up to practice with flyers - Black, Kano, Keddie, Fyfe, Page - each of who got a shot and a few games but only Page & Fyfe became regulars. I ended up moving south having not played since I was 17 and essentially walked onto a Div 1 team (Lea Valley) after playing rec & reffing for a few years and was picked up by Slough the following year and played another 3 years there before moving stateside, proving that even as a very average player in KIHC, we were still better than most There were others that did similar - in fact in 91/92, I don't think there was one team in Heineken League Premier or Div 1 that didn't have a player that had played in KIHC in their early years. That Jr development was envied and still is but the gulf remains. My point is - nothing has changed and the "face fits" mentality is rife in fife.

Very true that - Richard Black scored more points in a season than Robo did same season when in the Kestrels but didn't get a sniff bar a couple of games for the flyers - ended up at Telford & Glasgow |

Again Im amazed at the response to Plews Marr etc choosing to develop their careers..if there isnt any official link between Flyers and Kestrels why are people surprised? This isnt 20/30 yrs ago. Whose to say that mgt didnt approach these players? The Flyers might have happy for them to ply their trade and get more experience first before offering a contract in latter years. Theyre not OUR players. Most players are offered 1yr deals..theres no job security..Personally I tbink Flyers should have offered contracts to some promising youngsters from ANY of the Scottish teams...Theyve decided to stick with mainly the same brits as orevious years..if it doesnt work they can bin them at 2 wks notice and look elsewhere.
