Anyone have any idea if the back up goalie situation he been sorted yet, hearing all kinds of stuff regarding putting the new back up on a 2way with kestrels..... If that is the case why could we not have done this with the kid Marr ?

New backup? Blair Daly was announced weeks ago as our backup. Am I missing something?

Sorry I thought it was common knowledge as I seen it in rumours thread. Yeah seemingly Fife announced Daly early before he had even decided to come back!! It may have been resolved but from what I hear they are looking at getting another back up and getting him on a 2 way with Kestrels.

Hmm, it's strange then they Blair himself acknowledged his signing on Twitter when it happened.
Just one of many tweets and retweets from Blair on the subject.

i would imagine they need another back up as the kestrels have lost renny marr and craig douglas both have played for the flyers at some point

Gut feel is we're talking about a back up to the back up.

Kestrels signed 17 year old Andrew Little from Kilmarnock this summer and it was announced at the time that he will be training with the Flyers and I would also think that Warren Hargreaves who plays for the Falcons would be in the same situation as he is about the same age

I think this must definitely be regarding the backup to the backup, especially considering Blair posted on social media a couple of days ago saying it 'felt good to be back on the ice tonight after a good summer break'  |

Well there we go.
We have replaced Blair but due to him having a work opportunity. The way the article reads, it won't be the last time we see Blair in a Flyers top.
Good luck to Craig Douglas.

I have no problem with Douglas as our back up.
He played for Flyers down in Nottingham a couple of seasons ago after Daly got injured when he started and although he was very nervous and let his first shot in I was impressed with him after that.
Been an interesting summer for him. First signing with Solway, then being in Sweden with Clan last night to now being our back up.
Good luck Craig

Good luck Craig If Douglas was with the clan in Sweden(he's is also showing as a player on the chl website) has he signed any form of contract with the clan? Just wondering if he has would he even be eligible to play for us with out their permission as I thought you couldn't move between eihl clubs without mutual consent. |

A decent opportunity for Douglas to stake his claim..if he gets a chance and puts in good solid performances he may get the gig on a permanent basis...if he wants to try and build a career in hockey that is.
