Have to admit, not been his biggest fan. But this season has won me over with his work ethic and not afraid to mix things up. Think he will be missed in a flyers jersey and hopefully can take over from Todd and be the new flyers coach.
I wish Danny all the very best at what's next for him.
Cheers

When Danny missed a couple of games a few weeks ago we were carrying a spare import so still had a full quota but.... when he was missing we missed him so much. There are things about him that don't count in terms of player stats but he has the intangibles that make him a tremendous player at this level. He is going to be a huge pair of skates to fill and I'm not sure how we do it to be honest.
I really wish him well in whatever he does and in my opinion he is a club legend for his overall contribution over these past 5 seasons.

Must say I enjoyed Danny on the team.
Will he take over from Todd? I really don't think so. I could be wrong but I think he want family time. After seen him skate around FIA with his kid in his arms I think that was his way or saying goodbye.

Guy gave his all every game. Played through injuries galore and got used on a third line which until this season he was the only import on. He just got stuck in. His penalty killing was immense and we will miss that energy unless replaced. All the best Danny and thank you!

been a great servant to the club over the last 5 years, he wears his heart on his sleeve plays with fire, passion and a never say die attitude, he will be very hard to replace out there, let's hope we give him a chance on his own as head coach, if not all the best in what ever he does

Think fans really appreciate the work Danny puts in on the ice and the edge he brought to our team. Something I don't see us replacing with Dutes as coach.
Danny is heading to Coventry as the new head coach (again only rumours but it sounds right considering he was in for the job 2 seasons ago) Also heard Weber is heading to one of the big boys for next season.
Terrific player and coach for the flyers for the past 5 seasons, some career in the EIHL. All the best to him in his next role.

Glad he played so well this year, had probably his best season in the last 3, but you could tell at times he was playing hurt, on the ice he's been great for us, true warrior. Iv questioned his part in the coaching set up, but I would like to see him given the reigns solo for at least next year, I fear for Dutes on his own. Cheers Danny all the best.

Good luck to Danny who has given so much to the Flyers, both on and off the ice.

Thanks for all your efforts Danny, Flyers will struggle to find another with your energy and commitment. Perhaps we will see you back as head coach one day?

Not sure if this was common knowledge but Flyers twitter posted a link to Danny's home town media report.
They detailed his injuries from this season, "Leg pain in preseason revealed a hip impingement that will require a hip replacement down the road. On top of that, Stewart tore both of his Medial Collateral ligaments and suffered through a rib Injury, among other ailments"
Take in the numerous head knocks over the past few years that is one hell of a injury list for this season alone, a season in which he missed what 6/7 games. At 37 years old. My admiration for what this guy gave to the flyers has just gone up a notch. Just unreal.

Also seems like he's keen to stay in UK from that article, or at least that's what they think. |

Incredible to play through those types of injuries and even more amazing was his level of performance when you think about it.
He's been a GREAT player in this league and for the Flyers. It's the beauty of hockey that a not particularly skilled guy can contribute so much.
The guy's won multiple championships in Coventry, been a coach in his own right and was still prepared to come here and graft away in a very thankless role at times for 5 years- mainly 3rd line and PK.
How do you replace that?
