Caig was good for us and had a proven track record throughout his career, his goal sent us to NIC when he dumped Fritsch on his bottom and buried it past Holt and silenced a full house of Purple Brigade #priceless Don't get me wrong I thought Caig was great all round but didn't contribute as much as the out and out sniper we all thought he would be. Agreed, If you look at his points on paper he was pretty decent, got the feeling he was signed to be our top goal/points scorer, but like you said, maybe a year or two too late
He was defo one of our standout players last season, I thought his work rate was superb and positioning & passing was spot on
That memory will always live with me Zamboni, perfect way to end a perfect weekend

Stockton was decent, a bit lightweight but nice skill and scored some nice goals. With him and Dingle signed I'm hoping the next couple guys have either a bit size and strength about them and someone that is going to be a top 10 scorer in the league. Dingle our top points last season didn't finish in the top 20. Top 10 scorer with a bit of size......Bobby Chaumont is yer man ;-)

Not as many points but a far superior work rate.

Joint 20th with 3 other guys.... All I'm saying is we need a big star proven points scorer IMO to be successful. Taking nothing away from Dingle by the way who is tremendous but to move on we can't rely on him to be our major scorer.

Stockton did ok last season I suppose but for me just a little lightweight.

Just seen the story in the press, "good in the room, liked by teammates and easy going" "scored a hat trick against the caps in March" when they were on a 20+ game losing streak. "This will be his second pro year" guess his season in France doesn't count.
I'm not knocking the player one bit but at least make it sound like he was a good player for us. Season highlight scoring against a terrible caps team. Yeah the context of that game made it bigger but there has to better things to say about the guy than what is in that report.
Very poor reporting.

I'd be pretty sure if we did +/- in this league when Bobby was with us his would have not been as good as youd think. He caused loads of turnovers

When I read the Dingle signing on Fife Today website it was full of spelling mistakes, it's actually leas common not 2 have a mistake in stories they write

Very poor reporting. Carson Chubak was on fire that night and the Caps were playing out of their skin Stockton was our main man that night And kept us on track for a potential confrence win For me he deserves a second season his return from injury he was a better player has good skills in a crowded offensive zone get him with right line mates he can do damage

Amazed people are still making a pitch for him as he is likely to be a cast off from Dundee, (who are making great strides in signing up a decent roster) unlike us - again. Fife plodders rather than flyers.

Pleased to see Stockton back- solid 2nd line centre who let nobody down last season and was very under-rated.
Surprise surprise, we have people focussing on his supposed weaknesses. When will the penny drop for people that you can't fill a roster with players who are the full package and can do everything? This is British hockey folks- not many superstars come here. We need guys to fill roles- Shayne fulfilled his very well last season.
With regards him not being physical enough - I don't really think he got knocked about and he was very good defensively. He took very few penalties, which is actually a good thing I'd say.
