Hockey players talk to each other, ask each other about places they have played. I can't see many giving positive feedback on fife. From the management all the way to the fans. Run like a Mickey Mouse organization, Stone Age ice arena, evening training, having to over play due to lack of brits that can play at elite level, keyboard warrior fans that take to social media to cut down players. Etc. just some examples. Can have all the budget we want but if players don't want to come here we are stuck with the same thing every year. Players say what we want to hear to start off on the right foot and not ruffle feathers, would love to hear what they actually think.
As for next season I really don't see any returning , maybe 1 or 2 if that. Budget will be brought down , gonna see younger NCAA or Low end echl. Single guys to cut on housing and cars. Sure kitty's like the sound of that. We are so behind on the other teams unless they are going to blow our minds with 5-10 signings in one day haha.

Sure kitty's like the sound of that. We are so behind on the other teams unless they are going to blow our minds with 5-10 signings in one day haha. I don't think that is totally accurate though. Players have consistently said what a great place it is to play in Fife and the majority have not had a bad word to say about the Flyers, not in public anyway, and if you hear new players, who have said that they have done their homework on the Flyers, when they sign they all say that they have heard nothing but good things from former players. Now that could easily be lip service for the media and fans but I don't think so. I genuinely believe that players are really looked after by this club when they come here. There are too many of them have said that they have really enjoyed their time at the Flyers for some of it not to be the truth I also disagree about your comment about the Stone Age arena. Once again many players love this building because it is so old and you don't get places like this anymore, probably not anywhere in the world and players do genuinely prefer buildings like this to the atmosphere less arenas. You should have heard TJ Caig and Ryan Dingle when they first came here and how much they loved this building when they first saw it It also not true about the evening/late night training. Flyers now have first choice of when they want the ice for training and how often they want it

But it works both ways, some players will give a glowing appraisal of life in Fife. Zero risk of getting cut, no drink curfew, play poorly but you're guaranteed a regular shift, no need to interact with junior players etc,etc,etc

in 2 full seasons we probably got about a months worth of what Foxy can really do when fit focused and on top of his game. Not enough to warrant a 3rd season.
Stockton good player but as already said the injury is a hard one to predict and slowing down because of it would kill his game completely at this level (if that was the case obviously) with that in mind we cant gamble on him we need all our guys on top of their game not spending half season getting back to standard.
