With Boyd going to Racers, Boxill rumored to be going back to Giants and now Mckenzie it doesn't bode well for improving our brit core.
I've heard from a few folk that Tommy and Soonie will be retiring and with the lack of ice time i'd be surprised if Beattie came back.

Unfortunately we have made a rod for our own back with the way the coaches have treated any british player who has iced for the Flyers in recent times.
I'm surprised any brit would want to play for the Flyers because there ain't gonna be much actual ice time involved and the only players who get called out by TD for their performance are the brits. It's a lose lose situation.

I think you have to start thinking about bringing them through yourself. Young Chad Smith & Reece Cochrane could be EIHL ready with some work.
We've done similar with Kirk, Shudra, Brown etc and it's giving us ready made Brits.

You'll have extra games against the so called "bigger" sides so 3 lines and lack of Brit usage may cause problems.

I seem to recall somewhere that the No of imports was to be reduced gradually. I may be mistaken, I usually am.

Unless we farm players south, the SNL isn’t high enough standard and the jump is bigger. Smith should be getting consistent 3rd line minutes though, hopefully his Australian stint brings him on even more

The guy who runs Fife Flyers unofficial saying we could see another player heading to a Scottish rival....he was spot on about Heelis and other stuff apparently. Just have to wait and see I suppose.
