Come on, who could do a forum spoof PR that's any good, it will maybe force the PR "department" into gear 🤣

Best of it is, he landed a couple of hours ago his last pic I’m sure was just before you leave the airport. So he’s probably in town by now looking round his new rink and the PR department still haven’t noticed yet.

I totally agree that they suck, but a full time "department" would cost and hence deplete the playing budget. I don't think that's what's needed.

Dude seriously, do you honestly think I thought we have a dedicated PR department. We all know it’s a couple of volunteers and this year a bit of outsourcing for the signing announcement videos.

You gotta laugh at our terrible PR, only Fife can have a player actually arrive in town and find out that he's not been announced yet. Yeah I get all the usual stuff about not announcing a player until the paperwork has been competed etc, but c'mon he wouldn't be here if the paperwork wasn't all done and dusted. Honestly it's getting worse every year.

Either that or they are waiting till he is here to get pictures so they can do a proper release.

Or maybe he's not signed his contract yet and will just be announced as icing every game night, like Tommy was last season.

Come on, who could do a forum spoof PR that's any good, it will maybe force the PR "department" into gear 🤣 Fife Flyers are delighted to confirm the signing of 26-year-old Canadian Joe Basaraba for the 2018/19 Elite Ice Hockey League season. Last season Basaraba signed a one year ECHL contract with Greenville Swamp Rabbits. The 6'2" Canadian spent his collegiate years at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, playing alongside NHL star J.T. Brown. Basaraba has iced in 22 AHL games and 239 ECHL games recording 0.65 PPG. The 26 year old was part of the 2010/11 University of Minnesota-Duluth championship winning team. To find out more about Joe, check out his stats and career history on Elite Prospects: www.eliteprospects.com/player/30055/joe-basarabaJoe had the following to say upon signing for the club "...". Assistant Coach Jeff Hutchins added "..." "This will probably be the best forward line we’ve ever iced in the EIHL era as we’ve improved in areas we thought let us down, mainly on the defensive side".
