Im guessing the gif on twitter is a clue? If it is they are being far too clever, unless my brain is reading too much into it If it is, think which popular tv programme starts with a drum roll. It's very tenuous if they are doing what I think they are doing There’s literally not one sniff of a drum beat in the Emmerdale theme song? The gif was literally just a gif

The gif was literally just a gif I never said the gif was a clue but did say it was very tenuous if it was. My brain went like this. Drum roll starts Eastenders which led me down the soap path and eventually to Emmerdale but did also think that it was just a gif of a drum roll for the last signing.

Certainly looks like a brilliant signing. No reason for not being able to clear the crease this year!

If you read his elite prospects he plays pp pk and can move the puck

Yeh had a look some of the youtube footage seem likes he can skate with the puck and has some skill. Delighted with this signing. Defence has been that problem area for us but it looks as strong as it has in the elite era.

This is what the fans were crying out for fast moving puck carrying D Man Have to say delighted with guys returning and all of the new signings Have to see these guys in action but on paper we have size,grit proven quality goal scorers and D and Goal tending that complements, with Brits that can be given a regular shift. Would like to see another good BRIT D Man come in All Said we look to have improved the team for this season

The last piece of the jigsaw and on paper that looks to be another upgrade on the D from last year.
With the exception of Bloodoff, Moore, Bulmer, Owen and Basaraba, I think we kept all the decent players from last year.
We will see if Morrison, Tim Crowder, Jones, Livingston and Just replace them. They certainly have the potential.
I think we have upgraded the D heavily and should be more durable given the size of the squad has been increased by about a foot.
Initial thoughts are that this is a better squad than last season.
Need to see how well recovered Chase Schaber is and how well the new additions adjust to the big ice pad.
Really looking forward to this season. Fitzy will either be a masterstroke by the Renfrew team, or the best comedy show ever.
The real panto goons, Manchester, appear to have a chip on their shoulder about us, so those games will be fun too. They have shed a few clowns but he who pays the piper calls the tune and their coach only knows one way to play.
The EIHL protected arena teams will be worth watching just for their pedigree players and expect the same hard fought games v Dundee and Coventry.
Cardiff, Belfast and Guildford will be great to watch as they play a fast, enjoyable brand of hockey.
For differing reasons, every game promises to be a cracker. Cannae wait.

See that Quaille and the Crowders were playing yesterday, their team can’t qualify for the play offs but they still have 2 games left to play, as does the Goat, but they can still qualify. Be interesting to see who’s all here on Wednesday night.

How many do we actually have signed for game nights? 14 imports, Little,Jones, Buesa, Smith and McKenzie = 19, 2 goalies and 17 skaters seems a bit light, surely 1 or 2 more Brits to be drafted in???

Agree that we are a couple of Brits down from what we had last year.
As an absolute guess, I would think TD and Hutchy will know that the Aussie based players wont be here for pre-season so will use those games to give a few trialists a chance to get a place on the team.
Would make sense to see how they fit in with the team, the bigger ice pad and if they can work with a score board with a few bulbs missing.

Happy with the squad assembled, some bigger bodies in there that should make us stronger around both creases. On the whole I would say we have upgraded on last seasons squad..although that would seem to be the case throughout the league which should make for an exciting season.
