So what do you class a team with three imports in the eighties and the rest of the squad made up of guys who had full time jobs away from hockey and played if they could get time off to me that is amateur. Think you need to take your head out your **** and wake up and smell the coffee

Back in those days the bulk of your so called professional players were mostly out of pocket playing for Fife Flyers, Caley, Chad, Reece and Wando would probably fall into that bracket today.

Might be professional as far as the majority of the players contracts are concerned but there's more to a professional hockey club than that.
Media interaction, match night entertainment, PR, travel arrangements, use of social media, supporter relations, match footage... to name a few are extremely amateur.
Comparative "gate teams" such as Dundee embarrassingly show us up how" amateur" we are.

The Stars match and highlights footage is in a different world to ours a totally professional product against our embarrassingly poor one. And lets not talk about our commentators, lovable as they may be, they do our image no good what so ever.

Even as a Clan fan, I always liked Bean Anderson when he was commentating on your games. Every club that has their own commentating team shows, unintentionally most times, a wee bit of home team bias. (The worst are the NHL teams !!) I hate listening to Belfast Giants broadcasts. They can't see anything from a neutral point of view. Simon Kitchen? Nice bloke but jeez he can't see past his own team. Bean Anderson used to call it the way he saw and sometimes got an earfull from your own fans. Not sure who your other man was.

As far as the match night footage is concerned, its more than the actual commentators. It's the investment in video equipment, sound equipment, lighting, editing packages, production expertise.. etc. Again using Dundee as a comparison, they are 5k ultra HD whilst we are vhs.... or betamax!
