Sam Jones the standout. Impressed with Jamieson and Buesa. Mckenzie was poor and looked laboured on the saturday. Smith i just dont get unfortunately, harsh but dont think he’ll ever be ready if he doesnt develop soonish. Buesa and to an extent jamieson way ahead of him in my opinion.

Agree with you on Sam Jones being the standout there super impressed with him. Jamieson also surprised me even for his first game he didn’t seem to nervous and he managed to create a good chance for himself. Think in the second game Buesa did look knackered though. I do agree with you on smith aswell but feel he can grow into a game as it goes on and also agree with you on McKenzie hopefully he’ll be better for the first regular season game

Sam Jones is gonna be a good player for the Flyers, looked comfortable on the puck and he's fit as a fiddle. Buesa did look absolutely knackered on Sunday night, he was blowing out his **** during the 2nd period.
I wasn't there on Saturday but I was chatting to Marty's dad on Sunday and yes he did get ice time.

Glad Simpson got some ice time sadly can’t comment on how he played cause had no idea what number to look out for on Saturday

Only went to Sunday’s game and was very impressed with Jones who was MOM for me, comfortable on the puck and has great skating ability which he used to good effect joining the rush. Buesa looked laboured at times and Smith was poor throughout.

McKenzies about 32 years old, he’s not in the young Brit category

Saw more from Jamieson in 2 games than Smith in 2 seasons. It's a hard league for a smaller body, you need to play bigger, Chad doesn't look like he wants to belong.

How can you expect the local prospects to get any better every year if they virtually get no ice time every season? Imo the 2 that left last season Reece and Caly have done the right thing and probably won't be back. Until a coaching change for flyers it's a dead end for young talented locals. How many years now in elite and not one fife boy has made it to a regular shift. No wonder the talented other lads leave the kestrels knowing they have no chance with current coaches at flyers.

Well that’s not totally true as Muir and Wands did get a regular shift, I don’t watch the kestrels so I don’t know what players are coming through though.

If I were a young and up and coming hockey player in Fife I wouldn't be holding out any hope of playing for the Flyers, given how other young brits have been treated I would be off elsewhere.
Part of TD's legacy the flight of hockey talent from Fife and no wonder, how to sit on a bench for seasons on end with little hope of getting on. Sorry I'm like a stuck record but come on youngsters break into the NHL every year but we cack our pants about trying out a few kids in the EIHL, the EIHL!ooohhh steady on there that's a league packed with z list imports, old and injured guys, guys on holidays no way a youngster could handle that.

Once again where are all these budding elite young Brits from kihc playing...they are not elite standard. It's not Fifes fault there is too big a gap between kestrels and flyers.

100% agree it's the current structure in Scotland SNL to EIHL the gap is to great People need to understand this before the dish out blame Jones a prime example coming in for EPL The guys that have left to go south is the correct move for them at this stage of career They show their worth and there is 10 EIHL doors open to them as lot of top Brits coming to end of shelf life
