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. Jamieson had a good game Sunday. Undoubtedly wouldn't of been possible w/out strong assist from Smith tho... he's visibly came back stronger this season IMO.. a dark horse. Both players shown worthiness of more ice time - just hope to see this consistently given, makes things more interesting when local talent is debut.

Lets face it, if Todd had a full squad preseason the brits would of got next to no ice time like last few years. His hand was forced to play them, not by his choice anyways. Don't be surprised if its back to normal service now, even though young local brits in the club just proved they are capable given the chance. Had 4 lines last year, never played the 4th line all year.

Lets face it if you don't have a Canadian accent or an import you are pretty much not gonna make it as a Flyer under Todd. How many Kestrels players have flown the nest before this season alone as they know there is no future for them and before anybody pipes up about not being good enough how do we know if that's correct if they never get a chance.

That's the point though..nobody in Britain wants the Fife youngsters for elite...surely they can't all be wrong that they are not elite level.

It's true the gap is enormous from SNL to elite, but it's also true that our juniors will play in Scotland and GB teams with or against others who are getting a chance at elite and don't look out of place. Take a look at Kris inglis in Dundee, not any better at all than Marty Simpson, one gets regular elite one mucked about by his home town team. They need to be developed, there is the talent, and if they can play a whole game Vs del2 they can certainly play shifts against most of elite.

The brits this year have impressed with the chance they were given this pre season and personally if they can play a full game with a regular shift against danish and del2 teams then I think they’ve earned a shot at playing in the elite league. Plus whenever one of the younger guys puts in a good shift the atmosphere gets better aswell so hopefully they do get a chance this year

They need to be developed, there is the talent, and if they can play a whole game Vs del2 they can certainly play shiofts against most of elite. Marty had his chance a couple of seasons ago..and he knew he blew it. But hopefully he learned now what it takes to make the grade. Listen to Todd's interviews and you will see why some of the Ayers don't get further..and it's not lack of talent.
