3 youngish players and I think the last one will be Owen for the 3rd time. It's more his comment I did this in a month, every other coach has been looking for probably best part of a year ffs were so inept all over the way to the top He saiid he wasn’t employed by the Flyers during lock down So didn’t have same time as other coaches to find players I am happy with all 6 signings so far it’s certainly freshening things up Would like to Goat back and two of our previous d men Owen we know and has won games on his own before

We're gonna get crushed. These others teams are bigger and will be more physical than the last few years the arena teams have too much money for the rest to compete. So every other coach was kept on and he was furloughed or basically unemployed well use the ****ing Internet talk to people get things in place for when you do go back to work utter **** show

In fairness we currently have 6 players signed so none of us can comment on whether we are going to get pushed around or not. Nicker was our last signing a number of years ago we need to wait and see what the other signings look like before writing the team off.
As for the signings we have made:
McKenzie - Everyone is happy we have him back. I just hope he is utilised more on the PK than in previous seasons.
Peacock - Our best British signing in the Elite league era still has lots to offer and will likely centre our 3rd line.
Anderson, Stadnyk and Benson- None of us have seen them play and their isn’t a great deal of information outside EP on them on the internet but all come from decent Hockey programmes and are young. Lets not forget how good Matt Delahey and Charlie Mosey were and they came from similar backgrounds.
Owen - One of the best goalies in the league year on year he’s reliable and still has a lot to offer. Fife always sign good goalies and Owen is certainly a good NM who will give us a chance to win every night.
There are three Brit spots and another 10 import positions to be filled with the new league rules so let’s wait and see how the rest of the team shapes up before writing them off.
I think we’ll sign another Brit Forward a Brit D Man and a Brit Goalie leaving 5 import D men still to sign and 5 more Import Forwards. Out of those signings we need a couple of guys who can fight and bring some size to the table based on the league wide signings including those north of the border. It also makes the most business sense as it will put bums on seats so hopefully we get the physical presence we need.
Overall I am pleased to see us shop in a younger market recruiting guys with something to prove rather than those who are here as a retirement gig.
In terms of returnees I think Finucci will be a shoe in if he wants to play and Emmerdahl has been rumoured to be resigning. I would however, be surprised to see any others back in Fife colours

Can’t blame the coaches on this, blame the owners for not furloughing them

Seriously what’s with the negativity. We get 4 signings tonight a proven net minder who will be great and 3 young lads ready to prove themselves. They have played at good level of NCAA hockey and now getting a chance in the professional game. Players who post numbers in those leagues generally do well. These guys are of a good age and coming in young, hungry and fresh and I’m sure they will fit in well and surprise many. That’s only 4 imports announced still a long way to go. Happy with tonight’s business let’s go!!!

Almost don’t believe I’m saying this but maybe wait until the full team is signed up before we start talk off how much clan are going to ruin us.
You will probably be right but let’s get a full team first.
On our new guys actually a decent start I would say. Not sure about a 5’9” 12 stone power forward but we will see.
Stadnyk I think looks a very good pick up. Think he will surprise a few.
Owen back in the pipes fantastic signing, dudes been quality for us before and will be again.
Happy enough be interesting to see how we go from here.
