Stars have signed Caly Robertson, that’s another young Fife Brit in EIHL.
Best of luck to him.

Everyone will have their own opinion on the local talent debate, here's mine.
I honestly don't know if any of the young guys that have pulled on a Fife jersey are good enough or not to make it in the EIHL. I've never seen enough of them to make an honest call, for most of the guys being on the Flyers team has meant little more than sitting on the bench and getting a shift, if they're lucky, once every couple of games. It must be soul destroying for them to be a part of the team but have so little ice time. How are they meant to show their potential and develop as players with ice time limited to next to nothing? There have been plenty of times where a game has been over long before the end where we have either been well ahead or on the end of a leathering where youngsters could have been blooded but our coaches have chosen to hardly ever play them no matter the circumstances. They ain't gonna develop or learn sitting on their backsides the only place this will happen is by playing minutes on the ice.
In my view TD has been an abject failure as a coach in the EIHL and is lucky still to be in a job, his choice of imports mediocre at best, his tactics - what tactics, his defence of import players but criticism of local players astounding and the lack of ice time given to youngsters awful. No doubt he is a Flyers legend but for me I'd have him out.

I totally agree Joe yes he will be a club legend, but he has no interest in making local lads get where they want to go. But it's not just his fault it's the club in general.

Where’s the rest of the team? Surely full team signed visas sorted Or will it be a team made up of Kestrels for games against Dundee No other fans in the League have to deal with this same old We must be having difficulty recruiting Is that why tickets not on sale yet Get the finger out Flyers

No doubt he is a Flyers legend but for me I'd have him out. Thats the bit Ive never got, down by 5/6 goals last ten minutes give them shifts, up against the caps by 8/9 goals yet still they all sat. BNL days, Sammy Titch Mookie those guys got the crowd going with their efforts even as young guys breaking through. Appreciate you wouldn't go 3 young guys altogether these days but give them a chance. This season clubs are starting back after a long lay off as are a lot of players so go 3 lines give Scott regular icetime for pre season and say first ten games. Tell him up front your playing in these games so dont panic you wont be benched your getting 8-12 mins ice time, 30-40 sec shifts so 12-16 shifts. He might fail he might do well what you will see is improvement. adjust as needed against Giants Devils etc, put him on with our tougher guys and better players who can help him. Extra training on ice with the imports etc etc take the time needed to really work with the kid. Playing against better players lifts your game. The 3 boys from the BNL days want to know how they improved, gametime and a guys like Doug Smail working with them. Amazing what coaching does eh.
