Not long till end of the season Fair to say we are not happy with being a 10th placed team Who would we like to see returning for next season?
I would say all the Brits Peacock has been a good addition to our team Imports Sean Owen guy can't be faulted has won us games by his outstanding performances
Forwards McNicholas top points A fit Chris Lawrence a veteran but every team needs these guys big body and goes to dirty areas
Defence Blumenshine has shown great progress this season
Who else would you have back

I think there is a few decent players to build a core around. I’d keep all the brits. Import wise we need a big shake up. I’d go for -
Owen
Blumenshein Emmerdahl
Mcnicholas Chase Stadnyk

I’d go for Owen and McNicholas imports wise and most importantly, a new coach that not being Hutchy. Controversially I don’t think the local Brits, especially Cochrane have the required physical size for the eihl, McKenzie isn’t good enough any longer so I’d say only Peacock. We also need a top quality second goalie, the days of getting by on one goalie are gone, we’ve rode out luck this season, so Little wouldn’t be back. Big changes,big investment thus big sponsorship needed to make us competitive again.

I think we’ve got to the point where a change of coaching staff should be the bigger discussion, keeping these 2 will lead to another dismal season next year unfortunately, and 99% of fans realise and accept this.

Brits - ok, keep them. And Issacs is essentially a brit, so fine.
As for the rest? rotten, dump them all and start again. Owen is a fine goalie, but we always do well recruiting netminders. The team has shown its character, and we have seen glimpses of good play from some of them, but the attitudes have stunk all year. So bin them all and start again.

Going by Todd’s interview for Stars TV he’s still going to be involved next season. Made comments regarding them having a lot of work to do in the post season.

Thought the same thing when he said “we have a lot of work to do in the summer”. Did sound like he intends to stay on. Yeh could still be with him as GM. The interview was the most frank i've seen him. Got his dig in about only having 6 weeks to recruit. I know people want change but the coaches have been done over this year a bit by the owners.

It would be very uninspiring by the owners to have either of the existing coaches back, they’ve had more than enough seasons to prove themselves but have failed on various aspects year after year. Their track record and putting on entertaining hockey is appalling

New to the community of Fife, and love the game of ice hockey. Was wondering if someone could fill me in on the Flyers? Based on some of the previous comments its safe to say there are some unhappy fans. Honesty is much appreciated! Cheers

My assessment for who comes back would be: GK Owen New genuine back up
D New 1st line import D x 2 Blumenschein, Quality brit Emmerdahl, Isaacs Cochrane
F New 1st Line Imports x 3 McNicholas, Stadnyk, Magee Benson, Lawrence, Peacock Jamieson
Put McKenzie, Spence, Little on 2 ways, this will bring level of Kestrels up

Their track record and putting on entertaining hockey is appalling I actually wouldn't have an issue with Hutchy coming back but would like to see in that case a quality player we would not normally attract as player asst for some new ideas and player contacts. Hutchy was a gritty player, and for me we need a couple of these next season, bit of size at the back and happy with Lawrence up front and another Danny Stewart Jordan Fulton type, a team with a bit more personality would see a 2k average crowd in no time.
