Hopefully folk see why little doesn't get any ice time. Any goalie from juniors would be better Doesn't help when 1 game in 6 years is your lot.

Before he went to flyers Little was a decent keeper at Kestrels, certainly I would say probably better than Ben Keddie Kestrels current number 1 who also trains with Flyers. I have said in here numerous times, all the young boys and those on fringes should be in 2 ways with Kestrels, this would bring level if Kestrels up which is much needed, and thus helps the next generation coming through. Page being at Solway is the right idea, but doesn't help flyers get the best from kihc long term.

I 100% agree with that lost post. I've been to the kestrels a few times this season and honestly there is no-one there at the standard ready to come up. Look at page for example he has had to go on a two way with solway to get some ice time to develop. I also get the flyers should be trying to get the best out of young British players but the problem is its not a development league and there is far to big a jump from snl to elite

But flyers are actively adding to the problem of no talent coming through by not having a footprint with kihc. Every team should be training with same drills as flyers, and flyers should be interested in players who look capable. There's a list of boys who are no better or worse than what they sign more or less at snl and NIHL teams, Fifers that is, that if the Flyers took an interest would be at Kestrels just like Dundee have and reep the rewards. More short sightedness from day 1 Elite onwards.

By their own standard since these boys left flyers, they would never have seen anything more than a training session - Muir, Wands, Wilson, Scoone, Gunn. These boys and others who they had to persevere with and some of whom improved in to decent players. None had the actual talent that a Scott Jamieson has for example, but no actual effort has went in to blooding the boys with talent for a long time now, giving Fife the worst reputation in the league for this. I understand none will be the next Liam Kirk, but likes of Inglis at Dundee is now a really steady player, he was no better than all the Fife boys he played with at junior level and snl.

Aye but watching some of the game this was a friendly with no hitting or real intensity, so getting beat or winning not really the point. Good to see the Brits especially Andy Little getting time, Andy Def grew in to the game. Now that's passed with no injuries, I suppose the positives will be a good workout better than training, in prep for Wednesday, will it make any difference to the outcome? Very hard to say Sheffield are very strong.

I take it the squad size rulings are no longer in place, I think Steelers now have 4 spare imports. If the league was serious about being competitive they would bring in reasonable wage cap, and stop teams stock piling imports that the majority of the league can't.

We're gonna get pumped they are gonna come at us with everything from the start This is where the coaches should earn their cash. We cannot afford to go down there and try to outskill Steelers. We need to keep it tight and not open up too much especially in the early stages. I fear that they do not look capable of changing the way we play to adapt to the opponent.
