Theres also a rumour about Troy "wanting" to play at Sheffield next year. Players come then mostly go. Kirkcaldy is probably the least attractive town to play in in the EIHL.

I’ll start a rumour here.
I reckon Danny is leaving blaze end of the season, and will move up to take on the coaches role at fife next season.

Might be true, might not but I'm fairly certain almost every player in the league wants to play for Sheffield right now.

I think that quite a few of the forwards will be pretty high on other teams radars unfortunately

Yeh Laj, Osterberg, Chiodo, Johan and Humitz have all done well. We need to sort our coaching position ASAP if we have any chance of keeping a core of this team. Can’t wait until June.

Question is why would Danny leave Blaze? Blaze arguably a bigger club Danny has done well there since moving on Why would he come to a club with lower budget and no budget for Elite Brits I would prefer to see Tom Coolen getting at least another two seasons he has better contacts Danny was our assistant/ associate coach for a number of seasons , but no real progress He knows the ownership and GM and the Fife way So is this progress for Danny or a backwards step ?

Danny Stewart was a great player for us, Tom Coolen league position aside has been a great coach for us.
We have to give TC another year at least surely?

I would like to keep Tom. But his career shows he is happy to move on regularly, so I am not sure even if we wanted to keep him he would stay.
Danny is not the most popular guy down in Coventry any more, from what I have read online all season. Got similar vibes to how people talked about Todd in his last season in charge here.
Time will tell I suppose. Obviously I have no information and this is indeed just a rumour.

Last year was the outlier, most seasons with Danny in charge they finish 8th (granted the league sizes have changed somewhat) I don’t think he has ever managed to get them down to the playoff finals weekend, or the cup final. Fife has done both in the same period.

Keeping Coolen for a season or two more should be our priority. Can see since Xmas the crowds are up. As pointed out above we need him to want to stay but at his age he might fancy settling for the next couple years and enjoying a project.

Danny for Tom would be a backwards step towards the Todd era. If not Tom, then look for someone with a similar philosophy. That means someone from outside the EIHL.

I'd like to see TC stay. He has built a good team with no experience of the league and unearthed players all of the league would take up front. If players are to move on and only a few stay I would trust him more to have the contacts to build an even better team. The big issue are a 4th line of Brits and a 6th Brit d man.

Greyhound why not six non British trained d men and a decent number nine Brit forward ? He won't employ a fourth line of homegrown players that are ready to go . The new coach for fife flyers next year needs to ice a fourth line of British players and let them make mistakes by giving them game experience (maybe not as a line but mix them in at the start of games with more experienced players) you'd be silly to think that Robert dowd broke into the elite league first line ready The only way to have decent British trained players is to invest in them
