The BNL title winning season, a Tuesday night game against the Dundee "Texol" Stars, I was up the back at the boards in Section E, 15 years old and remember Dundee being 4-1 up after the first period, the game swung one way and then the other, and Steven King lifted the roof of the 2800+ in the FIA scoring an OT winner with 10 seconds to go! Our wee singing section had rather sore throats the next home game

99 play off final in Hull against Slogh Jets, won it on penalty shots. 1st period probably the best I've ever seen the Flyers play given that on the day they were the under dogs...

Bnl/Elite crossover went we beat the Belfast Giants 6-5 karry Biette overtime winner that was real special :-D this x1000. either that or the last home game of the bnl era. game 2 of the playoff semis i think vs guildford. got beat but spadafora going crazy with seconds to go then the whole icerink going mental, not todays mental where fans chant sit down shut up, at the guildford team behind the goals. remember it was just the nets. how it didnt spill over into carnage is beyond me. i can honestly say I've never seen the rink like this before. great times! I was gutted - My son was mascot for that game and I missed it as I had a sickness bug that hit me really hard that day. All the rest of the family were at the game & I missed it. Got a DVD of it, but it's not the same. I also rememner a game against Hull when we were 4 goals down going intio the 3rd & pulled it back to win with a last minute coast to coast from Karry Biette. Couldn't make up some of these stories.

Our wee singing section had rather sore throats the next home game I remember that game well. It was the only game I almost walked out of. Half way through 2nd Period I had had enough. I thought I'll give it 5 mins into 3rd and if we don't get the finger out I'm gone. I'm so glad I stayed. That 3rd period was the best I've seen us play and then to win in OT was just phenomenal

What about the build up to the Flyers v Racers games,Mike Rowe put Kelland through the Doors that the Zamboni comes through at Freezerland. Following Flyers visit they hung a dummy in a no 12 shirt from one of the crows nests at the end of the first. Racers were fined for that prank but good banter. Good crowds at those games.

No promises that this is accurate, but off the top of my head the 1984/85 squad was:
2. Goodsir 3. Plumb 4. Drummond 5. Fyffe 6. Abel 7. Pennycook 8. D. Latto 9. Stoyanovich 10 ? 11. McLelland 12 ? 14. Linton 15. Cottrell 16. G. Latto 17. Kirk 18. ? 19. Brown 20 Donald (NM) 21. Peat 29. Dickson (NM)
Both Deano and B. Haig played in the massacre of Southampton Vikings during that season but I don't think they went to Wembley.
Isn't is amazing that I can remember more about the the Flyers team from when I was 11 than I can remember about more recent ones? But it was a very special year...

According to the Ice Hockey Annual for that year, Gary Fyfe and Chic Cottrell didn't play but Gary McEwan, Gary Smith and Bean all did. I thought Chic had played. Don't think Deano and Bobby Haig played against Southampton. Think they came into the team the following season. Was at Wembley and the Southampton game but my memory is fading a bit. Would have to search the attic for the programmes to be certain.

Chic Cottrell scored one of the goals in the final that year, still have it on video!

It was the other way round, Mike Rowe was put through the doors in the plexi right beside where I was sitting, cant remember who hit him but it was a full blooded ferocious check.

Pretty sure it was Mike Ware, and was on an icing call that Rowe got to but Ware followed through to send a message to Rowe who had axed his stick right over Kellends napper on Racers previous visit to kirkcaldy, aaaah good times when hockey was entertaining.
