Yes I have to say that Floyd looks a cracking player. Bags of skill. Allan looked good too.

That's my point,if they don't even get a chance to train now at 18 by the time they develop physically its too late. Some of these young lads can go on now and do no worse a job than the third line already do but had they been training up since last season come the start of next season flyers would have some real prospects and as I said before the Brits already there would have to push harder to make sure they keep their slot.

Thing is when you think about it... Since the demise of the BNL about 7 years ago, its still the same brits apart from Scoon that are in the team. Where is the developement there? Where is the Fife way??? Theres quite a few good juniors quit or left the club because of this. Its almost unbelievable when you realise that.

The face has got to fit, look at Bowie he is a great player, but didn't tow the "yes man" line. Everyone knows he needs to be cuddled and coached to get the best put him, he's back in SNL i think. He can defo play EIHL level, and for me, i'd defo have Willie Nic in ahead of Tommy, only issue for Willie was keeping fully fit

Bowie is signed to kestrels but has suffered a knee injury this season and your right,his face just didn't fit. Since we're naming names on here Robben Floyd is the player I meant wouldn't disappoint. He's scored some amazing goals this season and I believe could start on Flyers 3rd line THIS Saturday and be as good and probably better than is already there. And while we're at it the two Brits I reckon would get a slot on another eihl team are mcalpine and wands,Horne and Dolan already being established eihl regulars before coming to fife and could move teams easily if they needed to

Skill won't be the only factor on players that progress from KIHC to the Flyers in the EIHL - size and stature will also come in to it.
You can't take a skinny 17/18 year old and drop him in against a team full of hard-hitting North Amercans - they would get destroyed.
For some players, that could be addressed by gym work but for some it will just take time for them to "bulk up" a bit.

Coventry did just that with Ross Venus when they were hampered with injuries and he was 16! www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=85652

His names Robin. And wands, seriously? What you been drinking?

if your good enough why not, don't matter what age or size really Precisely. What about Theo Fleury? Over 1000 games in NHL, over 1000 points in NHL and he's only 5'6", which makes him a wee pest compared to most players in NHL and even in EIHL!
