I know this year has had its frustrations. I know with a bit of away form the conference could have been ours. I know with more depth from early things could have been different.
However, to have one game against the team everyone in the conference was shooting for at the start of the season to make the playoffs and potentially get a playoff matchup with that team for a finals place...
We have moved on. We have progressed and I for one can't wait to see how this is taken on next season.
We all have our own thoughts on how the Flyers should be run but without them we wouldn't have top level hockey in Fife and for that, I'm grateful.
We don't always agree but at the end of the day we're all Flyers.

Can't disagree with that.
Could have been better for sure, but certainly better than last season :-)

Agree. Have really enjoyed this year. Some fantastic games at home, however i have to admit last nights games in Edinburgh was actually my favourite game of the season. The smile on the players faces at the end showed how much it meant to them.

i think it's been a great year apart from the away form, we have won the autumn cup, played great at home 2nd in the league in home wins , we have the second best PP in the league, and we can still make playoffs, all that in our second season keep building on that and we could be a top 4 or 5 team in the next 2 yrs

I do think we'll see a split, possibly from this season. The top 3, then the rest. Before, there was always 3 mini leagues, I can see it going to 2.
If we'd found ways to win the last couple of away games, which we should have, despite having a dreadful run away from home, we'd have been on 50 points, and ahead of Cardiff in 5th. That's how tight it is, and I don't see it changing any season soon.
Could be a very exciting era

yeah, agree with all above. improvements in terms of league position will be more difficult to produce as everyone knows the standard is so much higher now, we could have a better team but finish lower in the league. can't expect to march our way to 4th or 5th, though that would be awesome, i expect a season or two will feel a bit disappointing but i do believe we will get there. possibly when the kirkcaldy talent production line is producing guys regularly, hopefully some already on their way

Totally agree with riverrat's OP. There will always be frustrations following the Flyers but too much is made of folk occasionally blowing off a bit of steam about how things are at the club. The fact is these views only come about because the club matters to people.
Could we really ask for much more than what we have at present? Win, lose or draw this Saturday I'll still be delighted with what an enjoyable season we've had. Our second season in the Elite League and we're beating (almost) everyone already! The away form is the next thing to work on but the club had to build a team to play well at home first of all. The commitment from the coaches and Directors to give us a first class team is superb. There were fans saying last season that the club WANTED to fail so that they could prove the Elite league wasn't for us- is there any doubt now that we're a top flight team?

There have been lots of memorable moments this year and I hope that we can bring back the majority of this team next year. The fans spirit has been second none too, following on from the great support last year even despite the multiple gubbings due to not being prepared for the EIHL standard.

Favourite game though has to be last Sunday purely for what it meant. It was high pressure, intense, and everyone (fans included) stood up and were counted!!! Brilliant........just brilliant! Might have to watch those hand signals though!!!  |

Sunday for me was outstanding, really made me feel like it was years back with the support in great voice.
You could see exactly what it meant to the players they were all chuffed to bits.
