I have to say, i'm looking forward to seeing the new guys in action. Brilliant to see Benedict back! I'm looking forward to seeing how Hemingway and Gleed get on. Both have experience in a much higher league than the EIHL, Hemingway seems to have skill on the puck and Gleed seems to be able to look after himself and his teammates, however, Doug has said that will not be his role.

After McMorrow not being offered a contract for whatever reason, it will be interesting to see who we get as a hard lad.

Kovalchuk still hasn't been signed anywhere. Doug.......

i think garside will be a big player for you this season, the caps had a lot of potential last year, just ran out of legs

[giantsfan90]

I think Garside will be like Peacock last season. Becoming part of a much bigger club and will really show what he can do.

[giantsfan90]

So far our team looks something like this:

Benedict - Shields - C. Hemmingway
B. Hemmingway - Prudden - Bayrack
Welch - Garside - Peacock

Mason - Seeley
Gleed - Cook
Walton - Hoffman

Murphy
Craze
