Re: 2014/2015 Rumour Thread of doom!
This may have well been said elsewhere but I heard Quiney isn't coming back, going to play one of the lower leagues and also has a job outside hockey lined up apparently.
Also heard there was some kind of meal or get together last Friday with Pope and Ragan for the team, and only 3-4 players showed up - Faulkner, Kurka, Quiney and someone else.
No-one wanted to spend time with Ragan or Pope it seems.
Final piece I heard (all second hand info so who knows how true), that Faulkner would've come back next year had it not been for how the club treated Blight, who begged to stay before being let go as he has a girlfriend down here. Faulkner wasn't happy and even put in a request for blight to stay that fell on deaf ears.

None the less, he is and will remain a marked man throughout the league.
Casting my mind back, he was a decent player, however as you have said, the refs did and will continue to freak out over what he did or would have done(however innocent he was or legal the event was)

Been told they have a plan in place to step up the Elite not this season coming but the next (so the same time as the London club ?) and are targeting some / one Elitle level players / player now to help them make the transition.
Matt Myers was the target it was suggested they wanted.
No idea if its true but its doing the rounds.

Telford in the EIHL? :lol: I take it you've never been to their rink! It's one of the worst in the EPL let alone EIHL. The capacity of their rink is less than 900 with no way of expanding.
They have an owner with money, yes definitely but that doesn't mean they are going to become the Chelsea or Man City of the hockey world. Guildford have had the richest owner in the UK for years and have never even been close (or dominated the EPL). Telford haven't spent crazy money so far and some of my mates in the set up there have been told not to expect an influx of money or players.
The team that will join the same time as the London team will be Milton Keynes IMO. They are pretty much rebuilding their rink and will have a capacity somewhere in the region of 2500. It will be ready just after the beginning of next season.
