So looking at the roster,
We have a core 13 returning from last season, 7 new players, (3 of which are Bowns, Martin & Jardine), another is Penny who also knows the league, leaving just the 3 players new to the EIHL. Crawford, Thompson & Brittain.
For me that's a positive, players who know what the league is all about. There's teams through out the EIHL who look to be making wholesale changes.
