Wonder if giving the new coach more autonomy/involvement in recruitment is part of the hook to attract higher calibre coaching? Also I wonder if giving a new coach dual role eg hockey operations role in addition to head coach allows higher wage than league rules would otherwise allow??
Interpretations of those agreements then very much depend upon the gentlemen (cough) doing the interpretation!
Let’s be honest the EIHL is always a three horse race, finishing 3rd isn’t a great achievement unless you’re the Nottingham Panthers!
