GB squad

[Devo]

Just seen the squad announcement, no Batch,Davies or Duggan.

What’s it on mate.

 

[pjj365]

Given we seem to have games on the Saturday and Sunday this may be no bad thing
Wonder if PR factored this in?

 

[Wannabe2]

So what about Bowns, Waller, Mosey, Ritchie, who do they play for.

Well given that we won't have ice, the devils won't be playing at home that weekend. I would suggest that this is (yet another) "elite" league cock up and they just haven't got around to announcing the rescheduling of fixtures.

That said, I wouldn't put it past the league to be belligerent and not be able to see part it's own interests.

Our Pride Game has been confirmed in amongst the weekend so I'm not expecting games to be moved! We are playing that weekend around the GB Games. GB Thurs 8th/ Devils Pride Game v Cov Fri 9th/ GB Sat 10th/ GB Sun 11th. Devils Away @ Storm Sun 11th is the odd one!

I get that but imagine with 7 Brits missing

Who will coach us in Manchester then on Sunday ?

 

[BostonBart22]

Out of the 3 not picked Ben is a shock to me not in squad, good luck to the other devils in the though.

Franny I reckon.

 

[BostonBart22]

Don't think it's just PR picking squad, keefe and Cory would have a lot of input as well, that's if they are still involved.

 

[E.D.S.]

In my opinion, Davies is the Devils player of the season so far and would be a sure thing for selection.

Gobsmacked Ben is not in the squad...unless he requested not to be selected. He is an excellent defensive forward, a pk specialist.

 

[BostonBart22]

Not sure how old Ben and josh are , duggan obviously younger but didn't expect him to be selected , but GB set up maybe looking obviously of and hoping to be in the 2026 olympics in mind , but how old is Ritchie, be surprised if he will have the legs in 2026 and others in the squad

 

[Wannabe2]

Josh is 33, and Ben is also 33.

 

[Wannabe2]

Manchester 1 player less, Coventry 2 players less, Cardiff 4 players less, Our weekend fixture during GB games.

 

[kettdevil1]

I presume we will call up Bayley Harewood if we can but even so…. Not ideal

Manchester 1 player less, Coventry 2 players less, Cardiff 4 players less, Our weekend fixture during GB games.

I can't believe there are EIHL games the same weekend, let alone the same venue.
Bonkers.

Giants and Steelers must be equally affected?
