So Then Panthers Fan's the New Season is Fast Approaching!!

So what has been going on in the world of the Panda's and the Panthers, well to be honest I'm not sure what the other Panda's have been up to!! I'll let them fill you in on what they've been doing but I've been away playing lots and lots of cricket and drinking stupid amounts of beer!!
(Now there's a surprise!!)

So What's been happening in the Panther world. Well it's been all change on the coaching front with Mr Blaisdail's contract not being renewed as it was felt a fresh approach was needed so up steps retiring GB international Mike Ellis. Hopefully he will give us the fresh ideas we need to bring home some silverware this year!!

Also last years captain Calle "The Moose" Carlsson is returning but as assistant coach to Mr Ellis as I will call him for now!! Both Mr Ellis and Calle are registered as played so if we have a short bench they will play!!

Over the next few weeks I will go through who we've signed for this coming season, starting with the goalies, followed by the defencemen and finally the forwards!! I'll not tell you who other teams have signed as let's be honest:
1) We don't really care!!!
and
2) I can't be bothered!!!

So there we are the build up has begun and I look forward to the new season!! One thing I did forget to tell you though is that Panthers will once again be representing GB in the
Continental Cup (Hockey's Equivalent to the European Cup!!)
So the Panda's will be off to France following the teams up's and downs!! Hopefully we should be able to keep you pretty up to date on things over there!!

So to finish off here's a few quick pics of the Coach and his assistant!!

New Head Coach Mike Ellis

New Assistant Coach Calle Carlsson


So that concludes it all for now!! Keep popping back for the Profile and opinions on the new signings and re-signings!!

Keep the faith!! Keep it load!!
