Off Season goings on..or not

Sooo, haven't been on here for ages!!!
Not a lot happening on the signings front at Braehead Clan so far this off season.
Still awaiting news of a new coach after the departure of Bruce Richardson to the Canadian Midget League. Sad to see him go especially as he had signed a contract for Seaon 2. He was, however, always clear that if an opportunity arose, he'd take it. Best of luck Bruce!!
So who will be Richardson's successor? Plenty of rumours but currently no substance. Danny Stewart and Rhett Gordon seem to be the rumour mill's front runners but the offical website says the successful candidate will be revealed this coming week.
Personally, I'd like to see Stewart as coach with Jon Landry as his assistant but we'll see. Whomever it is, he'll have his work cut out to get a full team in place for face off on 10th September v Panthers. (As the away fixtures have STILL not been announced, I assume that's our first match!)
Biggest signing so far for me is Krestanovich. I didn't expect us to keep him until the close season so to snag him for the whole this season is massive. Holding onto Wedderburn and Kyle Bruce was pretty darned good news too ;)
Difficult to say how I feel about the upcoming season as the roster on the official site only has 8 players listed and one of them is Bruce Richardson. (Yeah you read that right) Shame the same urgency shown by the team on ice is not shown in updating the website and sharing information.
Nope I'm not going to rant.........Almost as bad as me updating this blog lol.

Go Clan!!!
