Following on from yesterday’s roster update, we want to confirm that we remain committed to improving and strengthening the team on the ice. We know that some of you have concerns regarding the release of our 4 players from Kazakhstan. Whilst being an exciting and invaluable addition to our team over the summer, the players found it difficult to settle and adjust to life in Scotland which affected them both on and off the ice. We feel that granting their release was in their best interest as it is vital player wellbeing is front and foremost.

Following an appeal by the club to the Elite League Standards Committee we can confirm that we have been granted permission to strengthen our squad and by doing so we underline our commitment not only to the Elite League but also our commitment to icing a competitive game day roster in line with Elite League standards.

Our remaining players in the dressing room are a unified group and we have conveyed to them that they will be provided with the tools necessary to compete. We remain committed to getting the team on the right track and are actively in the market to bolster our line up.

Whilst we understand this is a frustrating time, we’d also like to thank you, the fans, for your continued support. We ask that you continue to be loud and proud for the guys on the ice and reserve patience as we continue our player search and aim to finish the season strong.

Tom Muir, Jack Wishart
