Fife Flyers would like to announce the signing of forward Kieran Craig.
23 year old left wing Kieran hails from Alexandria, Ontario. Prior to his Major Junior career he played the 2017-18 season with the Hawkesbury Hawks of the Central Canada Hockey League having led their triple A U18 team in scoring the previous season. In his four seasons in the Québec Maritimes Junior Hockey League he started with the Gatineau Olympiques and as the pandemic struck in his second season was their top point scorer. In his senior year he was traded to Blainville-Boisbriand Armada where he was a point per game scorer. In 211 career QMJHL games, Kieran had 138 points and 164 penalty minutes. The 5’11, 190 lbs. forward then moved for the 2022-23 season to the other side of the Ottawa River to study psychology at Carleton University. He logged 49 points (22g, 27a) in 49 games with the Ravens in the Canadian USports, leading them with 27 points (12g, 15a) in 27 games last season before beginning his professional career in the ECHL with Florida picking up a couple of assists against the South Carolina Stingrays in his debut. In total he collected a goal, four assists, 10 PIM and a plus-six rating in eight games with the Everblades before finishing the season with one appearance for the Cincinnati Cyclones. Following a trade he started this season with the Tulas Oilers.
Commenting on the signing, Head Coach Tom Coolen said, ‘Kieran has been an effective forward everywhere he has played. Last season he led CIS club Carleton Ravens in scoring as well as Gatineau Olympics in his QMJHL days. He finished last season with a productive stint with the ECHL ‘s Florida Everblades. We look forward to Kieran contributing to our club’.
Kieran will be joining the club as soon as his paperwork clears. We hope to have him in the lineup for this weekends games.
