Good luck Norts, wasnt convinced at the start but improved and definitely got the experience he needed. Would love to see Macca back or someone like Swindlehurst from PigHill, Though I still think we've got someone at Thunder who could step up.....

Shame to see any player go, however am a) not surprised he's gone back to the panthers and b) don't think he will be missed at lightning either. I really do think the injury earlier in the season knocked his confidence and as a result we didn't see the player he could be. Thanks for all your effort and best of luck in Nottingham next year.

Good luck to him and as I said on THF he's still young and still developing, but I think he will be out of his depth in the Elite league if he's playing as a regular D-man. I think he's too lightweight and makes too many mistakes that will be pounced upon at that level.

He was also on my list of 4 or 5 players I thought wouldn't return, so we'll see how accurate I am with the others

Having seen a number of Thunder games last season I can not think of any D man who could step up to MKL.

Think we will have to bring in from outside, Tom was a good player though I to think he will struggle to get ice in the Elite as he sometimes fell short in EPL.
We did know that he was on loan so no suprise he went back and I do not think Tikki will be back and I can think of only 1 other player I do not think will be back for next season.

All because the silly import rule, means he don't get enough ice time, more imports hurt out younger Brits, when will we learn,?
