Thoughts

It has been brought to my attention that many of the fans post on the forum asking questions or making suggestions to the organization. The forum is for fans. I am more than happy to address any fan suggestions. In fact, Military night was an idea a fan had that we thought was long over due. If someone has an idea, or is willing to run an event, please email me. My email is on the website.

One other thing that I would like to address is the Supporters Club. If there is anyway I can help please let me know. Maybe the next meeting I or a couple players could come and do a Q&A with the members. Just an idea.

I know things right now on the ice are not going well. It has been a tough run. I am very excited to add Mark Wires to the line-up.

We know we must improve, and right now we are working to do that. I hope you all stand by us. Most people do not have their lean moments scrutinized by others, but we as professional athletes do. The players are just like everyone else, who have emotions. Right now it is about building confidence and playing with it. You do not turn years of losing around in 2 months. This is a process that takes time.

Our fans are as passionate as any in the league. Your chats, your songs, the flags, you are great! After seeing and hearing you all on the road(I am amazed some of you have a voice to speak with after games).

The MIR is a great place to play when you all are rocking. We fed off that energy against Coventry and we plan on doing it again very soon!

Thanks again for all your support.

Challenge Cup weekend

First of all I would like to thank all of the fans who have extended their support toward the organization, it means a lot. Secondly, I think Ali McRae's effort to put out a videozine is great. I will be a great way for the fans to see what they missed when they are out of town. Or selfishly, for friends and family back in North America to watch a little bit of what is going on over here.

I know there are lots of rumors this week. I wish that I could inform everyone of exactly what we are doing. In this circumstance, I am not able to. There will be a signing announced on Monday. Beyond that, I cannot say much more. I know that is frustrating, but I have no choice.

Personally, I think the fact that we are in a Challenge Cup game this weekend helps our mental state. We have played well there, and a positive result is tangible. Now its a matter of going out and executing.

I hope all of you enjoy the game Sunday(I am not talking about Hearts/Hibs).
