Nimmo

The departure of David Nimmo was not a surprise. He was an expensive player who we could not afford. He had a slow start in Edinburgh but really came on the last couple weekends. He was a big part of our recent success. He was a true professional and I wish him nothing but the best in Florida.

The economics of the country are affecting us. Sponsorship is harder than ever. The last 3 weekends we have played with almost a full line up. It makes a world of difference, hence, our 4-2-1 record in our last seven. The team is starting to come together but we will have to be at our best this weekend against Belfast and Manchester. They are two of the top teams in the league and we have yet to beat either of them.

Stefishen will most likely be out this weekend with an injury. He is seeing a doctor tomorrow and we should know more later in the week.

I am also considering having a coaches club twice a month that would include a short talk on different topics and a short Q&A session. The first topic I thought would be interesting would be player recruitment and explain to the fans how I do it and how others around the league do it. Following the discussion, we would have a meal at a sponsor restaurant. If you are interested and would like to be involved please email me at doug.christiansen@edinburgh-capitals.com. There will be a fee to attend.

The players have a good feeling about themselves after a string of recent success. We will need you now more than ever as we are down a few bodies.

Thank you to all the fans who are apart of the "street team" and the others who help make us go. We could not do it without you.
