Darren., Not Derren!

The Belfast Giants have certainly been the quickest out of the blocks this season with the signings, but other teams are slowly trickling in too. David “Cheeks” Longstaff is back in Newcastle with the Vipers while apparently Ben Campbell and young Jeremy “Jez” Lundin have been on that ever blipping Giants Radar.

Meanwhile the “Playoff Champion” Sheffield Steelers are still polishing their first piece of decent silverware since Darren Brown was still a free man. Seems that their Golf loving forward may not as keen to return as previously thought. Despite his contract option to return and his “out spoken love for the club”, it is alleged Mr Tessier is looking for another chance to fail to impress on the European scene.

And the Panthers? Well it seems they are having half an eye on Carlyle Lewis. Ryan Shmyr allegedly failing to impress their new coach Mr Neilson. But to be honest.. who cares.. they’ll spend lots of money, cry a lot about others doing the same, claim they “should move to the DEL” then not justify any of their crying, wailing and spending by once again being also-rans in the league championship.

The EIHL amuses me.
