Its driving me INSANE!

I can't take it anymore! The summer has run on for far too long! I NEED my hockey back!

It's not that I'm some desparate hockey obsessed freak.... oh, wait, thats exactly what it is. As I write this it is now September. Thats hockey time, not sat on my arse at home thinking about hockey time. And it's not even as if I have nothing else to do with myself, it's just I miss my hockey, quite possibly more so than is healthy, but....

Anyways, lets try and be vaguely sensible here. 2 more bodies added to the sqaud, and were are a step closer to being on the ice. Juraj Faith looks like he could be another of THs genius pick-ups, and should in all likelihood join the "100+" club (I.E. scores 100+ points for us). And it's nice to see Adam Summerfield replaced with a call up from the Metros in the shape of Jorge El-Hage. Yes, he's young, but he has to develop his game, and this is the next logical step for him.

And it was also a pleasent surprise to find that we have set a new record for Season Ticket sales, with over 440 being sold by the club. I guess those who thought that moving to the EPIHL would kill the club have now been proven somewhat wrong. ST sales are up, match night attendance is up, things are looking up (I'm sure winning some silverware helped). I guess the target for this season will be to raise attendances further (our average is just under 1,100, apparently, so 1,200 is a reasonable target), and to win some more trophies (I'm not greedy, retaining the League will do for starters).

And I would like to confirm 2 things:

1: I will be continuing in my role as Fan Liason for the coming season, so stop bothering Tambo, and come bug me instead!
2: I have stepped down from the board of the Supporters Club. Nothing sinister, it's just i have a wedding to plan, and something had to give, and that was it.

See you all at the Dome in a fortnight!
