The double header with the Sheffield Steelers this weekend
will be the 15th and 16th meetings between the two teams
in the history of the Elite League. In the last 3 seasons, Flyers hold a
2-11-0-1 record against the Steelmen. In these games Flyers have scored a total
of 28 goals, the first of these goals was scored by Chris Wands in December
2011. Kris Hogg has scored more goals against the Steelers than any other
Flyers player - scoring 4 in the 2012/13 season including a match-winning
hat-trick in October 2012. Both Bobby Chaumont and Toms Hartmanis have 6 points
against them and if Flyers are to be successful expect Chaumont to add to that
total.
Last weekend saw the start of the new season. Although both
games ended in defeat, a number of positives can be taken from them. Jordan
Fulton scored the first goal of the campaign, following in the footsteps of
Mike Hamilton, Derek Keller and Tim Hartung. With Fulton scoring 26 goals last
season, one has to hope that this is the first of many for our very own number
26.
The visit of Coventry to the Fife Ice Arena last weekend was
the 100th home game in all competitions (league, cup, playoffs and
friendlies) for the Flyers in the Elite League era. So far, the Flyers have a
50-40-0-10 record in these games – a stark contrast to their away form, where
in 91 games they have a 19-67-1-4 record.
