Someone had to go with Melton & Thompson coming in, although he did score a hattrick the other week. They do have far worse forwards, but £££ possibly a factor.

I think Morgan leaving Manchester is purely him wanting out to be honest

Andreas Valdix has left Cardiff and is likely to join another, unnamed, EIHL side shortly.

Cardiff did end up using an official change on him when Brandon McNally returned but Brodie Dupont was out.

He played 12 games with Cardiff with a limited role and had nothing on the board.

Manchester have parted company with Wade MacLeod.

The 34 winger iced 15 times registering just 1 assist after taking 3 years out of the game due to brain tumours.

An unfortunate situation but maybe for the best, last thing he needs is a hit to the head.
