So Erkamps completes the defence.
Possible pairings for next season:
Cormier/Erkamps
Roe/Diffley
Aarnio/Steele
Fox in his interview suggested Erkamps with either Diffley or Cormier. I would guess the more offensive minded Cormier.
I've no particular reason, but I could see Aarnio with Steele.

Definitely feels like the obvious D pairings on paper. Overall really can't complain, obviously time will tell.Doom wrote: ↑Sat Jul 11, 2026 6:20 amSo Erkamps completes the defence.

Now just need those 2 top 6 centres and the extra import. Got those right and overall will look good.

Agreed......if we get the centres right, we're looking good.ginger wrote: ↑Sat Jul 11, 2026 8:11 amDefinitely feels like the obvious D pairings on paper. Overall really can't complain, obviously time will tell.Doom wrote: ↑Sat Jul 11, 2026 6:20 amSo Erkamps completes the defence.

Belfast look stacked in the forwards, with 4 forwards looking like they're capable of 20+ goals.
For us there is only Balmas I'd be confident of getting that figure. Juusola is capable, but his return of only 16 last season makes me think it's unlikely.
Get at least one high scoring centre and I'll feel more confident.
Defence looks fine and the depth in the forwards looks good. An all British 4th line of Whistle/Dowd/IBN would arguably be the best in the league, if Fox decided to go that route.
As noted before, I'm nervous about the netminding, but obviously Fox thinks he can make it work.
