That guy IMO did not get the recognition he deserved last season, always in the background and kept himself out of the limelight, but when he came in he steadied the ship and went on a winning streak. We definately need some chants for him next season please.
Brilliant signing. Welcome home Rick.

This IS the most important signing of the off season - you can find hundreds of players out there who can do certain roles but its alot harder to find an assistant who you can trust and bounce ideas off in order to get the best results. Well done!

not sure about the underrated bit he always get respect from our fans, we all know or should know how important he is to the Panthers, i know Corey and the GM do. Maybe we need a chant for him but the respect is there!

This is a massive signing, the relationship he has built with Corey and the players is key.
We talk about Panthers potentially dominating in next few seasons and a settled management team is as important if not more so than any players we sign.

i must admit that i was a little worried we wouldnt re-sign Rick as Corey would be behind the bench all next season so i am very hapy with this.
Also thought he may be a target for other teams as head coach.

You already signed your most important person in Corey Neilson.

Fantastic, great assistant coach and key part of the dynasty. Agreed. I think Panthers are definitely laying down a marker with regards their intentions for next season by re-signing a person as assistant who, arguably, could walk into the head coach position of many EIHL teams. Having such stability in the coaching team will no doubt assist with re-signing players and also signing new ones. |

Fantastic news. I too thought he would be a target for Braehead or possibly Belfast. Strachs needs a chant!

One of the biggest re-signings you will make this year IMO.
Great news for you.

Think he's the biggest reason why you won the league I thought it was because we got more points than any one else |

Think he's the biggest reason why you won the league No, but he's one half of the biggest reason. Corey's the headline guy, but it's the team of Nelson & Strachan that coached the Panthers to victory. I think it would be pointless to try to divide up the credit between the two. The overriding reason we won the treble is one word - "team". The coaches worked as a team and coached the players as a team... so much more than we've seen before. A true team is one where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. That's what we've had this last season - and the renewal of this coaching team has just greatly increased the chance of a repeat next season. |
