Thanks as ever to panthersnation for running this thread for us.

Usual rules please, just as blackandgold73 has done above can you mark new signing announcements by mentioning panthersnation - do this by typing "@ panthersnation", without the space, or use the Insert User Link button - helps him to spot the signings amongst the chatter via the notifications system. Only confirmed signings please, with a link to the news story, we've got a sub forum for rumours.

Thanks all.

As reported in the Around The Rinks thread, Tom Coolen announced as returning to coach Fife.

The Steelers advanced 13-5 on aggregate, though Flyers fans left with smiles on their faces after Tom Coolen announced his contract extension on the ice to a raucous reception.

Corey Neilson to Clan confirmed

Be interesting to see what happens to Logan. Good move I think for the clan

[Yotes]

Good luck to him and, providing they finish below us, Glasgow. Certainly knows the league. His comeback spell here didn't really work, but he did have someone else's side to coach.

Clan aren't hanging around.

His ‘comeback’ was more trying to salvage a dysfunctional squad than a 2nd stint in his defence. That squad just didn’t work together once it hit the ice.

Drydn Dow signs a two year extension with the Stars

www.dundeestars.com/dow-pens-new-2-year-deal/

There's been more than normal of these two year extension deals being signed these past couple of months. Is there a change to short term culture slowly building in the Elite League?

you might need to translate. Neumann goes to Swiss 2nd division and joins Winterthur.

They could lose everybody and still be fine with whoever they get

Didn't have Ben O'Connor to Dundee on my bingo card!

[rexkramer]

That's a shock and a big signing for the Stars.

It surely is both of those.

Also resigned Dryden Dow on a 2 year deal as well. League wide, he was 3rd among D-men for points and 1st among D-men for goals. That is some quality offense on the blue line for Dundee already.

O'Connor's 7th EIHL team! Basingstoke, Edinburgh, Coventry, Cardiff, Sheffield, Guildford and now Dundee. Surely a record?

Excellent signing Dundee

[shinobi]

Hopefully Panthers announce something soon. Off season is boring.

Kevin Tansey signs a two year extension deal at the Steelers, where he'll gain his MBA set Sheffield Hallam as part of the deal

It looks like the EIHL intends to try and keep track of movements this year too. But it wouldn't be the first off-season they started but didn't finish something.

I've posted a link to the webpage for you for information purposes, and in case it's a useful back-up incase for things there that we miss as a collective and don't notify you of.

Hope this helps

Nevalainen definitely not returning to patrol Steelers blue line next year.

www.sheffieldsteelers.co.uk/niklas-nevalainen-thank-you-for-everything/

I haven't tagged Panthersnation as a departure doesn't affect next year's roster places.

Posted here for information purposes for those that are interested to see how many players Steelers manage to keep after the Grand Slam. We lost a bunch after all
