I might be totally wrong here but I just have a feeling we won't see Paredes. Looking at the guys who had totally lost it, Carl Neill & Henbrant. As I said could be totally wrong and I hope I am. Hope everyone is feeling okay. Parades is quoted in the Memorial Game article. Sounds like he'll be behind the bench on the 18th to me: Head Coach, Jonathan Paredes, said: "Adam was an outstanding person and a remarkable hockey player. The impact he made on and off-the-ice in his short time he was here was remarkable. "This is a special group of players and they will miss Adam hugely and they will never forget him. "The team's thoughts remain with Adam's partner Ryan, the family and friends at this difficult time." That’s brilliant news and glad the hunch was wrong, just thought we’d heard nothing about him or from him.

The fundraising efforts of lots of teams from various UK leagues are starting to be seen in the Memorial Fund: from hundreds of pounds to thousands of pounds, with one recent donations being over £5000 raised from the fans of one EIHL club last weekend, with more donations to come I'm sure. Makes you proud to be part of this hockey community at such a tough time. The fundraising as you say is quite incredible, £5000 from Cardiff fans and £2000 from Fife and other amounts from various clubs around the whole UK. We are still going to Scotland this weekend on the travel club it will do us all good to be together and to be able to talk and raise a glass to our No.47. Dundee have moved our tickets so we can attend Sunday night against the Clan and it will give us a chance to say Thank you to our wider hockey family for their love and support.

Don't think this particular team will go back to Sheffield this season. The game on the 25th will not happen.

Great words from OP and KM. I wonder if Paredes will be back, very strange he's not there & I hear he's taken this very badly. This has changed soo many people's lives. Devastating

Heard it was Sunday when we were at the arena Saturday. Wondered if some of the players would attend or if it was going to be private for the family? There was a livestream of the funeral for those friends, family and teammates who weren't in attendance. I'm sure they said the funeral yesterday was a private family affair, the celebration of life is tonight at 9.30pm and is going to be streamed for all to watch. Link is on the OS Saw Otto on Saturday night with what could have been his mother? Parades has apparently gone home and wasn't here for the memorial. I wouldn't be surprised at all if some of them go home for a while, Rick's interview shows just how much they are suffering the poor guy could barely hold it together. Thoughts aswell to all the staff in the office who despite everything managed to organise along with the arena the most perfect memorial.

It will be a few weeks yet, I wont mention names as don't want to cause any problems but almost certain they wont go to Scotland and could be a couple of weeks after that, I think we will have a better idea next week. I can also see us pulling out the cup as the longer things are left the available dates to play are limited. They've all got to decided together what is the best way forward for themselves and then the healing process will be begin.

I see posts from earlier and I just thought I would post this, I am not the biggest fan of NB in any way shape or form but please be assured he is as devastated as the rest of us. He has gone above & beyond to try and support everyone behind the scenes and there is lots to sort out, and yes I see where you are all coming from in the fact he hasn't shown his face but we have to accept that different people grieve in different ways and just like Jonathan who also didn't come out on Sunday they are devastated. I think at some point he will say something to all of us but at this moment in time we just all need to support each other as best we can. Thanks xx

Could someone tell me how to upload the photos? Unless one of you could pick up the photo of the beautiful floral tribute delivered to the arena from Fife Flyers Fans. Its on the Elite ice hockey league fan forum account and posted by Gillian (Admin) Thank you Fife.
MOD: Added twitter link with picture included

The players and staff have just come out on to Bolero Sq many of them crying, a lovely speech by Kevin Moore, they all look totally devastated. Plenty of Steelers here paying their respects and Cardiff & Coventry fans have made the trip. Thank you to them all.

I'm not sure who at the club would do a press release of this magnitude. Chris is media officer but unfortunately is away in the USA at his nephews funeral which was also at the same time as the accident so he wouldn't have heard anything.

Was going to buy the webcast but when I saw they are charging £6 more than when they play Manchester or the other Scottish teams I decided against it. On a side note I watch Loupowell predict the score every week and he generally doesn’t have Panthers winning many, lol. So today is a worry as he has Panthers winning this one which means we will probably lose..

God knows where our defence is, left Rok out to dry big time, if we're not careful we're gonna lose this.

All to play for in the 3rd, I think we've been reasonably good to say Clan haven't played in a week, let's see how deep we can dig now going into the 3rd 1 min left on the pp for the clan.

Pacha doesn’t like the 3 in 3 which’s a shame for the fans but understandable for the players, I think we lost more in Fife on the 3rd game than we won. However looking at the fixtures this season some of the travel plans are questionable. Think we’ve also got a mid week up in Scotland and also the weekend before the double header in November.

The attendance was poor and if you think about it that was a league game so you can roughly gauge how many season tickets are there and compared to previous years we must have lost hundreds. I would even question the attendance I would have said just around the 4000 mark, and I’ve never seen so few Cardiff fans either.
