Hello all, first time poster but really felt the urge to post after hearing the sad news about Corey's father.
I think this warrants its own thread. I just wanted to say that I am so thankful to Corey for being on the bench with the team last night against Zurich. To be on the bench after what has happened is more than anyone could ever ask for or expect and just demonstrates his love for the club. I was so proud watching the team put in such a great hardworking performance in the knockout stages of the CHL against a top European side in their own barn, and we didn't look out of place. This while being short of one of our best imports (in my opinion) shows how far we have come as a club and this is due to all the hard work that Corey has put in over the years.
It will be a huge miss to not have him here for the weekends games, but he will be where he needs to be, with his family. I just wanted to say thank you Corey for being there in the biggest moment of the clubs history, one that you engineered and I'm proud to see your shirt hanging from the rafters at every home game.
Also my thoughts go out to Mark Derlago too, hope the situation improves with his dad and its not the last time we see him in a Panthers jersey. While hes not putting the puck in the net as much as I'm sure he would like he is a massive part of our team and we are a lot weaker without him on the ice.

People who have met Corey will concur what a gentleman he is - all the best to him and family at this time. It depends upon when the funeral is and how he lines up the situation - at this time there are never easy decisions.

I agree with the first post completely, Corey loves the Nottingham Panthers as much as us fans, we owe a hell of a lot to him even if we do forget it at times.
My condolences go out to you at this difficult time Corey.

there really is no words of comfort right now, its a moment i am dreading myself, and no matter what the fans views are of him as a coach as a man who has just lost someone very important to him he really should be in fans thoughts right now and i for one hope that he gets all the support he needs of those around him who care for him.

Corey Neilson is Mr Nottingham Panthers. The fact he was leading from the front by being in Zurich during a time of personal tragedy is remarkable but not surprising.
There are fans that believe he’s a Panthers legend and there are fans who are wrong.

For Corey to coach in Zurich on Tuesday with this awful news for him and his family hanging over him shows an incredible strength of character. I cannot begin to inmagine what he must be going through and can only pass on my deepest condolences.
