So Ok then, now we know that James has departed for far off shores, and before an announcement is made on a replacement, who would fans like to see as a replacement?

someone young, Jonny the Cat would have been ideal if it wan't for his move to St.Reatham where he's getting ice time for the redskins and not just their U19s

I hear that Patrick Roy is coming out of retirement to play in England, perhaps he is heading to Gillingham???

TO be honest I would like to see an under 19 brought in purely to act as back up to Ian, rather than job sharing. I think Ian has justified the #1 position over the last two seasons and we would be able to bring in some young blood for games like Lee Valley and Solent (amongst others).

Wasn't Sam Robinson a goalie or am I confusing him with someone else??

After all, Simon Smith made his first grade debut for the Bears at either 15 or 16....

Sam is good and young, but if he goes to the mos then the 16's have a problem as do the 19's. If we had an under 19, he should play for the 19's as they don't have one and poor Sam has to play for several levels, not that he can't as on Sunday he showed he has what it takes

I agree we should have an Under 19 as back up goalie. Personally i think Ian has been the better goalie over the last 2 years and deserves to be our No.1.

What about Matt Van Der Velden. Where is he these days?

I know who's coming, and he's a very good, experienced, reasonably young netminder!

The way the press release reads I'm not surprised Tanner was having trouble getting a lift over from Quebec twice a week. Wink

It's a real shame Tanner is going. Shame two that we the people he has helped entertain won't get a chance to give him a real good send off.
Qubecs gain is Invictas loss.
Good luck to you James Tanner, Say hello to Don for us all.

Tanner to Streatham via Quebec.
Does this mean we can now have Johnny the Cat, as he would be a brilliant back-up to Ian.

Tanner to Streatham! Laughing

I am perfectly happy with Ian and still expect us to turn them over - home and away.

I hope that when the Redskins visit the ice bowl we all give Tanner a warm welcome and above all put loads past him when Invicta stuff the Redskins
