Retained list

[chastenor]

Only Barnes and Lowton not retained. I was expecting more departures among senior players. What does this mean for incomings?

I'm not too surprised, we've just blown the Championship away and the wage bill is well under control, there's no need for a clear out, and there will be wheeling and dealing in the transfer market with a few of the retained, they won't all be here next season.

I'm sure we will retain WW.

That's what mothers say to their naughty children to make them behave.

Can't believe we are going to retain JRand JC.

They are under contract and we cannot just cancel on a whim and a prayer. See post #2.

I love Ice Hockey, Oleg Sinkov was the best I ever saw, he was like Jimmy Mac on ice, did things you would have thought impossible.

They are very big on ice hockey here in Hastings. Enthusiasts put their kids on the ice when they can barely walk. By the time they are 5yr they can skate like magic. Check your ancestry Sinkov you and Oleg maybe connected in some remote way. It must be the Scandinavian influence here because 150miles south in Iowa (mainly Scottish/ German) ice hockey is practically non-existent whereas in MN it's a school, college, university sport for both males and females.
