@EliteOpinionUK I wasn’t having a dig :)

For those of you who don’t know Adam Walker (the other assistant coach mentioned with the Steven Birnstill signing) Here’s a recap on him . . . Adam Walker is a 39 year old British player who started his career at Fife flyers in the BNL era. He played at fife for four seasons, Guildford one season, one game at Cardiff devils, five total at Manchester Storm (then known as phoenix), 3 years at Braehead and 4 years at the Paisley Pirates alongside a role as Assistant coach. Last year he was our Video Coach throughout the season. He’s also been on the bench on a few rare occasions prior to last year. His wife, Joanna is one of the Glasgow Clan team medics. His brother is Ben walker, a current SNL defender with Paisley Pirates. Stats below 👇

@amyhelendunn And nobody seems to have clocked that Walks and Steve Birnstill played on the same Clan team in 12-13

Crazy how many people are asking the same thing 😂

@EliteOpinionUK @LisaBennett1986 And you might even know who the photographer was ;) The original photo is absolutely not AI. I can't say if AI was used in the graphic, but I doubt it. Oh, and Walks was joint head coach at the Pirates, with Ian Turley, not Ass. Coach :)

@LisaBennett1986 Na; I like it. There was very few to choose from and this was one as a player: We will agree to disagree 👍

We would like to thank @WildHaggisPro for sponsoring our 'Effort and Attitude' Award, and Abbey Services for sponsoring both the 'MVP' award and the 'Difference Maker' Award. Photos - Al Goold

@RayMonaghan86 We all went down back then as well. Will be in Dundee next weekend cheering on the @PaisleyPirates. Still feels weird saying that 😂

I was there in Nottingham when we made it back in 2014. It was the only time in my puff I sang my voice out hoarse to the point I could barely speak by Sunday afternoon. Gutted not being there in person to see them again, but to those that are making trip, have an absolute blast!

Not a hockey player in sight at Castle Semple today (I was out testing something)
