Dan Cemen joins Flyers

Fife Flyers have today announced the signing of former Dundee CCS Stars’ player/coach, Dan Ceman who will make his debut in the league game against Coventry Blaze at Fife Ice Arena this evening. Dan left the Taysiders last week and after considering several offers from both this country and abroad, decided to join the Kirkcaldy outfit.

A delighted Coach, Todd Dutiaume said, ‘As soon as Dan was released by Stars he was an obvious target for me. I know the type of player he is and he is an easy fit for us.    He is a typical guy we target as a player for this organisation, he is a hard worker, a natural goal scorer and with the addition of him and the new defenceman we have signed and waiting on a work permit for, that takes us to nine imports and hopefully a very competitive hockey club.   We keep our players healthy then things will be looking up for Flyers in the wins column.’

Dan added, ‘Todd contacted me as soon as the news of my release from Stars was known and built up a pretty awesome picture of the club and the future.   I remember being here with Stars and how the building was noisy and the passion of the fans and I am looking forward to playing for them and my team-mates. Although I have played pro hockey for a long time I will admit to having a few nerves about tonight’s game but I’ll be pumped up for it. I’m looking forward to helping the team reach a play-off spot, that is our goal.’

As well as being coach at Dundee, Ceman was also top goal scorer for them this season and Fife fans will be hoping he continues to find the net in the blue and gold.   Face-off tonight is at 7.30 pm
