Sly Quits!
The London Racers are disappointed to announce that net-minder, Sylvain Daigle, has submitted notice to terminate his contract.
In response, Coach Maxwell said, "We've gone out of our way to do everything for Sly, but I guess for some guys you just can't do enough. He promised me in the summer that he was a 'team' guy, and a month ago he reassured of his commitment to the entire season. He must have forgotten that. We've been short players all season, and the guys have battled hard for each other; however giving notice now is not a Christmas present for his team-mates. It also speaks volumes about character and commitment when a full week of that notice period is in fact 'time-off' on holiday."
Racers management, having made a concerted effort to make the player happy were shocked by the news and surprised with his reasons. Daigle said that he wanted to play more games and was unhappy with the calibre of play.
Coach Maxwell went on to say, "Strength of character matters, particularly in the playoffs. We've got that! This is one of the happiest and most together teams I've ever been a part of. Just look at how most of our guys are over-performing because their heart is where it should be. Fans need not worry about where we go from here."
Negotiations with several net-minders are already underway and an announcement on the replacement will be made shortly.
Sylvain Daigle's last game will be on Wednesday, 29 December, against the Basingstoke Bison.
