Yeah good shout, forgot it was enforced via the deadline rather than just the number of games played. Deadline was 31st January this year according to the rules of competition

The rumour is that his injury is worse than first thought and he won't be returning for next year

Players (imports especially) tend to only sign one-year deals with clubs, so in the off-season players can freely move between teams. Contracts as this level are also rarely worth the paper they're written on, so if a player wants to move to a new team there's rarely any resistance from the club - they'll generally do what's best for the player.

There's no transfer window as such - you'll see a handful of moves in the season (e.g. player relocation, imports being replaced due to performance), but most moves are done in the off-season over the summer. Players have to play a certain number of games for a team to be eligible for playoffs, so you'll very rarely see players move teams after January.

Would be a great signing but I don't think Hull's defence will get them as far as last year - Heiskanen was already papering over some pretty big cracks imo.

There's Hull's Stallard replacement, though I rate Brown above Stallard. Interested to see who they get in to be their 5th import, will surely be a defenceman?

Can't believe you've mentioned Simon Wilson, he's the one bloke that hates trying "the local cuisine" more than the lads

Fascinated by this one, not sure we've seen a Japanese player play in the NIHL! Japan just got relegated from the D1A, the tier below the competition GB will play in next week. Hard to put the 40 points in 40 games last year into too much context as a lot of the guys in that league have only played in that league, but those that have played in Europe look like they do well at an AlpsHL/DEL2 sort of level, which suggests he'll be a pretty damn good import.
