Ice hockey – Dutiaume up for Elite Cup

Todd Dutiaume, Fife Flyers coach, welcomes the Scottish Elite Cup which is on at Murrayfield this weekend

Fife Flyers coach Todd Dutiaume believes the Scottish Elite Cup can be a staple part of the fixtures calendar in years to come.

The Kirkcaldy men face Dundee Stars in Saturday’s semi-final at Murrayfield in Edinburgh.

The other semi-final features Braehead Clan against Edinburgh Capitals with the action starting at 2pm.

Dutiaume said: “I hope the tournament becomes a staple in the fixtures calendar and it’s a great pre-season opener to get all four sets of fans together.

“We can showcase this league and it also gives a taster of what to expect over the upcoming season.

“It’s also useful to give the guys a chance to hone themselves ahead of the season so it’s one I hope will be successful for everyone involved.”
