Martin Cingel, part of the coaching staff at Murrayfield Racers

Two more players have committed to Murrayfield Racers squad, both of them travelling considerable distances to be part of the new ice hockey era.

Kirkcaldy-born defenceman Scott Geddes joins after playing for Dundee Tigers in recent seasons and forward Daniel Abercrombie has been recruited from Solway Sharks.

Both men have played under-age international hockey for Scotland and are keen to develop their skills under the coaching of Tony Hand and his coaching team which also includes Martin Cingel and Jock Hay.

Hand, Racers director of hockey, said: “Scott and Daniel both have lots of potential and are desperate to be part of the new Murrayfield Racers set-up.

“They are fully-committed to us and willing to travel to take part in training and games.

“We are delighted that they have come on board, but we are also pleased that so many of the locally-based players are keen to join us in this exciting project.”
