Fife Flyers have made another signing ahead of the new season with forward Chad Smith returning.

It will be the 20-year-old’s third season at the club after he joined back in 2017/18.

Last campaign he played 54 games and was part of Great Britain’s Under 20 team at the World Junior Championships where he scored three goals and produced two assists in five apperances.

The Kirkcaldy native said: “I’m really excited to be back for another season with the Flyers.

“It felt like the right decision for me and too good an opportunity to pass up.”

The 20-year-old went on to say: “I’ve felt myself progress a lot over the past few years and hopefully that will continue.

“Fife is home for me, so to be able to play for the club I grew up watching, is amazing.

“Hopefully we can have another great year and get some silverware this season.”

Head Coach Todd Dutiaume added: “I’m pleased that Chad has made the decision to stay on with us and to further his development.

“He’s a great local talent who will be a big asset to the club.

“The next step is to get him into games with some real time on the ice.

I discussed at length with him… that we would provide the support of our strength and conditioning coach, and I look forward to seeing Smitty come into camp in top form, ready to go."
