The league season gets underway on Saturday September 10 when Nottingham Panthers visit Kirkcaldy.

Christmas could be a key time in the challenge for conference honours - 14 of the 15 games scheduled that month are against their Gardiner rivals.

Todd Dutiaume, head coach, said: “As always our staff did a tremendous job putting this years fixtures together.

“We have a few weeks at the beginning to get the guys in and settled. We have a good balanced schedule and the travel is well spread out.”

Flyers finish their season with a home-away double bill with Dundee Stars on March 25-26.
