Promising GB forward Mason Alderson returns for second season at Fife Flyers
Fife Flyers have confirmed the return of British forward Mason Alderson - and he joins a small group of players with EIHL experience in a completely new look roster.
London born forward Mason Alderson originally joined Flyers on the back of a two-year, two-way deal with Solway Sharks in the NIHL and Belfast Giants in the EIHL. He brought strength and skill to the front line and forged a fine partnership with GB line mate Logan Neilson who has moved on to play in France this season.
The hard-working forward made an immediate impact in his debut season before agreeing a two-way deal with Solway Sharks in the NIHL.
Alderson iced in 46 games across league and Challenge Cup action during the 2025/26 season, while earning a reputation as a hard-working, willing member of the roster with strong potential for development within the club.
Alderson becomes one of only a handful of players in coach Tim Wallace’s roster with direct Elite League experience - and one of the few returnees from the 2024-25 campaign.
He is the 12th forward unveiled by the coach, with Garet Hunt the sole familiar face among them.
Wallace said: “Mason is a player I’ve followed closely over the years. He’s big, strong, and skates well for a player of his size.
“I’m looking forward to working with him and helping him take his game to the next level. I believe he can be a very important player for us this season.”
Alderson’s signing comes on the cusp of the new season.
Wallace and his team are expected to arrive in town from mid August onwards ahead of a training camp and four exhibition games.
Flyers take on Ukranian outfit, Kyiv Capitals to Fife Ice Arena on Friday, August 28, followed by Hull Seahawks on the 29th.
On Saturday, September 5 they play SNL outfit, Kirkcaldy Kestrels, wrapping their preparations at home to Dundee Stars the following night.
