At THIS FRIDAY’s home game against the Fife Flyers, we are delighted to confirm that former Ayr Scottish Eagles head coach Jim Lynch will be our guest of honour.
This is to celebrate 20 years since the Scottish Eagles won the Superleague Grand Slam of the league, playoffs, Benson & Hedges Cup and Express Cup.
To commemorate the outstanding achievement, the Clan have invited Jim and his wife along to the game where a pre-game presentation will be made on behalf of the Clan.
Lynch, 64, played for the Fife Flyers, Murrayfield Racers, Solihull Barons and Humberside Seahawks before moving into coaching with Murrayfield, Fife, Dumfries Border Vikings, Ayr Scottish Eagles and finally the Paisley Pirates.
Clan Hockey & Operations Director Gareth Chalmers commented: “Kevin McCoskrie and Derek McCallum came to me with the idea earlier in the season of commemorating the Ayr Scottish Eagles Grand Slam anniversary and I straight away wanted to acknowledge the occasion from a Clan perspective.
“While we are two totally separate organisations, what the Scottish Eagles achieved in that Grand Slam season was remarkable and hasn’t been repeated by a Scottish team since.
“We reached out to Jim and invited him along to the game against one of his former teams in the Fife Flyers – we were delighted when he accepted.
“I am sure he’ll get a warm welcome to Braehead Arena from the Purple Army and visiting Fife Flyers supporters.”
