Now that Ed is back in command he’s wasting no time about building his 2007-2008 team.  Looking to get a core of players together he’s hoping to bring back Jeff Hutchins, JP Morin and Graeme Walton.  Hutchins was good for 38 goals last season, a real offensive explosion hat the Giants could really do with again this coming season.  Walton was the best British player on the team and it earned him a call-up to the senior British team for the World Championships.  Morin was an offensive threat from the defence and brought an excellent passing game to the team. 

According to Ireland’s Saturday night;

“When I get myself sorted out then Jeff Hutchins will be one of the first calls that I make,” said Courtenay.

“He should have been in the All-Star team and I think it was a joke that he wasn’t.”

Expect defenceman JP Morin to be high up Courtenay’s list too, unless someone comes up with a better offer in a higher quality league.

After impressing last season and making the Great Britain squad Graeme Walton will be back, but a replacement for his defensive partner Todd Kelman must be found.
