If the sad and emotional scenes in the early part of this week failed to hit home the reality that the Hull Stingrays will not take their place in the upcoming 10/11 Elite League season, then the disbandment of Sylvain Cloutier's 16 man squad certainly will.
That process began today as defenceman Matt Suderman signed in Scotland with the EIHL's newest side the Dundee Stars.
The departure of the tough 27 year old defensive blueliner marks the beginning of the very end for the Stingrays, at least for this year, and appears to have extinguished any hope of a rumoured saviour for the quickly approaching season. One-by-one during the coming weeks and days Suderman's 15 previously prospective team mates for the upcoming season will join the tough guy in signing elsewhere.
In other news, former Stingrays enforcer Adam Knight was confirmed as signing in the Central Hockey League with Wichita Thunder.
