Doyle is a devil!


Cardiff devils have signed Canadian net minder Frank Doyle who played in the AHL (american hockey league). He has had a successful career playing with Worcester sharks and currently playing with HC Fassa in Italy, and can't wait to join Devils. He's a huge signing for the devils, who missed out on a bronze medal at playoffs weekend loosing 11-5 to the Coventry Blaze. The welsh side hope he'll be a hit and can finally get Cardiff to some silverware.

  Their previous goaltender Chris Whitely, didn't get devils anywhere. He wasn't  what devils were looking for and just couldn't settle in with them. Credit to him for how he tried. It isn't easy joining a team mid-season, but he didn't get many wins for Cardiff. He was lucky to get them to their 10th playoff finals weekend in a row. The only team in the league to achieve that. Whitely was signed as a replacement for former goalie Phil Oaser. He went home to Norway to be closer to family.

Hopefully, Doyle shall be a hit with Cardiff. Could this be devils year? Things are looking good... and the puck hasn't even dropped yet!
