Quotes of the week
..Edinburgh Capitals have added forward Adam Taylor to their roster for the upcoming Elite League season.
Taylor spent last season playing in the ECHL for the Victoria Salmon Kings where he racked up 31 points and 68 penalty minutes.
The 26-year-old has played over 300 professional games and is now relishing the opportunity to prove himself in Great Britain.
Taylor said: "I am very excited to be coming to Edinburgh. I have had some really good talks with Gratts (Edinburgh coach Brad Gratton) and he's the type of coach I feel will push me and the Capitals in the right direction.
Leader
"When going overseas you need to feel some kind of comfort with your coach because you never really know what you're getting into, Gratts' honest and down to earth approach made coming to the EIHL an easy choice."
Gratton, who recently took over from Doug Christiansen as Edinburgh coach, added: "Adam was drafted in the NHL by the Carolina Hurricanes and also signed a two year deal in the AHL. He has very good experience as a player and will be one of our leaders.
"I am hoping he will be a big part of our team; he is a good skater, a smart player with a good shot. Taylor has great size for a centre and he will be our key face-off man. Games can be won or lost on face-offs so it is good to have a great face-off man.
"Adam plays hard every night and that is what we need. With a great attitude and lots of experience he will make us a better team."
