- Devils’ Ice Forward Craig Heads Home To Scotland
Scottish forward Craig Moore has returned home and joined Fife Flyers in the town where he was born.
The all-action and versatile Moore will play for Kirkcaldy-based Flyers over the rest of this season and says: “I want to thank Devils for giving me the opportunity to play in Cardiff and to be a part of this organisation for the past two seasons.
“Winning the league and play-offs last year were amazing experiences, although being injured made it a tough season for me personally.
“Devils have looked after me well and Lordo (head coach Andrew Lord) has put in a lot of time with me. I love the city, the organisation and the fans and leave on good terms.
Thank you Mooresy. You’re not only a hockey player with great potential, you’re a class guy. Everything you did in the community was so appreciated. Good luck in Fife and I hope to see you again soon.

“I just feel that if I want to continue to improve, I need to get more playing time and right now there isn’t that opportunity with the Devils.”
“I am excited about getting this chance to move to Flyers and see if I can help them out. They are my hometown team and it is special to get to play for the team I grew up watching.”
Moore has been with the Devils for two seasons, but has had limited ice time with the Devils in 2018-19. He has scored two goals and added three assists in 31 games.
Last season Moore suffered a season-ending injury that limited him to just 17 games with the Devils.
“We have been speaking to Craig over the last few weeks and feel that for him to develop more as a player, he needs more ice time, which he isn’t getting right now with us,” said Todd Kelman.
“We spoke to a few teams that we felt would be a good fit for him and we think that Fife are ideal for him right now. He is going to a great organisation where he will get more ice time and get to play in his home town.
“We know that Todd Dutiaume and Jeff Hutchins are going to be able to use him more than we can right now and between ourselves, Flyers and Craig, we agreed that this is the right fit for him.”
