Roster
During the 2015-16 season, the Guildford Flames participated in the semi-professional English Premier Ice Hockey League. It was the 24th year of ice hockey played by the Guildford Flames and the ninth season under Paul Dixon as head coach. The club would secure the 2015-2016 'Double' with the capture of the Cup and Playoff title. After a disappointing 2014-15 season, the Flames were quick to make changes, with the club releasing Neil Liddiard, David Longstaff, and David Savage just days after the season had ended. Further announcements were made during the off-season with the departure of Branislav Kvetan and fellow imports - Jozef Kohut, Roman Tvrdon and Vladimir Kutny. It was announced towards the end of April 2015, that after indicating his intention to remain at the Spectrum for the forthcoming season, netminder James Hadfield, opted instead to sign with Milton Keynes Lightning. Talking about the decision Head Coach Paul Dixon said: I spoke with James after the season, and as far as those conversations went he was returning to the club so we had plans for him in the roster, and were in the process of getting formal items in place for that to happen. Somewhere along the way he went a different route, and he informed us once something else was in place. It is a disappointing turn of events, but we will immediately move on and begin the replacement search. Joining the club roster for the 2015-16 season was Slovenian forward Matic Kralj from Kazakhstan outfit Beibarys Atyrau. He was joined at the club by the Swedish forward Jens Eriksson. The two had played together previously in their career when they were both at the French club Ours de Villard-de-Lans.
