Breaking news! Having missed it with all the writing I've been doing as the main focus, I've managed to only just spot the transfer of Tommy to Hampstead from Indian Gym (which I somehow missed as wasn't checking that section of the England hockey website, but it was on Sunday, so not too late). Which obviously messes up the write-up I was attempting about Scanlon and goalie projections for Hampstead (so I will have to rework it as such then!). This is a great opportunity though for all concerned though, in seriousness. It offers great competition for Hampstead as Tommy performed well to turn the sinking ship around at Indian Gym in his first starting opportunity (having been second choice at Surbiton for nearly four seasons) with a string of clean sheet performances, and will put him in greater for spots in Scotland given that he and Jamie Cachia are the only Scots guard (well, Scottish goalie, and the goalies guard the last line of defence, failed metaphor...) in the premier league, with competition Carr and Dick in the national conference East.
Sheridan Leech is still around, having benched for Ian the season gone and will probably play 2s as things go forward, although it's anybody's guess how management will organise the situation as it is. So this leaves Hampstead as the strongest team goalie wise in the entire league. Both will push each other, drawing the best out of each other and thus do well by the team, as neither will want to bench; 'Scanners' after being first choice for so long, and Tommy after pushing himself to get this far and being as hard working and ambitious as he is. It will be interesting to review how things turn out as the season progresses, but for now it's looking good for the London based side (any other team not being in London proper!).
