Soner Özmen has played on two national championship for GSK. Last season Soner was selected to Turkish to U17 IIHF Development Team. ''Soner has great hands and the potential to be a great players,'' said Keith McAdams, head coach of GSK. "If Soner picks up his skating he can become one of the best players in Turkey."

GSK notified the TBHF, they will not take part in Super League this season. GSIM management cited, "the failure to pay travel cost from last season." GSK management said, "The TBHF made an unfair schedule. The TBHF scheduled only provided one home weekend and expects GSK to pay 80% of travel costs."

We asked Coach McAdams to comment on the problems in TBHF. "I will just say it's a big loss for Erzurum and Turkish Hockey,'' said Keith McAdams. "Anytime you lose a day of training it lost for ever. These players will never be able make up the loss of not playing in league.''

The TBHF will go ahead with the Super League with three teams.
