Jay Latulippe

[Chris]

Do we have any news on a possible arrival for him?

With Voth banned, it'd be good to get him in ASAP and take us some way to replacing our scoring power!

Chris.

The preview of the Stingrays game off the official site has the following

Cardiff forward Jay Latulippe is waiting for the green light while his paperwork is finalised and could fly in from North America soon.

I read somewhere G was hoping he'd be here for both games this weekend. Really looking forward to seeing him in action.

 

[wobpfm]

for any of you that are on face book add Jay as your friend and look at his photos.......

if he is as good at hockey as he is at partying then we have signed one hell of a player lol :lol:

 

[NOISYGIRL]

Trouble is I think they're all too good at that sometimes

 

[steve]

also, some of the comments on there are highly suggestive that he has some social plans over in the US, and as such will not be here this weekend.

d'oh.

 

[black_line1997]

I'm not being funny like, but i am sponsoring his home set 1 jersey this season and i want to see a bit of wear on it>>> :lol:

 

[fordy66]

i have been told Jay will arrive in time for the play-offs..... :lol:

 

[Anonymous]

Well if there are further delays, get another import in, especially as we're likely to lose Voth for a few games (hopefully not 12!). Things like visas should have been sorted out weeks ago.

d'oh.

Does this suggest that the delays are coming from our end or from Jay?

I'm a bit concerned about his record - he has never finished a season with the same team he started it with, in his professional career.

I hope these stats and info are misleading and don't give a true reflection of Jay.

Teams people have played for in America can be quite misleading due to the trading system. Jay looks like someone who isnt a superstar in the minors but does a job which makes him perfect trade material for coaches who may want to improve their squad.


Tyson played with him and reccomended him so as of right now i dont think we should have any concerns as to his mentality.

Thanks Gazza,

I didn't know about the recommendation from Tyson.

That's good enough for me.

Wales Online has an update today in one of its articles

The Devils still have one player, forward Jay Latulippe, to come in and Adams said: “He was due to get his visa at the end of last week – and we expect him in over the next few days.”

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sports/ice ... -21819765/
Looking forward to seeing him in the starting line-up next week at Amazingstoke.

 

[Rempel16]

G stated in the programme saturday that Jay is a good passer so he should easily slot in as a playmaker, although it maybe worth him beginning on 3rd line with Towe and Cowie. Our 3rd line is more thasn holding its own at the moment but Towe is getting into great positions and finding himself on his own so Jay could start there.

Only problem would be that both Towe and Jay are set up men so one would have to take on the shooting role temporarily. Of course Brad may not be around this weekend which would mean problem solved anyhow.

 

[Burgy]

Fingers crossed he is in for this weekend. Its taking its time but as the saying goes.

Good things come to those who wait

 

[Anonymous]

The guy was supposed to be getting his visa at the end of last week, according the Adams. What's the hold up? It's important that he gets here and settles in asap, because I presume we're likely to be without Voth for a little while. Getting a bit frustrated with this, should have been sorted out by now.

Well, I would have thought he would have applied before 8th September. If not, looks like he might not be in for a while yet!

 

[Finny]

I believe something was wrong with his initial Visa application and he has had to reapply. They were expecting to hear more at the start of this week.

Taken from Devils web site

The Devils may well be without Captain Brad Voth this weekend but the long wait for the arrival of Jay Latulippe will end when he flies into Heathrow on Saturday morning ready to take his place on the team against Basingstoke.
