I even had to ask the then Wolves secretary, Phil Shaw, for a tenner so I could fill up my car with petrol on the way!

That's going to be probably the toughest challenge. We've spread our net quite wide with the keepers and also looked at how were developing players.
Kyle will be number one. He's over in Europe right now playing and working with one of the best goalkeeper trainers in the world so hopefully he's getting the kind of development and growth we're after.
He narrowly missed out on the Olympics, he's the one I think is going to go a long way. Quite similar to Simon in a lot of respects but still has his own game. I think those two are going to be two of the leading stars in world hockey in the next four to eight years. He's an exciting prospect.
It will be a good side. There are a few young stars coming out in their game. Often they're a bit disorganised with the federation in behind them but in regards to the talent, there's just so many good players over there.
I think it's quite an exciting time for men's hockey. The squad we have at the moment is quite mature so they'll go through to 2010. Between 2010 and 2012, depending on how well we progress these young players, will depend on how strong we are at the Olympics. There's a lot for the young guys to play for.
