“Brick by brick, we build the future.”
Season 207 was all about rebuilding, learning, and laying the groundwork for long-term success for the Plestioara Flyers. Although the results on the ice didn’t improve in the standings, the team took significant steps forward behind the scenes—setting up a stronger, more stable foundation for the years ahead.
📉 On-Ice Performance: Same Place, Harder Road
The Flyers once again finished 10th in Division 6.02 - East Europe, matching their Season 206 position—but this time with only 8 points, down from the previous campaign. The stats paint a picture of a team still struggling to find its rhythm, especially on special teams:
-
Penalty Kill Efficiency: 62.37%
-
Power Play Efficiency: 14.49%
While the numbers were disappointing, the team’s commitment to improvement has not wavered.
💫 Bright Spot: Dejan Murin
In a tough season, one name stood tall again: Dejan Murin. With an impressive 36 points, he proved once more to be the cornerstone of the team and a reliable presence game after game.
🏟️ Arena & Attendance: Growth Despite Results
Off the ice, the Flyers made significant strides. The arena was expanded to 4,500 seats, leading to an average home attendance of 3,482 fans per game—a notable jump from the previous season. Fan interest is clearly growing, and with another expansion planned for Season 208, that momentum is set to continue.
💶 Financial Health: Strong and Smart
The Flyers closed out Season 207 with a healthy €830,481 in the bank. Most of this revenue came from ticket sales and the home game experience, proving once again that the Flyers are building a strong financial base.
All profits were wisely reinvested into the arena and club facilities, continuing the cycle of growth that will fuel better results down the road.
👶 Looking Ahead: Youth Focus
With infrastructure taking shape, the next step is developing homegrown talent. Plans are underway to expand the Youth Academy, giving the Flyers a pipeline of skilled players for the future. This strategic move will help reduce reliance on aging veterans and bring a new energy to the squad.
🛠️ Summary:
Season 207 wasn’t about winning—it was about learning, growing, and preparing. While the scoreboard didn’t always reflect it, the Flyers took vital steps in becoming a more competitive club both on and off the ice.
🚀 What’s Next for the Flyers?
With strong finances, growing attendance, and a youth system ready for expansion, Season 208 promises to be a turning point. The foundation has been laid—now it’s time to rise.
