Fife Flyers Sign Milan Lucic as Backlash Builds Over Move

His debut hinges on paperwork for a club rooted to last place in the EIHL.

Overview

  • The club announced the 37-year-old signed for the rest of 2025–26 and will wear No. 8, with his first game contingent on completion of paperwork.
  • Scottish Women’s Aid criticized the decision, saying employing a player previously accused of violence against women sends the wrong message.
  • Chief operating officer Gareth Chalmers resigned last week citing disagreement with the club’s direction, and media coordinator Craig Anderson also departed this week.
  • The Canadian Press reported Lucic’s 2023 case related to an alleged domestic incident was dropped after the complainant declined to testify.
  • Fife sit last in the 10‑team EIHL after three wins in their first 20 games, and local coverage reported at least one sponsor ended its partnership with the team.
