MALCOLM CAMERON will do his reflecting and forward planning with the warmth of the Florida sun on his back. The Glasgow Clan head coach has returned to the family home following the conclusion of a tumultuous campaign that ended with his team beaten by Cardiff Devils in the first round of the EIHL play-offs. After doing the hard work by winning the first leg in Wales, Clan were shut out upon their return home and ended up being suckered by two third period goals. It was a painful way to end the season.
Cameron took a few days to “decompress” after that loss. It is a result that still stings but the Nova Scotian can also now appreciate the bigger picture. This was a season that unfolded initially to a background of uncertainty and chaos, with Cameron drafted in to take charge of a franchise re-emerging from a lengthy Covid shutdown with a threadbare roster and unsure whether they would be able to play at all as the wrangle over ownership of their Braehead Arena rink dragged on and on.
