Kevin Parrish will impose a strict fitness regime as Invicta Dynamos prepare for their opening ENIHL game against Milton Keynes Thunder on September 14.

The club’s head coach will test his players’ fitness levels on a monthly basis and will also be keeping a close eye on what they are eating.

He said: “Fitness is a big thing in any sport. We struggled with fitness last season and picked up a few niggling injuries as a result of that.

“I’ve got a fitness coach coming in and the players will be starting off with a bleep test. I’ll be looking at fitness throughout the season.”
