BLACKBURN Hawks could take their import catch to six this weekend.
Arena officials are hoping to land experienced Canadian defenceman Kevin Doherty.
Doherty, who played for Murrayfieeld last season and previously performed in Holland's Elite League, has spent the summer coaching in Ireland.
"That's the complication we face," said Hawks new player-coach Bobby Haig. "We would love Kevin here and he wants to sign, but it all comes down to work commitments."
Hawks have assembled their biggest playing staff for some time for the 1998-99 campaign which opens up on Sunday night with a home date and Whitebirk Raiders from the Isle of White in the English Cup (6pm).
Full preview in tomorrow's Lancashire Evening Telegraph.
