Courtenay Expected In Phoenix Line Up
9:56pm Friday 8th January 2010 in
MANCHESTER Phoenix expect to have top scorer Ed Courtenay available for this weekend's crunch English Premier League fixtures.
The 41-year-old Canadian had been delayed returning to the UK from his South Carolina home.
But club officials expect the 31-goal hotshot to take to the ice this Saturday.
Courtenay, a former NHLer with San Jose Sharks, has been on fire this season with his first line partner Tony Hand.
The duo have terrorised defences and added 138 points between them.
He was clearly missed in the club's two defeats last weekend and Phoenix will be looking for an immediate return to form as they look to overhaul Milton Keynes' four-point lead at the top of the English Premier League.
Phoenix face Peterborough at home on Saturday (7pm) before travelling to Romford on Sunday (5.15pm).
