Or potentially no team at all. It's positive if they get new owners who really want to take it forward, but reports suggest nothing in place yet.
It's concerning, as very much needs 10 team min really, and should ideally be looking to increase.

I really do hope that someone comes in for the club, not an easy task in present day situation. But if they were taken over by right people and run correctly regarding sponsors and business side in general then with the history side of club and fans they could attract in then there is always a chance they can go on. Good luck fife,,,,

Rumours on THF (not sure on reliability) but sounds like a few groups potentially interested in buying Fife. Tony Hand + others rumoured to be interested.
Apart from Lee Mercer who has declared interest with plan to take Fife to NIHL, no other positions on what level the club would play at from any of the other rumoured interested parties.

Found this on BBC Sounds. It's a good listen and makes it even more poignant that we might lose this team from the league.

Fife Flyers update
April 5, 2025
share:
As you are aware, in late January 2025 current owners Tom Muir and Jack Wishart made the difficult decision to retire and step down as owners of Fife Flyers IHC following 28 years at the helm. The duo wished to find new owners/operators who they could pass the baton on to and who would take the team forward in the EIHL.
We are excited to share that an agreement in principle has been reached to secure the future of the Fife Flyers. As paperwork still needs to be completed, we are not in a position to announce the new owners details just yet, but we hope to do this soon. Our current social media, emails and webpage will remain active during this interim period.
This marks the beginning of a new chapter for the club, with fresh leadership, new energy, and a shared vision for building on the proud legacy of the Flyers.
While some final steps remain, all parties are committed to a bright and exciting future for hockey in Fife.

Given the line about new owners who could take the team forward in the EIHL, it would suggest that is the new owners plan. Excellent news!
Rumours suggest it may well be the Aspray group and Gareth Chalmers who previously had the Clan. If so I think there's positives and negatives, but it's also probably a good choice. Chalmers I know is a bit marmite, and definitely made errors at Glasgow, but equally an ownership group who knows what it takes to be an EIHL team is a big positive.
Hopefully we see a good competitive Fife team on the ice next year.
