Forward Adam Taylor is the Edinburgh Capitals latest roster addition. Taylor spent last season playing in the ECHL for the Victoria Salmon Kings where he had 31 points, from 13 goals and 18 assists, and had 68 penalty minutes. Taylor as played over 300 professional games, is a strong two way centre who competes every night. He is a face off specialist who likes to shoot the puck.

Taylor said, "I am very excited to been coming to Edinburgh. I have had some real good talks with Gratts and he's the type of coach I feel will push me and the Capitals in the right direction. When going overseas you need to feel some kind of comfort with your coach because you never really know what you're getting into, Gratts' honest and down to earth approach made coming to the EIHL an easy choice." 

Edinburgh Capitals coach, Brad Gratton, commented, "Adam was drafted in the NHL by the Carolina Hurricanes and also signed a two year deal in the AHL. He has very good experience as a player and will be one of our leaders. I am hoping he will be a big part of our team; he is a good skater, a smart player with a good shot. Taylor has great size for a centre and he will be our key face off man. Games can be won or lost on face offs so it is good to have a great faceoff man.

"Adam plays hard every night and that is what we need. With a great attitude and lots of experience he will make us a better team."
