from the ChronicleLive,
Newcastle Vipers have lost their top scorer after Todd Griffith resigned from the club using social networking website Facebook to inform fans he had quit Rob Wilson’s side.
His controversial exit comes in the same weekend that he slotted home the vital penalty during a shoot-out last night in Murrayfield, which sent Vipers into the semi-finals of the British Knockout Cup after a 6-6 aggregate draw against Edinburgh Capitals.
The player – who once iced for Tampa Bay Lightning in the NHL as a “try out” player – leaves Tyneside as their 16-goal top scorer, with eight assists to boot.
Canadian Griffith was one of a number of players who was on a two-week notice period which Wilson had exercised in order to raise performance levels.
