Andreas Kapoulas believes Bristol Flyers will be in safe hands when Nick Burns steps in as acting Head Coach this weekend.
Kapoulas flew to Australia this week to begin the final stage of preparation for the 2018 Commonwealth Games as England head coach, before the team's opening game of the competition against Scotland on Thursday, April 5th.
Burns’ tenure as acting Head Coach will begin this weekend against the Cheshire Phoenix, where Flyers will also be without Daniel Edozie due to Team England commitments.
Team Scotland are set to fly out to the Gold Coast next week, meaning Flyers' captain Mike Vigor will still be available to play on Saturday night.
"It’s going to be very difficult for me,” Kapoulas revealed to Bristol Flyers TV.
“I’ve only missed two games in the 13 years that I’ve been coaching the Flyers and to suddenly miss four games in the period of three and half weeks will be very tough.
“I feel like I’m leaving the team in no better hands than Nick (Burns). We’ve been preparing for this moment all season and we knew this time was coming, so we’ve been preparing for how we’re going to operate whilst I’m away.
"I’ll be in constant communication with Nick - we’ll be talking all the time and Chris Bourne will also support Nick too.
"It’s not an ideal situation but I think we have everything in place to make the most of it.”
