Mike was another injury victim in 97-98, missing about a third of the season after suffering a back injury. He iced briefly toward the seasons end and was called up to the GB squad at the regular seasons end for the World Pool B tourney. In 98/99 he turned in his best season for the Panthers IMO. He didn't return for 99/200, with Panthers cutting back on wages Mike went north of the border and joined the Ayr Eagles
