𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… What can I say about Matty? What a character and just an all-around good kid. He’s laid back and plays like a veteran 98% of the time. The other 2% is only because he’s still learning — but even then, he’s incredibly effective. He’s still developing, and that’s what I love about...
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… What can I say about Ridz? He’s an absolute pleasure to have around the room. Calm, relaxed, and sometimes maybe a little too chilled for some people’s liking, but that’s just his style. After chatting with Ridz this season, I think we both agree there’s still a bit more he can give...
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… I’m really excited about this addition. Charlie has once again been solid up in the National League. He is a great two-way player and understands the kind of battle it takes to add depth to our lineup. He’s a player who will get the opportunity to play and earn more ice time...
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… When we first had Liam out with us before last season, it was a no-brainer — the kid was ready to play at our level. I would’ve brought him in sooner if I could, but the age restrictions really came into play. He quickly earned the nickname “Ricky Bobby” from the boys...
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… Jakub came onto my radar shortly after the season ended. As we continue to build, and with the league sticking to the two-import rule, we felt we could strengthen the lineup by bringing him in. I’ve spoken before about the importance of quality in depth, and Jakub fits that mold perfectly. I’ve...
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… It’s no secret that we made a hard push and fell just short last season. When the board, Ollie, and I sat down, we were all aligned on the direction we wanted to go and that’s to go for it. When Harrison became available, and after the conversations we had, it became...
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… Liam was a guy we picked up late last season. He fit right into the room with the boys. He’s a player who doesn’t take a night off and rarely loses battles—something we’ll be emphasizing with the group this season. I don’t think Liam had a fair crack at it, as he...

Upon his appointment Graham Lomax (current Board member) commented: “Were delighted Graham has decided to join us, his passion for the club is there for all to...
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… Bobby has proven himself to be one of the top defencemen in the league. He’s someone I personally confide in a lot. He’s a leader on this team and a true competitor. He wants to win and is here to win. He’s great in the room, and his play has continued to...
Today, I announce my retirement from Ice Hockey. On Monday night, I had a phone call with Dominic Osman, where he told me I wasn’t going to be playing this upcoming season for the Blackburn Hawks. That’s not how I imagined it ending. This was always going to be my final year playing hockey so...
