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… 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...

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… What can I say about bringing Barnesy back? If we’re looking to compete for the league, we needed to make sure Barnesy was part of the team. Watching him settle into the league over the last two seasons has been a pleasure. He’s a game-changer. He can spark us at any...
