NIHL North News Bulletin


The relocation of defencemen Andy Dunn and Max Drakeley to Australia has added to Blackburn’s lengthy exit list this week but Head Coach Matt Darlow continues to strengthen his squad for his first campaign with the Lancashire outfit, signing Swedish centre Patrik Nyman from Grästorps IK. 

Aged thirty four, Nyman has played most of his hockey in Sweden’s Division One and his skill is evidenced by his stats. In 2003-04, Nyman was Olofströms IK’s top points scorer that season, achieving thirty points in thirty five games and he also went on to become top points scorer for Lindlövens IF in their 2006-07 campaign, scoring twelve goals and tallying twenty three assists. An experienced player, it is clear that Nyman will be an excellent addition to Darlow’s team.

Meanwhile, Hawks’ forward Tom King has chosen to leave the club behind whilst blue liner Nick Oliver joins Blackburn’s ever-growing roster and Sheffield Spartan Brandon Stones has made the switch to EPL outfit Sheffield Steeldogs.
